71 and overcast right now...maybe some showers today, then clearing and a high of 83 predicted.

Well, I did get one of the contract QE positions I'd interviewed for. Job starts next Tuesday (the 4th of Sept.) and lasts 3-6 months.
This should carry us into 2013....which is good.

AWESOME NEWS Roy!

We BOTH go back to work on the same day!

Persistance and an appetite for beer fueled the search...
Thanks to both you and David (MossflowerWoods) for the kind words.

Great news on the job Roy, it is tough out there.
Guess that beer was a great motivator. :drink: :drink: :drink: :number1:

Mix of cloud and sun with a high around 70. Got the log slab pile down a lot yesterday, will do some more today but my back is feeling all that bending over.

Well I just had a close call. Was out getting some exercise and just generally enjoying the morning when I noticed some insects buzzing around me. I looked down and about 2 feet in front of me was a ground nest of bees. I think they were yellow jackets but didn't hang around to fine out for sure. Glad I found it while walking and not when I was on the tractor or lawn tractor. I'll go back this evening with some spray and take care of them. Be careful out there guys as you never know what you'll run into!

Now my feelings are hurt, Roy didn't read my post! :melodramatic::melodramatic:

It's so easy for us retired guys like you and I to congratulate others on their new jobs, promotions, pay raises, etc. while we are secretly telling ourselves we did the right thing to jump off the treadmill when we did.

And BTW, Roy isn't a tough old guy...he is a grumpy, opinionated, biased, narrow minded OLD FART.

Congratulations. This comes from the "Bottom of My Heart". Best wishes.

08-28-2012 Late post today. I started mowing at 8:30am and got done at around 4:00pm. It is currently 95 degrees. It was much cooler when I started.

My grandfather retired at 62, back when that was uncommon. My dad retired at 51, I, the underachiever, retired at 53. There isn't anybody in my family telling me I should have worked longer, actually, quite the opposite. I've thought about going back, I have had opportunities, but I just can't talk myself into it.

My deepest and most heartfelt apologies, Bro!!

And that is the latest update from our resident expert grumpy, opinionated, biased, narrow-minded OLD FART Bill!

At least he is qualified to judge, as the current world record holder of GOBNMOF's

Grandpa on my dad's side passed away early at 52, My great grandpa at 49, my dad at 69 after being retired 5 years...the guys in my family history don't have much luck at living to old age so when I had the chance to bail out at age 51 I took the offer. Still happy I took the jump almost 10 years later.

My deepest and most heartfelt apologies, Bro!!

Seriously, glad you got the job.

Good morning guys!

Sorry for my long absence, I hope everybody has been well.

It's an awful day here, rainy cloudy and cold!

I can only hope for improvement.

59 degrees and dark (not too surprising, that). A high of 80 is predicted...looks to be a nice day!
Heading to Vermont this morning...spend a few days with my wife's kin, a job interview and house hunting.

 

[MossflowerWoods]

67 and clear here. I've got to prep the "lake house" I have a new tenant moving in this weekend so I've got to mow, edge, clean up the burn pile, etc. plus there is a little repair where a door knob hit the wall.

Be well all!
David

Coffee for today is almost gone. 64 degrees with some sun this morning. Heading to 84 with low humidity. Enjoying our stay in Indianapolis. Taking friends on a tour of Indy 500 Speedway. Hope I get out of here before fuel hits $5 gallon. :thumbdown:
Congrats's Roy.
Good Morning All.
