Well, contrary to what many people thought 31 years ago (including myself), I actually made it to my retirement day! In about 3.5 hours, I'll be out of here! I have to "look" busy until 10:00 a.m., at which time a reception begins. I guess a number of people will get one last shot at me...

Well, Spencer showed up in Janesville today to do a little work in a new Taco Bell. He gave me a call, and we were able to get together for dinner. He was just here for today, and headed for Kansas right after we ate. Here's a picture of the Taco Bell where he spent a good part of his day on...

Well, it was going to happen eventually, and the time came today. What with our "downsizing" in preparation for my upcoming retirement, we've been getting rid of many items that we don't want any longer, or don't have room for in our storage locker or motorhome. Unfortunately, we couldn't...

I'm preparing to put my house up for sale. Last fall, I discovered that my 30 year shingles that were in the house specifications when we built it are in fact only 15 year shingles. And we are in the 16th year of living in the house. The builder has long been out of business, but ironically...

Sometime this summer, I'm going to need to get some furniture moved from my home here in Wisconsin out to my son's place in Fallon, Nevada. Originally I just figured that I'd rent a U-haul trailer and haul it out there myself. After all, I'll be retired and should have the time to do it...

We're in the process of getting ready to begin traveling once I retire. In order to stay in touch with TBN and friends and family via e-mail, we're planning on trading in our PC and getting a laptop. I realize that virtually all laptops now come with a WI-FI card/chip already installed. I'm...

Anybody going to this show? It's at the Rosemont Convention Center January 12 - 16, 2005. My wife and I are coming down on Saturday, the 15th. We're mainly coming down to check out the RV's. I haven't found any tractor related exhibits, but they will have RTV's, ATV's, etc. I figure since...

Well, it's that time when everybody is trying to figure out what to get each other for Christmas. I think everybody has one or two people that can be hard to buy for. Well, maybe I can solve your problem. While visiting a different discussion forum, I came across the Cheesy Light website...

Hey, I just noticed the neat little graphic at the top left of the page by the TBN banner. Geesh, I hope that hasn't been there for a couple of days. Of course, if it has been, I haven't noticed it before now because of how busy I've been reviewing posts. That's my story and I'm sticking to...

Most of you guys know that I'll be retiring next year. Actually, in 268 days, but who's counting, right? The wife and I are still debating on whether we want to stick around in this neck of the woods, or consider relocating. As we continue to do more and more research, that relocation thing...

meetings-ML-474936-ML- New forum for meetings/get-togethers.

Time For Another \"Where Are They Now?\" A comment by another TBN'er in a different thread made think that it's time to go looking for some regular contributors that have become less than regular. Every so often, someone asks about whether anyone knows if so-and-so is around, or what are they...

HELPPPPP!!!!!! We just got a new computer, and I can't get the screen to look normal. It only covers half of the monitor. Here's a link to it if this will help you understand what's going on Half Screen I know I need to adjust some settings, but I can't figure out which ones. I'll bet...

I had one of those experiences today that nobody wants to have. I was heading out to pick up a consultant that we had hired to assist with a recruitment for a new Police Chief. I was driving one of our City cars, and as I came around a curve going about 25 mph (it was a 30 mph zone), a big...

When I go to read a thread that shows a new reply (the yellow diamond sign), and it doesn't seem to matter which forum it is in, and I leave the thread after reading it, I've noticed that the thread still shows the new reply. At first I figured that someone had posted a reply while I was...
