Good Morning!!!! 46 F back in Orcutt, CA. Areas of fog early, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High 63F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.
Got just a few drops of rain as I was unloading here late yesterday afternoon, and if the weather guessers are to be believed, more on the way Friday and through the weekend.
Was wondering how others in retirement are doing. This is my 20th year of retirement.
This will be my 14th year. Just a whipper snapper compared to a lot of you here!
Yesterday, most of which was spent driving, I still managed just shy of 3000 steps. Sunday it was almost twice that, peaking Saturday at 6,665. All this frenetic activity is due to the move. Fourteen years ago I don't think there was such a thing as cell phones with health monitoring apps to count footsteps, but I was probably active at about the same level, if only from the long walks to and from the company parking lot.
Which reminds me, I tried to charge the Apple Watch my friend and I found in Kernville, but it did not respond. And it's old enough it's not worth fixing, though it might be fun to take apart if/when I ever have time to waste.
Good to have you back, Buppies. Best wishes for a rapid recovery!
Looks like you got a pretty good deal, David! If I had it to do over again, I'd probably have Dewalt battery powered tools. But with so many Makita tools already, changing now just isn't practical. And for the most part, they do everything I ask of them.
Yep, Makita = turquoise. I still love my Bosch angle grinder and hammer drill, both 120VAC powered.
Pretty smooth trip south yesterday, but did make a few more stops to check the load and tighten the ratchet straps, which had worked looser than I like the first few times I checked. Took fewer iterations to get the trailer backed up the driveway, but I still have trouble keeping track of which way to turn the steering wheel, especially after nine hours of sitting behind it.
More unloading and unpacking on the agenda today. But first I have to find a new insurance provider for the van and Camry, as Farmers has decided not to sell insurance in California anymore. Any recommendations?
And I need to update credit card info for the automatic payments, and might as well change my address, too. That should keep my butt in a chair for most of the morning.
