Heaven for a fat guy that likes to be tan right there!!! I've often told people my perfect temperature is 65-66 but I will go up to 68 with a breeze, 71 with a breeze and light clouds.

Umm, if it roars going into sixth, that means you missed the shift.
Either that, or it's your wife roaring 'cuz you're doing 85 in a school zone.
- Notre Dame or any SEC teaming losing, in any sport.
- Taking a corner absolutely perfectly at the track.
- The first morning in Paris.
- Jumping in the pool after three hours of tennis or a long bike ride.
- Great live music (e.g., James McMurtry, Paul Thorn, Jon Dee Graham, Marc Cohn, in a small venue (<500 seats).
- Sharing great wine, Calvados, Armagnac, or Scotch with my wife.
- Finishing the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle in under 30 minutes.
- The top down on a perfect day -- or night -- and a great driving song coming on the radio: Steppenwolf, Cars, Bob Seger, Talking Heads, etc.

Some consider Rodney Carrington to be dumb, lowbrow humor. They could not be more right. Nevertheless, I can't not think of this song every time I see the this thread.
NSFW if you work in some hellhole that doesn't permit celebrations of titties and beer.

So, my mother-in-law purchased the house (from which I am standing on the deck taking this pic) back in the mid 60's. The house is 2 houses from the beach on Long Beach Island, NJ. My wife would spend many summers and off-season weekends here, and would describe this place as heaven. When I met my wife, we would come up here on the weekends. My wife has a huge family, and on any given weekend, different family members would come and hang out. I fell in love with this beach quickly, and would give anything to have a house here.
In 2005, my in-laws health started to decline, and they could no longer maintain the property. The house was sold, and my in-laws moved in with us. The house was sold to a cousin, but he didn't give family any discounts on rent (and grossly over-charged rent). He sold the house a few days before hurricane Sandy rolled through.
Amazingly, the house took no damage from the storm. Some of the houses next to us could not say the same. The house on the water looks to have been completely rebuilt.
After an 11 year hiatus from LBI, we decided to come back for vacation this year. While looking for rentals, my wife found her house, and quickly contacted the owner. We were able to secure the house for the week, and it was been a great week so far.
The beaches here are so different than the MD beaches. The sand is finer, the atmosphere better, and there are not 100s of people crowded around. I now have to agree with my wife, that this has to be what heaven is like. This is now my happy place, and couldn't think of any place better to be.

Being on the A5 in Southern Germany with no speed limit and a rental very capable of 200 kph+ 
Europa Park - Rust, Germany - One of the best theme parks you can go to. Great food, nice rides, no big crowds, almost no English language, no crowds of morbidly obese Americans in motorized scooters, no trailer trash...bier. The German/Swiss/French majority customers are some of the most pleasant people you can be with. Happy, happy, happy...

- Keeping two pair in Scrotum and flopping a well disguised boat.
- Getting my straddle raised by another player, love the action.
- Making a clever pun that makes my wife laugh, who is nearly immune to my wit these days.
- Coming home from work and having my daughter smile at me.
- Amazon Prime deliveries.
- The first bite into a juicy hamburger.
- Fiji water.

This...next year will be riding season #10 on that bike (20 years overall). Still can't find a reason to trade it in on something newer. Nothing quite like that first ride after a long winter (and they are all long...).
Glad to hear you have maintained the change in lifestyle. Sounds like you found motivation through your appreciation in the opposite sex.

I'll move this to the bullshit thread about a week after Christmas, but I just got Trey (10 years old) an electric guitar.
Our son Ben has been jamming on one for a year or so now, even taking lessons. It's not so bad, but I do hear some sour notes! Last night like many, I just ask him to stop around 9:45.
