I was going to retire at 62 but then things changed. In November the owners of the company asked me to step into their office. They asked me to stay on as the IT Manager. I told them I would be willing to do that but I was tired of coming in every day and I would only be interested in continuing if I could work from home for the most part. I would come in only when needed or called on. So far I have had to go in most days with only a few days that I have been able to work from home. But I feel that will transition to more days at home as things settle down.
Afternoon Walk
Jo and I were walking this afternoon. 2.89 miles and its about 72 degrees. It took about 1 hour.
End to a great day.
Had a great sunset
Christmas Is Almost Here
Walked 1.7 miles this afternoon. Its about 66 degrees and clear blue sky’s. Stopped and talked to Shirley Crosby while walking. Back to working on the new router for the network.
First Day of Fall 2019
The first day of fall here in central Texas. Its around 50 degrees at 9 am and we have had about 3/4 of a inch of rain today. I have been waiting for this for a few weeks now.
Morning Walk
My wife and I on our morning walk 2.1 miles this morning. I will be doing this a lot more in a few months.
New Dentures
Come Sept. 23rd I will be getting the rest of my lower teeth removed and some implants installed. I will have to wait for around three months to have the dentures put in. This is to give the implants time to grow into the jawbone. So far its worked out well with my uppers that I have. What I am not looking forward to is the three months of not being able to chew. In the long run though it will work out better than replacing one tooth at a time. They say it will help reduce bone lose in the jaw.
My Garden
Started my garden again this year. I had to put up a fence to keep the deer and rabbits out but with that done its up and growing.
GAME OF THRONES
Been waiting for this for over a year. I hope it lives up to the hype! I would also like for George R.R. Martin to get off his ass and finish the book.
Well the update is not that good. I did not like the ending. The last six episodes were good but not what the hype was led us to believe. Oh well I guess I can always hope George will live long enough to finish the books.
A New Year
The year is starting out like any other, people are going about their day, some good some not so good. Its the way of life and how you choose to look at it will determine what it will be like.
A lot of people around the world will not have a choice about the direction of their lives. We still live in a world that has a lot of evil in it. In evil I mean that a lot of countries are ruled by men that don’t respect a persons right to freedom and choice. They want to control what men do so that they can make themselves more richer and powerful.
I live in a country that for the time respects freedom. Its one of our founding principles. But the government in its lack of wisdom is slowly striping those freedoms away in the guise of security, or for the betterment of the people it is suppose to serve.
But for now I am able to provide for my family and enjoy my life. I will try to do what I can to help others as the year unfolds. I will do my best to treat others as I would like to be treated. I wish everyone a happy new year and hope that its a prosperous one. Show kindness to others when you can. Have courage to change the things you can ,
serenity to accept the things you cannot change and may you have the wisdom to know the difference.
Happy new year to all….
