WELL, A LOVELY PARTING GIFT!

HELLO EVERYONE,

IT TURNS OUT THAT, WITH THE NEW INFORMATION FROM THE HR DEPARTMENT, THAT I HAVE TO HAVE MY VACATION ALL USED UP BEFORE THE 30TH. THAT MEANS IT HAS TO BE USED UP BY THE 29TH. SO INSTEAD OF TOMORROW BEING MY LAST DAY, IT'S TODAY!! WOOOOO HOOOOO!

I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK UNLOADED ON FRIDAY AND ALL SET AROUND IN THE SHOP. STILL DON'T HAVE MY NEW TOP BOX, AND, AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THINGS THERE IS A LOT TO PART WAYS WITH. I SOLD ALL MY 3/4" DRIVE AND UP STUFF TO ONE OF THE YOUNG GUYS AT WORK, THE REST WILL HAVE TO BE SORTED OUT AS I PUT THINGS AWAY. 

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I'VE SPENT 48 YEARS OF MY LIFE WORKING ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT. IT'S BEEN A GREAT JOB, ALWAYS MADE GOOD MONEY, LEARNED A LOT, MADE A LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS, DIDN'T INJURE MYSELF TO THE POINT OF SURGERY. ALL IN ALL PRETTY SUCCESSFUL.

THIS MAY BE THE LAST POST FOR AWHILE AS I GET SETTLED IN TO THE NEW RETIRED GIG, AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS FROM HOME INSTEAD OF THE WORK LAPTOP. STILL, I INTEND TO KEEP DOING THIS EVEN IF NO ONE IS READING IT. MOSTLY JUST FOR MY OWN SANITY!!

WELL, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

                                                      TALK TO YOU SOON,
