60+ year old thread.

Hey Zach long time not hearing from you...Hey not all us "old Folks" are retired yet...still work 40 plus hours a week doing mechanical work...1 year, 10 months and 25 days then I'll be retired... Tell your Pop I wish him good luck and a long and happy retirement Ken

 

Enjoy it Fred...I'm looking forward to retirement so I can golf more and enjoy the easy life...have to figure out if I can do it before 66 yrs. old.

 

Evening all:
What's that old saying; life has it's ups and downs. Just seems as we get older there's more downs.
Look what happened at Pocono yesterday, I'm sure no one expects to get killed by lightening while attending a race.

Fred: Glad you got to see some elk, and thanks for sharing.

Ken: Time for another short timers calendar !!!!!!!

 

FTW!

 

I am in that 66 year old group too. I will be 64 next March. Planning on trying to make it to 65. The worst thing about working is no matter how good a job you do, how dependable you are, no one gives shit.

 

afternoon all

Morning all . Happy hump day......

 

Morning all: Ugg! grass is growing again, time to mow!
Hey Zach!
60' X 100' "MAY" be big enough! Of course you can always add on......!

 

I need to go get gas for my lawn mower, but I'm :tired:

afternoon....

 

My brother-in-law lives a couple of miles north of Santa Fe. He draws his water from a well 300 feet down. There were things I liked about New Mexico and things I didn't. The clear air and beautiful sunrises and sunsets were awesome. I am a water person though and missed that. What you call a river is barely a trickle here.

 

I like my grass!!! Don't wanna look at dirt.

My dogs no likey rocks... they are tender footed and the rocks hurt their tootsies

 

Evening all:
I'm beginning to hate grass! Yesterday, mowing; today, trimming.

 

I might hate the cutting/edging but I still like having grass (Just like I might complain about raking leaves in the fall - but I won't cut down my trees)

As long as you are happy with your choice, that's all that matters. I usually enjoy the yard work - as long as it's not 95* with 100% humidity That's when I usually dislike it, but... I usually enjoy the yard work when the temp is a more comfortable temp outside.

 

Morning All...TGIF...all that talk about cutting grass and trimming made me tired...is it nap time yet??? Everyone have a good day and weekend. Ken

 

morning. going to get some more camping stuff out. going next weekend. want to look over all the gear. have not used any of it in prob 5+ years. mine and my friends buddy is coming in from KS for the weekend and bringing 2 friends with him. they have never been camping, so we and my friend are taking them. going to load the truck up with fire wood and everything. should be a fun time.

 

TGIF!!! Have a great day everyone.

Have fun camping Zach

 

Zach:
Here in Maryland it is against the law to take firewood from one county to another. This is an attempt to stop the Emerald Ash Borer from spreading. We now have confirmed accounts of the insect in our sity. We have over 7000 ash trees in the city and are working on the funding to replace them.

The Ash Borer was spread from southern Maryland into western Maryland by firewood taken to a camp site.

Here is a link about the insect in Maryland.
