I'd head to Guanacaste Costa Rica, live in a shack by the sea. Be a deck hand on an offshore boat and learn the business. The goal would be to eventually own a 35'+ offshore for billfishing, and have a couple of Pangas for inshore - rooster fish and dorado.
Drink Porfidio Tequila and Imperial beer and eat fresh grilled tuna and dorado every day. Ceviche for breakfast.
Kayak fish in Potrero Bay on my days off, and work out the details of auto import into Costa Rica, there's some money to be made there. IN, as long as I could also have a place in manzanillo with a 35' ponga/twin 100's for tarpon and bluefin. You'd be my Caribbean connection for Tarpon referrals.

Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.
God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.

I would start a bbq business and build it from the ground up. In the evenings I would moon light as a photographer and take pics of hot women in my studio and post them on Wednesdays and call it the "humpday thread". With all my money I would travel to Utah and hunt baby bears. I would catch and eat succulent bass. I would search for big foot in my spare time and go to Lubys and make fun of olds until became one. I would fish Squaw creek and keep my head lights on while backing my boat. But, that's not how my life turned out, just have to accept it for what it is. In the evening you would still be at the bbq place, it ain't a bank It's a hypothetical, jeez. I'm pretty sure this guy would never ever do food again lol

I'd have about 500 acres in the Eagle Ford Shale in Karnes County with mineral rights and about 8 wells that produce... Big money mailbox checks.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

I'd bail smaller bails. Dad and I had a hay farm for years. Made good money at it but a lot of work. Fertilized coastal brought about $8/Bale back then. Square bails, about 60 pounds each. I was at Hobby Lobby with the then wife and saw little bitty 8-inch long "bails" tagged at $8.00 each! We were definitely doing something wrong.

MERCY - not receiving what you deserve GRACE - receiving what you don't deserve America's MESS = God's miracle fixes I'd rather walk with God with no questions answered than to walk thru life without Him and know the answers

Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

Mexico. Little place right on the Pacific. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific? They say it has no memory. That's where I'd like to finish out my life. A warm place with no memory. Open a little hotel right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat and fix it up like new. Take my guests out charter fishing. You know, a place like that, I'd need a man who can get things. red was here

I stick to my previously deleted post as the best plan.
