Yeah, I pulled Mids for a year and a half straight. I can relate.

If we've discussed what you did for retirement, I don't remember. Refresh my memory if you have told me, or tell me for the first time if you haven't.
And I've said this multiple times...9+years of morning watch with just a quarter break. It's wearing me down.

What I've done for retirement? Anything I want. Wife & I rode around the County for an hour today.
I'm sure you meant BE for retirement. I worked for the phone Co. for 32 years. The coolest job I had there was in the network management center. We remotely monitored all the digital switching for our Co. in the state of Va. 24/7/365.

Yes, I meant BE. You've been retired for several years IRRC. I'm also thinking you retired at what's considered an early age. I'm getting out at 57 no matter what. I can get out 2 months before my 56th b-day. I figure what's 14 more months? If my health is good, I'll stay until they kick me out. That's that much more full pay, as opposed to the way reduced retirement pay.

I retired 2 months before my 57th. The end of March '16 will be ten years.:wave4:
My wife retired the week after I did. It's been great! Now that we have the trike, she is riding again and we have MORE to look forward to.

I have a lot to look forward to myself. Even not retired....my wife will ride behind me now for the first time in our marriage. We only went out twice, but we had lots of fun both times. I know she's up for more this coming summer.

Almost time.
I was over on our other forum looking for the dates of UWC 2016. Couldn't find anything even with the search. Do you know when it will be? If it doesn't conflict with another event this year, I'm thinking of riding up there for a few days.

Usually hits on the last weekend of May, or first weekend of June. Best way to find out for sure is to call Mainland Ukes in Nashville, Indiana. Mike, the owner is the host. He's a great guy.

The wife allowed me to ride in tonight. I AM sick, but it's 60*, and it's not supposed to get below that. I didn't get any resistance when I told her I was riding, so away I went.
Nice ride too.

Today is the wife's birthday. The plan is for me to fix spaghetti sauce for a dinner this evening with members of the family. Also on the menu is cake and ice cream (of course). She asked for the remaining seasons of Grey's Anatomy on DVD that she doesn't already have. She got it.

Congratulate her on the b-day. Does that mean that now she has ALL 50 Shades of GREY ?

Actually if it matched the number of episodes in the first 11 seasons that are available, it would be 245 shades...:xzqxz:
Incidentally...I decided to save those for Christmas. Got her something more useful for the time being...a huge crock pot. One that's electronic.

Well, nobody around tonight.
I was able to ride again. The temps are so nice right now. I've now rode to work every month that I've owned it so far. I plan on turning it in to the dealership for winter storage before the first of the year, so that streak will stop. After all, I did pay for it in the maintenance plan, so I would be goofy not to use it.

Two days and no posts here. Better get it back up to the top of the page.ThumbUp
This is my last night working for about 3 weeks. I'm having gall bladder surgery on Wednesday. I'm a little nervous, but hope to have better health after it's removed. So maybe I'll see some of you day people for a little while.

We'll be thinking of you. Hope everything comes out O.K. :Angel: Lets us know how it went.
Are you sure you are not just doing this just to be off at Christmas?
Hope you recover soon... Nothing to be nervous about The Doctors doing Gall Bladder Surgery have it down to a science nowadays, So much so they can even do it while you wait...ThumbUp
Hang in there.....ThumbUpThumbUp

Heh. No comment.
epper:You're right. It went off without a hitch. I won't say I'm feeling no pain, but I will say I'm most likely going to go stir crazy if I stay off for the whole three weeks!

Glad to hear you're doing well! If it's paid sick leave, hold off as long as you can.
Glad you’re doing well Scott, first week is a little rough but it gets better fast after that.

Thanks!
I was doing so well today that went out looking at guns. I even got to shoot mine a few times at the gun shop to get a problem fixed. It even malfunctioned like it did when it screwed up on me the other day. Problem was fixed!
Tomorrow, I hope to get my Christmas shopping finished. We shall see.

Glad to hear you are doing well, Scott. I am on leave the next 2 weeks, heading out the door in just a few minutes to see if I can help reduce the deer population in my area. What gun were you shooting and what was the problem? I'll give a report later on my day and hopefully it will be a good one.

Ammo wasn't feeding into the chamber. Armorer said he had never seen the problem before. He changed out the only part he thought could be the problem, and it worked like a champ after that.

You can see problem and solution above. Just forgot to say that it was my glock 42 (.380). I'm kind of glad that it went in the shop, because it forced to carry my full sized glock 22 for the first time. It doesn't even feel like I'm carrying. I think I'll stick with it, and only carry the .380 if I'm dressed up or something.

Hello late nighters!
I'm here until the wife makes me go to bed.
I'm here until the wife makes me go to bed.
I'm up, getting ready to go hunting again. The wife and I went to see Point Break yesterday. Except for the name of the movie and the character names, this is a totally different movie and very entertaining. They could have named it something else and had the same results. Some really good action and stunt scenes along with some breathtaking scenery, worth going to see. Am still on vacation for another week, then back to work. Scott, I hope you are feeling better, you are probably ready to go back to work, I know that after my shoulder surgery and 2 weeks at home I was stir crazy.

Feeling much better. Truthfully, I only felt bad right after I woke up after the surgery, for about 2 hours. You're right about the stir crazy part. The only reason I'm not asking the doc to let me go back to work is, my wife is having a hard time dealing with the holidays, this being the first without her dad.
Truth be told, I'm having a hard time dealing with it myself.
