Not as amazing or sexy as some of the office views here, but I like it. Out of the west facing window on my left. It's not ours, but that's about 20 acres (ours stops at the fence). The folks that sold us the house had ~33.5 acres. They split off ~6 (ours) and kept the other 27.5.

Update from my previous pic, during construction.

Maverick's surf break is just under the moon on the other side of the point. Pillar Point Harbor in the other direction. Yeah, I'm livin' the dream.

A place Higgins might have visited. The Boeing hangars in Long Beach where they built the C-17's.

We duplicated a C-130....

I'm pretty sure that being retired, you no longer have an "office."

boob bar.

^4.5 years bartending^. mostly 18-25 and high rate of turn-over. Usually a pretty steady core, and then probably 15-25% that constantly rotate through. At least, that was my experience. Great scenery, and bartending is an OK job, but honestly, the work environment was crap. I didn't mind the loud music, but the heavy cigarette smoke sucked. But the worst part was that it's generally not a nice place, substance abuse is rampant for both employees and customers. The environment sucks people in, chews them up and spits them out. I referred to it as Satan's armpit. Still, beats the hell out of a low paying retail gig.

That's super cool! I was living next to the path for incoming flights, nearly 30 years ago. I used to ride my bike near the airport too. I could see the faces of passengers through my living room window as the planes came in to land.

Before I retired, I would look out my office window at locomotives and railcars. And disgruntled highly paid employees.
Now this is the view from my home office. No trains for 50 miles, or more. And no employees.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1617423137.JPG
