May move to Sacramento area

[HotRodZilla]

I think the desert heat is warping peoples brains out there.......$1,000 a MONTH just to play Golf?? I wouldn't pay $1,000 a month to play ANY sport although there's a lot of them I like!

Lotta nice riding roads in Northern Cal.........and less traffic when you get north of Sac.

GL on the move.

THAT'S why Jer wants to move. He was paying close to $500 and is now paying close to $1000. Jer may be rich and retired, but he knows a bum deal when he sees one. Besides, he can golf with his wife, but every time I've seen him, he's riding alone. Makes sense, except it's golf. I think I'd rather clean my toilets!!

I know........but there's STILL people paying that much to play golf, hence the warped brain comment!

Oh yeah...Good point!!

 

[wheatonFJR]

Yeah, $500/month is absolutely lucid.



j/k...whatever floats yer boat.

 

[Jer]

Jeeze Jer, I love ya man, but you would pick up and move your entire life for Golf? Seriously?? You have a disease!

Edited to add: You need to take up shooting. It's cheaper and way more fun!! $900/month to chase a white ball around?? Holy Hell...

AJ that is why we are moving, because of the price of golf here. When we first joined it was only $500 per month and for two people playing 4 days a week each that wasn't bad. Now they are asking double that and we decided we won't pay. As far as shooting, I would get bored with that in a hurry.

Oh by the was don't try to get me to move to Albuquerque because I have seen most of it on the TV show breaking bad and another show about people being in protective custody in Albuquerque.

My residence will still be Salem, Oregon, but this area will get us away from the rain. I am not sure what you mean by moving my entire life for golf. This area will give me some great riding in the winter and I will continue to ride out of Oregon in the summer.

Jer, I've been to Albuquerque three times a year since, for ever. It's about as much fun as watching paint dry! Although, running around town sampling the local tequila is real nice! Just Sayin' Oh, and playing golf is worse than watching paint dry.. Nuff Said... )

So what your are telling me is that why I am out having a good time playing golf with three friends your busy watching paint dry.

AJ, I am not rich, but I do not have any kids to support, car or house payments to make, so with our pensions and SS checks we live a pretty nice life. I don't really give a S___ if you boys like golf. It is our choice of how we spend our retirement years and you boys can do what you like when you retire.

My wife doesn't like to ride and the back of a motorcycle and neither would I. I should have got her a bike to ride when she was younger, but I think 68 is a little to old for her to start. AJ you see me alone because she doesn't object.

Atta Boy Jer!

Tell them young punks the Righteous Truth of Retirement!

..and be sure say Thanks when you pick up that monthly check in the mailbox, eh?

(cause we need them to stay working!)

I used to love eating acid and playing miniature golf. Does that count. The 60's in socal were great from what I remember.

Don't listen to AJ . They play golf with cactus apples and sticks.

I realize that Jer....but even YOU think (a Golf Lover) that paying almost $1,000 a month is way out there!

I guess you missed the part where the $1000/month is a proposal and the reason for us to be looking for a place to live elsewhere. When we joined the Bermuda Dunes Country Club the dues were around $500 and amounted to less than half of one of our SS checks. We could play golf much cheaper at other courses in the Coachella Valley(Palm Springs area), but we like the convenience of riding to the course in our Electric Cart. This is a gated community and we are only a mile from the clubhouse. This activity is all we do in the winter. I sure I could advise some of you about something you waste money on, but that is not my bag.

 

[Bustanut joker]

Just buy a tent Jer.. You can up and move wherever, whenever you want.. And these dinks don't have to know.

 

[FJRay]

He isn't on the run like you are and I better not find any tents in the goat pen.

 

[Bustanut joker]

Those would be TARPS Ray...... An keep yer meathooks off'n em!

Didn't miss it.

My point was there are OTHER people willing to pay that $1,000.00 a month, that's what amazes me.

I meant pick up your whole house and move, leaving your friends etc...But I forgot you have two places so must be more used to moving than me. I'm a big baby who hates change.
When I say shooting, I don't mean standing on a line and punching holes in paper. That bores me to death. I was talking USPSA, Steel Challenge, .22 steel matches, Multi-Gun, Sporting Clays and Tactical long range. Mix it all up and it's the most fun you can have with your pants on. Oh...And those little white balls do come in handy out there. They can be hard to hit at 250-300 yards with a .308.

I'm with ya bud. Golf balls at 2-3 hundred yards is a challenge. But the look on the faces of the golfer trash when you hit their ball is priceless.

 

[SoCalFJR1300]

Try to get in touch with some cops in the Sac area.......they know the best areas to live.

 

[Jer]

Good news for those living in the Sacrament area. We have decided to remain in the Palm Springs area. Watching the weather in Sacramento this winter we decided it was too cold for us and we hate to leave our home in this area. We will continue to spend winters here and summers in Salem. We plan to give up our golf membership at Bermuda Dunes Country Club and do most of our golfing in Salem.

I wish to thank all of those people with useful information concerning the Sacramento area and for those golf haters, just keep your opinions to yourself. I never asked you if you like golf or golfers, so do what you wish in your life and we will do the same.

Jer

Sacramento's loss...

Sacramento's loss...

Indeed.

 

[HotRodZilla]
