I spent the day painting the basement wall.
One item checked off the to do list, about a million to go. I don't know how I got stuff like this done before I retired, of course then I didn't get up at 7:30, go to breakfast , come home read emails and follow 5-6 RV FB pages plus CDC.
Wait maybe that's what happens to all my time?
Hope everyone is safe from this weather and that the lakes clear up so I can spend untold dollars catching $5 worth of fish.
Ain't life great?
I stayed on dry land this weekend. Made a few planters from barrels and had the grandkids spend the night.
That's more fun than painting the basement. Today was exciting I blew leaves.
Sounds like you two need to load up the pontoon and go to Lake Monticello. It has loads of big perch and bass to be caught. It never gets muddy that I know of. I am thinking Tuesday next week for myself if all goes right. My leaves fall and blow into the neighbors yard and I don't have any painting to do. Nancy, just spent this week on vacation here in the middle of my six day break and kept me from deer hunting. But I did get get a steak one day this past week down in Sumter while visiting Shaw Air Force Base for a New ID for Nancy. All was not lost for me, she drove there and back. Going back to work tomorrow and it feels like I never left on break. LOL FUN Stuff always. :Rofl
Blew/racked leaves, worked on my truck some more and played in the boat some. Adding some stuff and cleaning it up some.
Hoping to get it wet Friday evening if momma says it's ok,
And wants to go. She's really getting into it. But may be to chilly for her.

One more year guys! ONE MORE YEAR!!!!!!!:pray
:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl Just wait for that "honey" what you plan on doing with all that time on your hands? You'll start looking for a job again! My wife can't stand me to be off on 6 day break now as it is. :bash
Clean the gutters and blew leaves out of the yard and mowed last time of the season
All that still needs doing at my house if you would like more to do...lol.
Gab thats what I thought too. Retired from NC education in December. By January wife had me driving to SC to double dip teaching and now I am doing a little real estate on the side. Busier in retirement than I ever was working. lol.
Yea. Been retired once. Went back to work
I know I will want something for a day or two
I Will cross that bridge when I get there though.
First week I fished 3 times, from then on there seems to be something gets in the way.
Going down Thur. for a few days on Lake Wateree, will see if anything is biting. Lake should be below flood stage by then. We are going to try.
yup that's when you really go to work. I don't see how inQuote:

Back in '09 the plant I worked for closed so I retired then. I was only 53 or so. I painted the house and all adjacent barns, retainer walls, etc. I removed all the trees in the front yard and did all the landscaping. I had a lot of work inside I wanted to do so that was done.Quote:

At 65 I have slowed. I think I can take life in a much slower lane. My intentions is to mow a few lawns a couple days a week to give me something to do and the extra spending money might be nice too. That'll leave me plenty of time to hunt, fish, and relax. And yea, I'm sure the Mrs will want me there with her to do things around the house as well as going places. At my age now I think I'm really starting to think I like the idea of retiring. And if it's STILL boring I'm sure I can have my old job (my current one now) back anytime I want it. Time will tell. I hope to fall into the ranks when I can say, "I don't see how in the world I did what I have to do now and still had time to work." HA!rotfl:Rofl:Rofl
sounds like a plan GBM hope you well with it. that was sort of my thinking but in my
74-75 and dang near 76th year things kinda started falling apart on top of all the work hear and wateree it seems like I cant catch up lol. hopefully by middle of January they will have me cut open patched up and put back together good enough to do a little fishin next spring. maybe can come down and fish with you a time or two, would love to do that sometime when you got an open seat.
Remus, I wish you well with your upcoming surgeries. Youre always welcome to come fish with me as I usually fish by myself. There's better fishermen than me to fish with though for sure. I really don't have a clue where to fish right now because I haven't fished that much. I'll probably go fishing a few more times before the first of the year though but for now I'm still chasing them deers. HA! Done got pretty picky too as my freezer is almost full. Still bow hunting 'em as I don't want to make it too easy now. It's still a long season until early January.
