Dam! Looks like According to the California Association of Realtors, December's statewide median home price was $717,930, up 2.7% from November and up 16.8% from December 2019. That means my little house at $450,000 is low income housing. That will buy a lot when I move to America!
Don't count on it Lou. I guess it depends on what you want and where, but we've found that $450K isn't buying us what we want in North Carolina. That said, our house would probably sell for around that and it's pretty nice. Which is part of the problem - it's hard to sell for $450K and then see how much less house we'll get for that. So much for my downsizing plan.

There may not be many changes from one year to the next, but the bikes have come leaps and bounds even since the "modern" era bikes were ushered in.
Yeah, that's the drum metric riders beat all the time - last Harley I rode was a POS that couldn't get out of it's own way and leaked oil. Then you find out it was a 1987 EG. They have come a looooong way with the bikes. A new one feels nothing like a bike even 10 years old.
Due to the nature of my job I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux on my work laptop

Linux is a neat system. I used Linux as the background program to run emulators on a RaspberryPi to play all my old NES and SNES games as well as Sega Genesis and some others. It looks like windows on that device, hook in a mouse and a keyboard for the DOS based console commands. I programmed it to auto boot into my emulator selection menu, so you hit the power and it boots into the games. It takes a console command to get back into the underlying OS. Cool stuff, but advanced.

Exactly. There's 9 years between my two bikes and they're worlds apart. Granted, apples and oranges, but the gist is there.

I hear you Bob. I can do pretty well in montana. I also have a 1/4 acre of commercial property that free and clear. That will help. At 475 I can find plenty of nice properties with a few acres and a shop. We might try to sell the commercial prop this year and buy a small rental in montana.
