Well if you gotta know I have my beautiful wife on my left and a rum and coke on my right. -

Looks like you're enjoying retirement.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Puritan Audio PSM136 Pwr Condtioner & Classic PC's | Legend L600 | Roon Nucleus 1 w/LPS - Tubes add soul! -

Why didn’t you get the Large?🤣
I’m jealous. We used to go pretty much yearly, but it’s been several years since my feet have touched the sands of a beach. I think it was Cabo in 2018🥲.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -

Ken, is this a place you own? Either way, enjoy your time.

Thanks for the comments and well wishes. To answer a few questions. Yes, I did retire. Turned 65 on January 1st and decided 50+ years working was enough. Really enjoying it.
We are currently in Puerto Vallarta. Absolutely love it here. We don't own a place but have a timeshare.
We normally come down for 2 weeks but decided to do 3 this year because our daughter got married on the beach this past Wednesday. It was absolutely beautiful.
Here's my current situation...

Nice. Congratulations on your daughter's nuptials. Dad must be very proud! Enjoy your time while down there and best wishes for wonderful weather.
