What did YOU do today?

The fix I did to the pellet gun yesterday worked good! That explains the air leak it's had for a couple years... nice to be the easiest thing for once...

So far tonight I got my poster of a friend posing shirtless against my other friends daughters square body chevy reinstalled in the shop, was a white elephant gift but too funny not to keep up, he even signed it! I love my stupid friends... Oh and I got the saw horses out of the shop, slowly gaining room from the pile... oh and put some new batteries in some Mag lights since a coworker gave me a bulk pack of D batteries, while there cleaned up the corrosion and put some dielectric grease on the spring.

First day back to work since the 4th of december. Put in leave requests from monday till the 5th of jan.

I am ready to retire. I really should take the early outs they just offered again but then i would have to find something else to fill my days because the jeep and bmw both fired up yesterday so i all i have left is cut the grass and i am out od pressing stuff till spring break.

I wish I had that problem, all my projects are just waiting on me... and I doubt my 401k is healthy enough... I'm sure I have at least a decade left of working, just hope the stress level goes down soon...

Remembered a little christmas present project I'd set aside for the wife so spent about an hour figuring that out tonight... we had 3 wood orchard ladders at our wedding we got cheap at an auction but they'd just been sitting, they weren't climbable when we got them 10 years ago, I burnt them this spring but I kept some of the parts... tonight I made a shelf out of 4 of the steps with brackets and side board... should be kinda neat, no idea where she'd put it but I think it will go over well... I mean I could be wrong, you never know...

fwiw

If you have the energy and your local public school system isn't a complete dumpster fire (or maybe if it is lol), I think people in that "retired but can still contribute" era should consider subbing. These kids need to be taught accountability and integrity desperately and 90% of public education and "educators" don't seem interested in that. I truly believe that outsiders with experience in the real world (most teachers have never held a real job) can help these kids more than they know. Something to think about.

Plus it's easy money and you take work when you feel like it.

School bus driving is another option.

Gotta love new crap...

Dropped my wife at the grocery store abd ran to bomgaars to get a nice sharp chisel. Get my stuff and get back in the car... and my wife has the fob.
