I'm awake...working on coffee #1. Is it Friday yet? 

Retirement is good. I highly recommend it. CongratulationsEnjoying my first partial day of retirement. I went into work this morning to start my checkout and was done by 08:30. By 08:37 I had passed through the main gate and was on the freeway headed to my retirement freedom! It reminded me of my last days in the Army and the Marine Corps, never once looking back as I passed through the main gate on my way out. I wish I had thought to throw my old work boots on a power line or a streetlight, but I was more interested in getting the heck out of there! Screw you, Department of Defense! lol Too be fair, I did love my time as a Federal Employee when I was in the National Park Service. One of the best jobs I ever had. But these last 7 or so years with DOD can suck it! lol Now to take the rest of the year off while waiting to have my next total knee replacement surgery.re
Hope ypu sleep well after that.Another 28+ hour day.
Waiting for the crash.
