Sell everything and move to a little grass hut in Fiji to stare out into the nothingness of open water all day, every day?

Never stared at the Ocean have ya? It's anything but boring. ?????ÿ

to each their own... after a decade or three I find the ocean quite boring

I think that you are the only one that replied to the OP properly - many seemed to come up with non-posted answers. In any event, I'm with you - the ocean is beyond amazing!

Say for some reason there was an absolute law

Nothing is absolute, except change; things will change, absolutely!

I'm not surveying; I'm just driving rebar in the ground...

If you like what you do, it's hard to call it work. If you are your own boss, you get to do it however you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want. If it ain't fun, I ain't doing it!

As long as this body holds out; I'm going to keep having fun, as long as I can.

You don't need to use your signal if you're in the turn lane. People around you will know your intentions by seeing where you're at...

@mark-mayer If you want to start on that 90 min presentation Idea, I may know a guy, who knows a guy, who can hook you up with a speaking slot at an annual conference close by. ;^)

?ÿ

Personally, to answer the question, I would do all that I can to travel, anywhere and everywhere.

I'm too young to be able to retire, so I guess... I dunno maybe some other STEM field.

My brother in law and anthropologist professor, and my friend and fbi profiler both got comped air fare, cabins and meal from small boutique cruise lines and could bring a spouse/friend along.?ÿ They had to pay for their own drinks but said others would pay just to listen to their stories - both good story tellers.?ÿ I had to work for a living and turned down several cruises w my BIL - thinking back, I should have just said f it and gone as life is too short.

My BIL said he could get me hooked up with contacts - I told him no one was interested in a surveyor - he said you would be surprised.

If nothing else, the stories of the crazy people we meet up with in the field would keep most people entertained.

Probably just a pipe dream, but want to hike, not around the block but the Arizona Trail, the PCT, Patagonia, New Zealand, Nepal. Someone asked where I want to retire. Finally realized I donƒ??t know, but I will when I get there.?ÿ
