Thread: Work is no fun!

Back home and this second day of work is brutal.
I know I cannot retire yet and no Circus to run away to. (Haywire humor)

It was nice to see some of you again during my two weeks there. (though I spent less time on the pier than I usually do)
It is nice to stop by once or twice a year and find friends.
Planned to get back to the pier for a couple of full days last week to say good bye but the rains changed my plans.
The reports for the pier were not so good so I had to try the beach at GS Plantation where I stayed and Fort Morgan.
Also hit the golf course.

Last Friday morning rains were some of the worst I have ever seen.

Apologies for not getting to say hi again and bye to Slim, Stephanie, Robert, Haywire, and Max. (and I am sure more)
I hope to see you again.

Mike

Be careful what you wish for, Mike. The first time I ran away to the circus, they gave me a shovel and pointed me toward the elephant tent. I went in the front, sniffed, went out the back and kept going. I left the shovel.
The next time, they let me sleep in an old trailer (I think the baboon died there) and the next morning when I woke up, the rest of the circus was gone---just my broken down trailer in an empty lot. I took the hint---but I still have certain feelings toward the tattooed lady. You should have seen her---never mind, I promised I wouldn't tell.

I try and have fun at work, and do most of the time.....retirement for me might have come to early.....I still enjoy working ......sure would like being closer though.....miss the salt water fishing and friends


Did you bring the puppy this trip?

I have a plan! I'll be 65 next year and I own my own business. I'm already making plans to wind down my business, setting May 31, 2018 as the cut-off date. After that, if we haven't sold the business outright, we'll liquidate the assets, sell our properties (residence/business) and make the move (Foley/Orange Beach) next summer. Having a plan makes work more bearable, with each day bringing me closer to spending most mornings on the pier watching the sun rise and catching fish.

On a related note, I'm also getting in better physical shape, walking a couple of miles every day and watching what I eat, so that maybe I'll get a few extra days doing what I love to do! I have a plan!

Bob Denver was Gilligan...John Denver talked to God. FWIW...
