My backyard...

that has about the same effect on me as the farrah poster did back in the day.   I so want to end my days in a place like that.  give me a couple hundred acres that backs up to some forestry ground and I think I would be fine living in a 1 room shack.  spend my days hunting, fishing or just riding a horse through the mountains.

To clarify, I think your son and fiance live in Colorado? That's a picture of the Beartooth mountains in Montana, a place where I grew up and spent every summer fishing and backpacking. However, Colorado ain't too shabby either. :-)

When I was 12 I decided I was going to save my allowance and buy every single Elton John album. Started with Honky Chateau, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was 2nd. By the time I was 14 I had them all. Man I miss the days of album art and liner notes. Not long after, I discovered punk and new wave and let Elton go. It wasn't until recently that I began to appreciate again just what a genius he was in those days.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was the second album I ever purchased. Can't remember if it was lawn mowing money or snow shoveling. Then I discovered Led Zeppelin, the Stones, and the Who.

I was and am still into Lego.  "Bricks in Space" facebook group (rebuilding the space race in 1:110 scale) got me back into them.  It a dangerous rabbit hole though.  It can get quite expensive. 

Past that, I enjoyed growing and selling sweetcorn and fishing and I'm doing all that stuff.  I guess I never really grew up. 

I do miss snowmobiling from my later teenage years.  TN doesn't really have to many days that work for it.
