Default Great place to eat, or meet

Wild Fin America.

Heard about this place on the Corvette forum.

After we visited with my mom today, we went there for lunch. Karen had a cheeseburger, and I had the New Orleans Fettuccine. Both were excellent. We ate in the bar, and since they have a brunch on both Saturday and Sunday, the waitress brought us out a couple deviled eggs. Even better than mom used to make.

So if you are in the Issaquah area give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

S.Back, I was foolish enough to suggest that a GT40 buyer in here should at least consider a Corvette.... I may need backup !!!

John, I'm still in shock over your statement on another thread that you plan to sell your Cobra when you retire. I'm calling BS on that! How could you? I bought my Cobra FOR Retirement. What am I missing?

When I retire we are going to sell the house and buy a diesel pusher motorcoach. I will buy a car/truck/suv at that time that I can just flat tow behind the coach.

Neither Karen or myself want a house to tie us down. Eventually we may settle down someplace, but it's going to be a few years.

Sounds like a great plan John. I highly recommend retirement. It's awesome.

I am not ready to full time...can't imagine I would..but I do spend extended time (6 months to more than a year) on the road on occasion . I have pretty much owned all the various combinations from campers to trailers and I have found that, for me, a motorhome with a jeep wrangler ( I both flat tow and trailer) is the best combination. That jeep is great fun in the forests, beaches, deserts, ski areas etc...and yes, in the mega cities like LA. I have a soft top and it is warm enough and cool enough (air) to be comfortable, and it has enough performance to pull boats or bike trailers or whatever at highway speeds. They are easy to drive in heavy traffic and you can park them damn near any where. My unsolicited advice would be to keep a home (current home or other) till you are sure you don't want one. I didn't think anything could be more fun than working, but having been retired for nearly 20 years...well...if you have sufficient, wealth and sufficient health and energy and you are curious about the world...it is a great reward. You will love it.

The problem with keeping the current home is we truly hate it here. I don't know what I hate worse, the weather or the traffic. Regardless, the day I retire will be the last day we live here.

And in regard to buying another place somewhere else. We don't know where that will be. It will be somewhere with nice weather and on the west side of the Rockies. Don't want to put up with high humidity either.

So we will travel until we find the place we want to settle down at, and then buy a place there.
