Default If money was no object...

Sitting here grumpy after a fairly annoying day and indulging in some fantasy.

If money was no object, what would you buy? Would you travel? Invest? Start your own business?

Me, I'd buy have a shiny new F350, a Beretta Xtreme A400, a Benelli SBEII, and as many acres of land as I could get my paws on and spend my days hunting and my evenings drinking beer. When there was nothing interesting in season, I'd sit on the back deck and watch my crops grow.

I feel better already

I've promised my buddy that if I were to win a big jackpot in the lottery (to where it would be like the thread title), I need to do a few things and then I would buy us a bus (think tour bus) and we would pick a week or two every month or so and we would just go hit a new string of breweries/bars, bringing back whatever we really enjoy for or almost nightly (since we wouldn't have to work anymore) deck nights. May even get some live bands to come by and play instead of just a great stereo system.

Of course, that would be after taking care of those I love and a group of friends/very close acquaintances. (And probably buying a small property or two in select locations.)

We obviously have the same intentions haha, besides the ford and the Beretta. I own a Chevy 2500 s definitely a chevy man. And I own a Beretta Extrema, but besides that probably new four wheelers, a brand new Chevy 2500, new bass boat, more guns, and then probably invest in more real estate.

I would buy a 10bbl brew house and open a smallish tap room/beer bar....

and of course do something crazy like this....
2013 HD CVO Breakout (MSP ~$27,000)


or this Sexy SOB
2013 HD CVO Electra Glide (MSRP almost ~$40,000)

Spend a year in Belgium, tour all the breweries, and work for free in any brewery that needed my assistance, hopefuly multiple breweries.

Oh man, there's so many things I'd do. Travel for sure, my wife and I both have many a plan for a long European vacation, plus there's so many things that're 'must see's' if cost isn't a concern.
I'd definitely fulfill our dream of owning a small brewpub. A nupgrade in house and property size would be a must, I'd have to have somewhere for the large aquariums, the bar/game room big enough to host the families on holidays, and enough land for a garage large enough for the cars and bikes. I can also think of several (hundred) homebrewing gadgets that I just have to have.

Ah, if only.......

I'd pay off the brewery's small debt and expand it into something really special.

Of course, after a while of brew traveling, I'd like to open my own brewery. Not necessarily to take on the big boys of craft brewing, but just to learn about it and be known for creating a really great brew. I could hire the best brewers around and hopefully learn enough that I could jump in and help when not on the road.

I'd take my pants off.

I would then never put them back on.
