Today's recommendation is a whole series of books by John D MacDonald the Travis McGee series https://www.goodreads.com/series/52264-travis-mcgee. I learned about Travis McGee from Mike Rowe. Mike discussed the books in his podcast about how Travis took his retirement a little at a time he would work a big job then retire for a few months before he starts the next one. Mike Rowe decided that he would live this same way big jobs that make good money then retire between them. I enjoyed the 5 or 6 books that I have read in the Travis McGee series. If you enjoy a good crime drama you should enjoy this series. #grownostr #bookstr #travisMcGee

My grandfather carried a pair of these pliers almost everyday these can't fix everything but you would be amazed how much they can fix. I now have multiple pairs stashed all over the place. #grownostr #tooltip #farmerfixes

The older I get the more I think I want time freedom instead of financial freedom. To do what I want when I want. I negotiated more time off instead of a raise with my boss. 3 weeks vacation plus holidays gives me that needed time off to not be burned out. #grownostr #timefreedom #fiatmines

Today’s recommendation is an old John Wayne movie called Hellfighters.

Hellfighters (film) - Wikipedia

My dad was a volunteer firefighter so I have seen almost every firefighting movie there is. I have watch Hellfighters multiple times as it was one of the Sunday afternoon movies that came on a local television station. I just thought it was a good movie until one day I read an article about Red Adair

Red Adair - Wikipedia

and found out that the person that John Wayne was portraying was based on a real person. This led me down a rabbit hole to find out more about Red Adair. I found the book Red Adair: An American Hero

Goodreads

Red Adair: An American Hero - the Authorized Biography

Red Adair is now a multimillionaire, but he has worked …

I really enjoyed this book and Red was a very interesting person. #bookstr #grownostr #hellfighters #movies #johnwayne

Remember the days when all phone calls were made on copper lines and it was easy to trouble shoot. Now with VOIP there are so many variables it takes multiple engineers to review the problem. #grownostr #PTSN #ITlife #fiatmines
