Welcome from Florida.
My wife and I passed “Medicare age” a decade ago.
She’s the farmer, I’m the hired hand. Will work for food.
Due to conditions beyond our control, Social Insecurity is our sole income, so I work in town three days a week.

I'm a lifelong Floridian. I don't "do" cold, snow, sleet, ice, zero temperatures.
In fact, when the Army sent me to Fort Carson, Colorado, in the shadow of Pikes Peak in 1968, one winter of going on field maneuvers was a definite life changer. Spending a week at a time sleeping in tents and everything else involved with field artillery in sub zero temps and deep snow, and doing this multiple times was enough for me.
I volunteered for Vietnam to get the heck out of there.
Oh, edited to add:
About the beer - I had to give that up almost 19 years ago. I'm a medical textbook description of a true alcoholic blackout drinker and become a different person when I drink. Dangerous.

Hello from Oklahoma.
Looked it up in my atlas... reminded me of a place near there. Every month or so I went to the mayo in Rochester for work. I saw the strangest tradition on night... too funny.
I was at the hotel bar and a bachelorette party stopped by for a drink. The bride-to-be, had on two cotton string necklaces. Tied every inch or so to the first one were pieces of bubble gum (in/wrapper). Tied every inch to the second one were tootsie pops.
To raise money the bride had to walk up to every guy in the bar and say 'a blow or a suck for a buck'. A friend or two were right beside her, making jokes, talking to everyone. It was funny! Those girls were a riot!!!
Anyway, she had no problem selling out then it was off to the next establishment.
Being a stranger i had to ask... The girls, other patrons, even bartender said it was a local tradition. So I bought one of each!!
And the signature line.
