Sat out on the patio last night in the dark watching the fire in my chimenea . Got a new log splitter and put it to work . The temp in the 50's , a hoodie and a couple of beers to relax . đ

I was "retired" by the boss's son at 61 when he took over the business and decided that everyone over 40 was making too much money . I started SS at 62 and haven't wanted to go back . With our SS and 401K disbursement , we're debt free and comfortable , we planned for retirement , paying off everything . I'm still up at 6:30 and stay busy with a big garden , I do all the cooking , the Grand kids and keeping up with our Drs appts . Some days I wonder how did we have time to work . I don't get out to the garage and work on my models as often as I would like but that's going to change next year , I'm cutting out most of the gardening , just getting too old to be out there every day . I'm 74 and still in relatively good health , so , we're planning on taking a few trips here in the states , Route 66 , the Pacific Coast highway , train ride around the US , a cruise or two , just go out and have fun . You'll be surprised at what will be available when you have no schedule.

I'm amazed and grateful for all the work you guys put in keeping this thing up and running . đđđ -
Wife and I went to a local bar and gril with some friends to watch the Georgia game and one of the group , an avid hunter brought extra snacks . The owner of the bar knows everyone and we do this a lot . We had the usual bar jalapeno poppers , cheese sticks and loaded baked potato halves and mixed drinks , then they broth out the other snacks , bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and ground deer , fried cubed deer tenders , ground deer sliders , grilled duck breast medallions marinated in soy sauce and honey and about 20 fried quail . To say the least , we were stuffed and it was fantastic .

Hurricane Helene was a big nothing burger for us . After all the hype I was expecting at least a little rain . Folks due north of the storm caught heck , praying for them .

All y'all stay safe , we're expecting a little rain ( 1"-2" ) and 40 mph gusts .

Good luck and prayers , hope you're back better than ever . ?

Great looking truck , very creative on the bed sides , love it ! -
got up yesterday morning to a stopped up kitchen sink , did the usual and snaked out the line to the trunk , no bueno . Called our plumber and his truck is in the shop , trans issues , now waiting to hear from him to when he can come out . âšī¸ Still using the sink , large container catching the water , but just inconvenient .

Beautiful green eyes , belonged to my mother-in-law , we've had it so long , it's part of the family now . The wife moved it and I almost had a heart attack when I walked out to the den and saw it out of the corner of my eye . ?

What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
oldnslow replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I have a couple of pocket warmers , they look like giant lighters with decorative vents cut into the sides of the top . I guess you're supposed to light them , close the lid and put them in your pocket . I have this exact one . -
