Honey, I'm home. . .for good!

[Thomas]

"Where you been Thomas??"
Hellooo Egon.
Seems like the last 10 months I've been just about everywhere but no mileage...Mrs. had nasty health problem.

Hope your still taking those wonderful pictures and kicking back relaxing by the candle light.

 

[Thomas]

Helloooo Bird.
Darn it's good to see your still sharing your wisdom,and I hope health has been good to you.

"even if you have been missing in action for nearly a year."
Had to put the apron on you might say,for the Mrs. just getting over nasty health issue.

Hope your getting out doing some traveling also wetting the fish line...I'll do little dance and send down some cooler temps for you folks.

Thanks for the good wishes, Thomas. My retirement must be pretty powerful stuff to get you to post. I surely hope everything is going well for you and the coffee is fresh.

Don (TBDonnelly) I can't just go plant a garden I have to find a whole new location for it. I have two possibilities and can't make up my mind.

Don (txdon) Would you call that the TTRA? We could pronounce it the "tea-tray" club and sound like we have some class instead of being a bunch of ol' geezers sitting around talking about what part of our body hurts. I am taking your advice today. I got home at 3 pm and started to go out and do some more dirt work. Then I decided I wouldn't get much done in two hours except get all hot and sweaty before taking Kathy out to dinner tonight. I'll finish that job later. I have plenty of time.

JIM,
Congrats,I really enjoyed the story about how you went about it.Almost like a JOHNNY PAYCHECK song Speaking of which,a friend of mine recently quit our company.Had a few beers and got on the radio "...mill to base.""Go ahead"they answerd"Take this job and ...... it,i aint workin here no more...." he proceeded to sing most of the song. Pretty funny. Well anyhow the most important thing is to have fun.By the way im jealous

Heck Jim, I thought you had THE nest on the ground....

I'm glad you got to retire. As you know I act like I'm retired. Right now I'm building an all eastern red cedar pergola not too far from the house. It's a one of a kind.

We'll have to get together. If you need any tomatoes our cup runneth over, and over, and over.

Jim
Congratulations, that has got to be a good feeling. I am looking forward to it myself in a few years.

Harv, you are going to put pictures of your pergola up in "Projects" aren't you?
