Two and half years ago I posted that I was still alive and prior to that it was a year since the post before that one. That's almost more frequently than the US President checks in.
As of today, some near miss incidents aside, I am still alive. For what it's worth.
I moved to Costa Rica last winter. I live on the side of a volcano there on some rural property, and two former steemians (or whatever you call us OGs who don't really do the hive thing much) are my next door neighbors even. So yeah, people I met on the old steem platform talked me into moving to an entirely different country. Naturally this happened after they went there first, and my visits to see them and their farm enticed me to buy the property next door to them and make the international move myself.
This is the volcano across the street from my front door. It's name is Volcan Miravelles. It's a couple hundred meters away to the peak in this photo from my front door, but nearly impossible to walk to the peak and it's hot springs filled crater.
It's nearly vertical and harsh, rugged and dense rain forest up there, impassable. Protected land anyway by the government and so most locals have never been much higher on it than the road that's partially visible in front of my land in this photo. I am surrounded by my former-steemian neighbors farm on one side, and cows all around me on the other sides.
It's a very nice place to be, and only about 6 kilometers straight down a rutted out, potholed dirt and gravel cow path to the closest small town of Bijagua de Upala, Costa Rica.
And here is another angle, standing out in the street a couple of kilometers down the road from my place, at an overlook which looks over the town below on the way down the mountain from my land to the local stores and businesses.
Stop by sometime, but bring your own hotdogs. The Costa Rican "hotdogs" are a little bit weird to the North American expectation.
Anyway, I am currently back in the USA right now handling some business, and got bored and peeked in here to see if the lights were still on.
Apparently they are.
If you remember when I used to do stuff around here and it hasn't left you hating me, say hello and I'll send you love as mush as my limited resource credits on an ancient, unused account will allow. If it has left you hating me, say hello anyway and allow me to give you even more reasons to hate me. I really don't mind at all. Not one little bit.
Otherwise, Carry on. I'll see you in a couple more years. Or maybe tomorrow. I haven't decided yet. That's the beauty of early retirement.
With all my love and hate, choose and apply either as you wish...
