Helped my nephews out doing construction for a year or so age 46 to 47. Then I went in to full retirement.

I have a couple of customers that I come out of retirement to do work for.

But I got bored ,so for fun I help out at a marina in Cape May New Jersey, where I keep my boat,

(The American Dream), from mid oct till dec 24th

Most of the money the marina pays me I give back to pay for my summer slip and winter storage.

I live on My boat in the summer .NO work in the summer.

Mid oct. till dec 24 I live in our house in the Wildwood Crest in New Jersey, also from mid April till mid May.

The Winter ,Late Jan till early April I live in my home in Key Largo ,Florida. No work while in Florida.

only boating , fishing , cruising , sightseeing,and bar hopping by car and boat. The rest of the time I live in my house in New Jersey near Philadelphia Pa.

Oh yea I have a 1986 Ford F250 4x4 full size pickup

black with 125,000 miles.

A 1973 Harley FX 1200 kick start only with 6 over front end and a weber side draft carb. ????miles

A 1987 SEL 420 midnight blue clear over black,

with 229,000 miles. Soon to be retired and replaced.

Still runs good and is very reliable.

A 1995 SL 600 black with 65,000

The Mercedes,, I guess it is my 100% German heritage .

The SL is the finest production model automobile made.

The V12 is the best of the SL's .

Fast, nimble,solid, RELIABLE, it is a pure pleasure to drive but you already know that.

Next you'll want to know what our hobbies are.

Ha Ha

My SL looks very much like yours down to the amg style wheels.

The thing is I just can't seem to wipe the smile off my face when driving it.

I try to look serious and then smile creeps back on to my face.

I have had the SL 2 years and I just turned 56

I think I was 53 when I bought it.
