Just a warning Bruce...retirement is very hard. No paid holidays, no vacations, no coffee breaks, no commendations (in lieu of pay raise) and absolutely no prestige. You've been here and seen how rough I've got it! Sigh!Lessee now, shall I watch TV, have a beer or just take a snooze…?!?
:o
Here is yo, ending Day One of a 4-day slog dealing with the insane about the inane.
Have a cold one for me!
I can see this is going to take a toll on me. So far, I’ve had to mow the lawn, power wash the patio, repair joints in the patio, trim trees, and put down some mulch. I think there’s a bit of time to put down some ballast on the railroad.

Hmmm! Can’t help wondering if my enlightened prattle is being insulted? :o
Enlightened prattle? Here??? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Just keep in mind Bruce…a bad day at home is still a lot better than a good day at work…

I seem to be hearing a good bit of that lately.The idiot treehuggers who’ve been crying for years that gas is “too cheap”, don’t seem to realize that EVERYTHING in this country, the entire economy, is affected by fuel prices. The economy can’t take such a huge hit as we’re seeing, for very long.
On top of that, the government has stupidly encouraged the use of food crops for fuel, which is both inefficient and drives up the cost of food even further.
I think we’re going to see some very hard times ahead, unlike anything since the Great Depression.
I think you are correct Ray. But I pray you are wrong.
They can make fuel from garbage, but nobody is doing it yet.
This would take care of 2 problems.

Sorry to tell you this Bruce, but since I retired, I’ve had less time than ever for the railroad! And it has nothing to do with “Honey Do’s”. But I am pretty sure I can live with it! Much less stress! Much less!
