Default Trying to get use to retired life :)

Well yesterday was my 1st day without a job.. OOPS sorry . I took a little nap so I could stay up most of the day. So I could get things finished up around the house. But that nevers works unless its Sunny and warm. But I did get something in motion and it wasn't the Monte or the Chevelle. Today is a busy day. Going to get the oil changed and maybe the coolant. Then I've got to get all my clothes ready for the trip out west. Also go on line and buy my Barrett-Jackson tickets for the Jan show in Phoenix. Meeting to old Harley Riders to go with. Got to do what I can today. Cause saturday is FOOTBALL all day and dinner with my family. Our youngest daughter is hosting Christmas Eve dinner at her home for the family. Sunday is an early day. I think were staying the nite there. So we can see our grandson open his gifts. Then head back 15 miles to see our two other gd Kids open theirs. And then dinner at my oldest daughters home. So busy weekend coming up. Monday is packing day. Like trying to stick and Elephant in the trunk of a Cobalt .. Plus taking down all our Christmas decor. Nothing like coming back in April or May and taking down the tree and everything that goes with it. Then off to bed. So we can get an early start 6am. Then our 1st stop will be in Emporia, Kansas. Then weather premitting off to New Mexico. Stopping at local HARLY shops while in route.I'm tired all ready just thinking about all this

Rick, all that sounds great. I battle the retired feeling every December when I get my annual lay off. I have had one week off and sometimes its hard. You have worked for it, so now enjoy it. I wish I could get to a Barrett Jackson event someday. Maybe I will. Do you get a bidders license or just watch?

Default tickets

On the tickets jerry. It all depends on the cheap suckers i hang around with . This event is huge in size alone. A lot of walking. I think were going to see if we can rent a golf cart. Plenty to see & do there. And its only 20 mins from me while in AZ.

Whenever I do retire, I'm gonna have to keep myself real busy to keep my sanity. Being unemployed absolutely drove me up the freaking wall. Even being at mom's for Thanksgiving with not much to do for a few days tested my sanity. I do not do well with idle time. Hopefully by then I have enough car projects to keep myself pretty busy if I don't have anything else to do.
