Thread: More Lathe Time - The Countdown!

Mind, I'm not counting, but
last day of employment in 6 weeks

6 weeks to the new boss takes over eh Susan has her list waiting and is adding to it constantly I am sure, then there is the boys list. Somewhere around age 65 you might get reprieve to do what you want.

Wednesday's could become a woodies day.

never ending and ever increasing list of things to do - trouble is that it is in 5 point and I can't read it

Wednesday's hmmm - I'll see if I can block them out in the calendar
Maybe 2nd Wed of the month?

i wouldnt count on having more shed time just yet, iretired 3 years ago and i reckon i got more time in the shed when i was working,takes a while to adjust to and i have worked out what is one of the biggest thing i miss and that is weekends, might sound stupid but as you will find out is that they were something you really looked forward to ,now that goal is not there anymore,just take it day by day and you will slowly get into a routine like you did when you started work.good luck with your retirement and have a good one .......bob

Yup
Sue reckons I need the exercise
She's just started eliminating real food from my diet

I am in a simiar boat.

I am in India working on the Commonwealth Games Broadcast. It is my last gig. I meet SWMBO on the way home and have 2 weeks in Malasia on holiday, then I move from Sydney to Jindabyne and retirement. Boy I'm looking forward to it even though I have to paint both houses during the move.

Good luck and I hope both of us enjoy ourselves.

No wonder you deleted the photo's I took at the GtG living proof.

Susan should be proud of you it was all healthy food she will of course have to come along to be convinced.

Enjoy the games - get some wood

Malaysia - now I'm jealous - careful of the illegally logged stuff
not sure I'd like the prospect of painting at both ends of a house swap
Jindabyne - would be a nice place to live - enjoy the finishing

and I'm quite happy to enjoy myself if you keep up your end of the bargain
