Good morning!!!!

[JDgreen227]

Good morning. It's. Today is the first day of retirement! Going to play it by ear and see what my wife has planned for me. Have a great day.

CONGRATULATIONS !!! I jumped off the treadmill over 10 years ago and am so grateful I had the opportunity to retire at age 51...and now, I hate to rain on your parade-but the sooner you learn this sad truth, the less you will be disapppointed:

No doubt you will be expecting your days to be long and drawn out...sorry, that ain't true. My explanation is, when you are working Monday thru Friday drag along forever, and the weekends zip by. So when you are retired, you basically have six Saturdays and one Sunday for your week. Zip,zip, zip,zip,zip,zip,zip....that's the sound of your week in retirement passing by. Sorry if that hurts !!!

Enjoy the retirement. It took me nearly two years to figure a few things out. Now the only way I know it is Sunday is the paper is much thicker.

Wow. You still get a paper? I haven't read a physical paper in years. Get it all online. I don't miss all that paper to get rid of.

12-04-2012 Currently 49 degrees. High of 71 expected. The warm weather is bringing out the ticks. I found a small one on our inside dog yesterday. I thought that due to all the frosts that we have had, they would have killed most of them.

I had a tick on my hand after hunting Friday or Saturday. I figured I'd walked through a deer bedding area...
Maybe if they come out now, when it REALLY does get cold later this winter... Who knows...

Be well.

While driving home last night I saw 75 on the truck data display...

I'm gonna hunt the sunrise and feed the horses and go to work.

Be well all,
David

Coffee is in the cup. 56 degrees with light rain this morning. Heading to 57 with temperatures slowly dropping thought out the day. Off to my mothers today.
tru grit. Welcome to retirement. Been doing it for 8 years. No words of wisdom. Just enjoy.
Good Morning All.

it is right at 30 degrees this morning and heading to the mid 40’s today. Mossflowerwoods, are you seeing any deer. I also found some ticks the other day, but it has been cold enough here that it won’t be long and they will be gone for the season. I too have been out hunting and I guess you could call it sitting or walking as I have not seen a single buck while I had the gun in hand.

Good Morning. It's warm but my indoor outdoor electronic temperature gauge is on the blink even after new batteries and hitting the reset button.

Any suggestions on which new one to tell Santa I need for Christmas?

Yesterday the car temp gauge said it was 86˚. A cool front will be blowing in latter this afternoon, no rain, but the temp will stay in the 60s.

Paver section one, of the final three, will be complete today, a week ahead of schedule! The 1000 pavers are level, and compacted, and ready for the polymer sand!

Morning lads. If you can believe it, we're at 60 degrees here this morning!! Supposed to be at freezing by midnight. The ground isn't even frozen yet.

We hads ticks as thick as flies on a cow patty from March until about June, I put out Spectracide granules in the back yard area for about 100' of the house and sprayed the foundation with Ortho Max. I haven't seen a tick since. They were awful before that, both my wife and I got more than one. The deer use our side lot for a thoroughfare and I still haven't seen a tick in months.

I'll be day to day on here as it appears my brother is going downhill quickly and I need to take mom down there pretty soon.
