I read it twice and both times the devil won. However, I am dyslexic so....I've read this 10 times and I still laugh!![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")

I ran across that machine and wasted $10.00 and still did not get an answer.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 82°F. Warm. Muggy. Expecting that cold front to move through and hopefully drop temps into the upper 70s.
We'll check back later. Behave.

Getting ready to head to work
Today is Rob’s Birthday...except we decided we don’t get another year older, we just level up
The kids are coming tonight to take him out to dinner. Wish us luck, there is a lot of tension and bad feelings going on now. Hopefully they’ll all behave for their Dad
Thinking about Rooster
Have a good day all.

Good Tuesday Morning D League
The man on the radio is saying we have a 50/50 chance of getting hammered today with hard rains. Starting about 10 o'clock AM. Our temperature is a nice 72° with the smell of rain coming from the Gulf. The high is expected to be in the mid 80's.
The coffee is extra good this morning and I am on way to get a refill. Trust all have a great day. (That ice cream cone looks mighty good) I would dip it in chocolate.

Plus, I had a pony, then a quarter horse, we hunted rabbits, squirrels, quail et.al. We played sand lot baseball, basketball on the courts outside of school. At night the neighborhood kids would play kick the can until our parents forced us in.In the event you wonder what kids did before Iphones and Ipads. Well they survived.
One busy life.
Morning D. Salutations from the shanty.

Happy Birthday Rob!

Picked a few avocados this morning. Should be ready to eat in a few days. Who needs Mexico

Good morning D League. Cool and rainy today, which may be the best of the mid-July options in the swamp on which Washington DC was built.
Got to the entrance at work and suddenly had this brief, intense wave sweep over me that I can only articulate as "I don't want to do this (bleep) anymore." Without my conscious brain being engaged, I actually took a step or two back toward the subway, then remembered my work responsibilities, the family, etc. etc.
It was a strange moment. I suspect there will be more and more of them until one day I just keep walking away. I saw it happen to a buddy a couple years ago who is younger than me. We were in an intense meeting and he just stood up and said, "This is as good a time as any to let you know I'm quitting," and went back to his office, rode out the two week's notice, and was gone. We talk all the time. He hasn't gone back to work, but says he's happier. The difference: He had one kid who was on her own and doing well, and his wife had a big-salary job.

Great story MdWildcat and it reminds me of how I announced my retirement. The first morning back from a week's vacation I went into my President's office and told him I wanted to talk to him. He said sure but before you get started I want you to know I retired this morning. Told the Director I was hanging it up. I started laughing then said, that is why I came in to see you. I am giving you my retirement notice right now. He said when are you leaving and I told him no for certain date set but soon. He said let's retire together. So we set a date for June 30, 2009 and walked out the door together that morning. And never looked back.
That's a terrific, and encouraging story, Sawnee.
My wife thinks I'll be a poor retiree because for the 34 years she's known me I've been an intense, tireless, and near workaholic worker. She may be right, but as I've tried to tell her, all my hard work was the labor of a lazy man who understood if I ever let up and relaxed for more than a one-week vacation taken with the kids each year, I'd never want to go back. (Plus, for many years I got to travel with my work and that kept it interesting enough.) I suspect that's true of many so-called workaholics.
My apologies FCC...I shoulda known when I asked for a salsa recipe....
Let's be honest here...I think that pertains to 4-5 of us everyday.

HBD to Rob & Sawnee!
All this talk about retirement makes me not wanna be here right now...plus the weather feels great...& golf...and
That defines me. I had a job with no clocks to punch. I had an office but did not work in the office most of my career 95% of my working years I worked out of my house. I would receive an assignment and literally hit the road. In my case I usually caught a plane. From my very first paying job as a teenage boy I never missed a single pay check until the day I retired.. Never was laid off for one minute and was able to do it my way. When I went in to retirement I had things to do and keep me active. I am not a person who could live in an apartment or a condo. I need room to breathe and get my hands dirty outside.
I think you will do just fine in retirement. You will find there are not enough hours in the day to get it all done.
Greetings to all. Happy bday to Rob and Sawnee. Prayers for Rooster and family.
I retired about 5 years ago then started back when my wife lost her job at Honeywell.
Salsa. We make 2 or 3 gallon at a time and the kids eat it very quick. Hungry teens.
I think about the D during the day and hope and pray that God continues to bless all of the fine folks gathered here. He knows. He sees./ It's a wonderful place. FCC.

RETIREMENT. It's great. C'mon boys and join the club. That includes you too, Don.
Your 60s are good years to be retired. You are still able physically and mentally to do pretty much anything you want to do. Wait until you are 70 and you'll find you can no longer do the things you wish you could do.

It's summertime, 5 o'clock and the mint is thriving as always. Can you actually kill mint? Time for refreshments. Mojitos!!
This man is bound and determined to dethrone Warrior Cat as the best bass fisherman in 20 states. We can't let that happen. No new equipment for him, make him continue to use that ole cane pole

I actually had a Lieutenant take us halfway to Knoxville, before realizing we weren't on our way back to Ashland.

First time I did it was in 1980. As I approached the plant I just watched it go by. Drove about a 100 miles and had lunch. Turned around and went towards home and met the guys at the bar after work.

We need to play golf someday. Name it.
Speaking of golf, where is Ben101er?
Now that my day is over I can say without any doubt that your decision to drive on by was better than my decision to turn around and go back, Ymmot.
I've had that feeling more than once.

Money is not right, will be in about 5 years. That will put me at 67.
