I was looking last year at Fortress. 500$/day I think. Way cheaper at heliing as you say. I'd like to find a place where they can guarantee good pow... I'll keep you in mind if I find anything this winter....

Which brings me to another point, I'm not sure why you would want to take pot shots like this at someone as if you had any f***** clue what you're talking about. The only thing people like you know how to do is be sarcastic and negative because you havent any idea what self-reflection and individuation means.
Wow. Slow down dude. Not taking pot shots at anybody. All of the above is in my garage. I too am "missing" something. I think i may have a better f$&@ng clue than you about what you are dealing with.I am going through my 10th midlife crisis right now. But once you cured your depression that you deny you have, go see someone about anger management as well

Divorce your wife, let her clean you out and you will actually have to work for a living.
Why the heck should I go BACK to school??!!
I spent nearly all my childhood yearning to LEAVE!
I have never bern a good debater , and arguments normally ended up in fisticuffs. I have made a great living doing an honest day's work fit honest pay , it was hard on me physically but so what? I enjoyed it.

I find that I am far more at ease walking around in the bush or running the river in the boat , or simply sitting I'm the shade enjoying the afternoon with my good wife .
I had a lot of Hair raising experiences early in life and have no regrets , good or bad,
We can 't go back so we may as well go ahead- how we do just I'd up to every individual !

I had my mid-life crisis in my very early thirties. Wish I would have skipped the darned thing, if you aren't careful you will wish that also. Good luck. All the best.

Thumbs up

I'm not sure if you call it a midlife crisis or what, but I used to drink molson Canadian and lucky lager. Recently I've developed a taste for bud light. As far As the toys, quads, sleds, Sxs, bikes been there done that. I can honestly say that there is nothing I want or need. I go into a gun shop now and find factory rifles boring. I am content with where I'm at in life and still married to my still hot wife for 25 years.

No, I just made some bad decisions for awhile before I even realized it, never thought much because I was young. Look back on it & my advice to any guy that recognizes he's in it to try to tread lightly, he could save himself & his loved ones some needless torment.

There is no midlife crisis for men.

Middle aged men who quit trying to do better every day die very soon.

Look what happens to guys who retire. Deep Six within a year a year or two.

Look after your body and look after your mind.

didn't you say you don't have a wife? LOL. Be careful whose advice you take.
I haven't read all the responses. Have the "get rid of her!" guys shown up yet?
