Had to come back. Forget all that. Man you flat out earned it! Like Dippity-Do. A little dab will do ya. A little Motovlog here and there to shake things up and throw everybody a curve ball. A keyboard ballad, sinking one dead center in the corner pocket. Or a good Bourbon, cigar and thoughts while out on back forty on the Q. Keep inspiring my brother. Dueces -RG out!

@@GARamblinManmy son is Mechanical Engineer. Just started with Army Corp in Hendersonville TN at the Old Hickory Dam. He is loving it. He just turned 26. Does USAF Reserves as well.
@GARamblinMan he interned about a year while in school here in Memphis. Memphis offered a position in construction, but he went with the “Hydro” offer. Little more $$ and thought it would be more interesting to him. Kid doing great. We are proud!
I've been watching your videos for years and learned a lot. Thankyou for actually being a guy that has knowledge, experience, know how and your videos are perfect, learned alot from you.
Good to another video from you this week! We’ve got a lot in common, motorcycling, musician ( guitar for me ), and now retirement. It’s nice not having to be somewhere at a certain time. Played at church last Sunday & right afterwards the wife and I hopped down to Kentucky to Mammoth Cave for a day. Nice to be able to just decide to go on a quick trip.
That sounds great. I sat in a couple times in December with a church in keys, and also unfortunately sang and played at a former church bandmate funeral before that. Hoping to find my place back again playing at church some. Wanted to learn Bass to diversify a bit!
It was an adjustment for me too, Mike. But I settled in and I'm glad you have as well. Nothing like being free to fill your days however you choose. I hope you both have many years of retirement in your future. Be well.
I'm enjoying my and my wife's retirement, at first when I retired over 4 years ago it took me almost a year to get used to it. After working 46 years i felt like I was playing hooky from work. when i got up every morning. I still get up at 5 AM everyday though. Like you said there is nothing like it. We have no dept, house and vehicles all paid for that's a great feeling. I feel relaxed and stress free. Hope to see more RU-vid stuff from you. You are looking good MM. You are a multi-talented guy. ds
Hey Mike, good to see you making videos again. I retired from the USPS 10 months ago and I do enjoy it but after working for 45 years and then to just stop is a big adjustment. I did get to spend more time on my Goldwing last summer. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching.
I have heard some others are also considering quieting RU-vid depends on how big you are as far as subscription numbers. I still love You Tube videos!! I had 46 years and retired and sadly I am busier than before retirement, so I guess I’m not really retired ??
I absolutely love retirement. Bored no way. The best part of retirement for me is long vacations, and I mean long 5,6,7,8 weeks at a time. This year Alaska and British Columbia for almost 4 weeks. Then Norway for 3 weeks.
Sir. I just want you to know that you are the reason I purchased my Indian 3 years ago, your video's inspired me to pick up riding again. Please keep posting.
I’m 58 and started trying to retire at 50. My friends ask me what I do with my time, I tell them what all the old farts told me over the years, I don’t know how I ever had time to work! One of the things I did was start my own channel 🤦🏻♂ Saw your comment on Buzz’s retirement garage where you said you wanted to revive your channel. A lot of us have the same struggles and retirement channels are cool. I’m going to help you out and subscribe to see what you come up with next. 🇺🇸
Well i so appreciate that. I think followers these days are enjoying just simple down to earth honest blogs that are real. I think the trend of over produced YT vids will always have their place, but as someone commented earlier, in the old days of youtube it was almost like you were having a conversatiom with the content creator!
Good to see your doing well. I enjoyed the moto videos but completely understand doing other things and riding less I’m kinda going that way myself. Couple mishaps and close calls. Still love gliding on 2 wheels though.
Fantastic MM, being retired I can understand. I did get bored a lot so I took a part time job at Georgia Southern here in Statesboro, Ga. We are headed back to Middle Tn. we are not satisfied with this area. Will let you know when get relocated maybe get together for a ride. Be safe, have fun.
Well Mike I am ok with the area, the riding is not very good but the real issue is the is away from the Grand babies. Enough said, it would be a losing battle so just give up and head back home. Should not be too long house is for sale and had 3 showings in the first week. Be safe Bro! @@MemphisMike901
I understand that completely. Well we are looking further south of Murfreesboro about an hour. Lots of good riding from there and the kids are an hour away. I will probably go full retirement again. Woohoo lol @@MemphisMike901
@@MemphisMike901 he was in his 50s he hurt his back. He had to have a back operation. He was at tractor-trailer driver. He pulled those doubles. He hurt his back, moving one of those dollies.
@@Chickenpotpieman the Feeders does have its physical challenges as well. I tried it for a week…it was just nit my thing so i stayed with Package delivery.
Angle the camera and show us your piano Mike,, I play the organ,, 20, 30,40 big band styles mostly. Orla grand theatre organ fyi… you don’t need a direction. Just do vids when you feel ikes it and enjoy. Can’t waight to sea you bike again… 🇬🇧👍
That is awesome. you must really be a great musician to play a venue like that! Seems like ai am learning more about some of my followers these last couple of vids than I did in 5 yrs. I will see what I can do on the camera angle. I am using a webcam attached to monitor. I actually need to get it off the piano as it shakes a tad when I play 😂.
Mike; with respect to riding i do believe you have never rode the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, etc. Dude, you need to ride Beartooth, Tetons, Rocky Mountain National etc. The rocky mountains are the best. Nothing like it in the east. I living in Illinois and can not wait to go back.
mann retired for 4 years and not looking back, F-the machine! lol youtube takes the fun out of making vids because they only push drama type stuff and whatever the robots want to push, thats why I don't make many vids anymore. Enjoy it to the MAX!
I agree 100%. Thats why I am maybe going to go to this style setting for a while if that is ok with my followers. A 10 minute motorcycle ride video could take 6-10hrs total time or more to edit/assimilate. This took me 1 hour, and only because i adjusted audio 3 times 😂. I hope folks will stick with me!
I like doing NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING (like Seinfeld show :)! Worked all my life since College years and when the time was right, never looked back. No more sleep and anxiety medications and prescription fills. I never get stomach related problems anymore. I now have more time for long walks, motorcycle rides, traveling and family. Don't listen to those "especially on CNBC" to never to retire. If you have the savings, spend less money for the stupid things and retire early. I now buy things from Costco, Wallmart and Wegman's instead of WholeFoods. As an example, Farm raised salmon $22 a pound disgustingly and shamelessly at Wholefoods while the better and healthier cockeye salmon is $13 a pound at Costco). There is only one life to live. Cheers!
Haha. And Lunch is CHEAP at Costco and Sam’s! We have become the same way. We do not piss $$ away on irrelevant thing. Actually eat out LESS than when working too. 😊
Good recall MM! 😂 Correct! Absolutely stay in touch with Chris. It will probably need to be you doing the reach out and the call. And that’s ok. We don’t keep score. It’s who we are baby. Like Nike. Just do it!
