Welcome from you neighbors to the east. The photo below was taken when starting an Iron Butt ride down the entire Mississippi river and the next one at the finish at the Gulf of Mexico. 1700+ miles in 24 hours. I look a little better in Minnesota than in Louisiana.
Campfire, leather, and old books?!! Sounds like a perfect tobacco and life. Mix in 1/3 part motorcycle and you got the perfect recipe for life.
Also, it is not 'hoarding', it is investing in your retirement!
