60+ year old thread.

Susan, isn't that Jim something, rubbing it in to us still working bums!?

 

Afternoon all...I'm like Sue,gave up on fishing, got tired of coming home empty handed...now I swim with the fishonly in the Caribean(wife don't like the cold water) Plenty of fish under the surface that we never see...

 

No, that's Tom I could quit... but then no grand kid vacations, so

 

Hi Paul, I still work so we can travel like we do and enjoy life...lookin' at 2 more years and then I'll join the ranks of the S.S.(Social Security) crowd...weekends are too short...should be at least 4 days long, give us some time to rest up before going back to work...Ken

 

Morning All, Back to the grills...

 

morning all: love those lazy days. should have more of them, but then there's those "DO IT LISTS" that keep getting longer, and longer.
lets see: gotta get ready for shad fishing, gotta get ready for walleyes, gotta get ready for spring turkey, gotta clean up the "66"'. then gotta go for all these critters, and maby go to a cruise or two. darn, this being on pension is "TOUGH"
notice I mentioned only the "priorities" that come first on the list!
hope not too many young'uns read this, they may never take their pension when they realize how tough it really is!

 

Yes sometime you look at the list and sat F It. Sun. was read the paper and a afternoon nap. Mon slept till 10 AM then to a pal's pool with the young dog for 3 hr's of swimming and home for a afternoon nap. Today is back on the grills but Im going slow as I dont want to over work myself. Might also do a afternoon nap today as they are something I worked 46 year's for,,, Jim

 

LOL

Jim I think you are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. I just do not see you as not being busy.

 

Most time I am buzy but got a case of overload, Tho other half has like 10 things for me to do but she forgets Im on MY time. Now if she come's up with the big beans, Ill get off my ass, or NOT Jim

 

Same for us, we like to travel a bit, see new places, go out to dinner, etc. We were both victims of the economy, but we both bounced back.

 

Hi Paul, the economy hit just about everyone, we were fortunate enough to be okay job wise and even though we got hit in the savings department we are doing okay...maybe i shoulda gone into politics cause they seem to be the only ones the economy didn't hurt...Ken

 

Honey Do list...I stopped working on that 9 years ago. If it needs attention, I will fix it otherwise "tomorrow looks like a good day to tackle that Job"...Ken

 

I do a lot of stuff around the house but draw the line at, plant this,, move that,, trim this,, Mr greenjeans Im not, Hate yard work but the other half thinks Im a garden man now,,Been around long enough to know, only way to stop this is never start... Jim

 

Totally agree Jim, when I had to take care of the yard work in the old house, my motto was if it's green it get's mowed...wife didn't like to weed so when the flower bed got over run, it got mowed. Easier sittin on the tractor than bending over weeding...Ken

 

evening all: just relaxing, sort of !

 

Hi All

 

Hi Jim

I am just finishing up lunch. In the middle of cleaning out both sheds. Getting a few ideas on how I want to set up the old shed.

 

afternoon all: been riding around all morning: ON THE LAWNMOWER
4 days of rain coming, would have been too wet to mow, then the week of shad fishing. if I wouldn't have done it now, I'd have ended up with some very high grass to cut.

 

afternoon gang...

 

Afternoon All.........Ken
