The family wagon wheels, the wildlife and the plants really came together to define the country living we enjoy out here. Thanks all, especially Harvey, Glenda, Bobby and Mike!

Mike, this morning was the perfect retirement morning - 68, cool dry wind from the north. It makes working outside a pleasure, unlike those August muggy hot mornings that turn into 100+ days that I would have considered working in a nice AC building.

Don, the gate looks awesome! I'm jealous.
A coolfront this far south in Sept is a luxury.

Yeah Mikim, unfortunately working in the mfg industry hasn't been very prosperous for many...so I probably will have to work another 30 years. I will tell you this, I've been punching a time card since 1975.
