Ordered three pounds of Top Sirloin steak from Costco through Instacart. Only item in my order. This is what arrived. I don't even...

That’s a lot less than 3 pounds too

Had a great day “sledding” on a boogie board, building snowmen, and just playing outside. So fun.

Yea... and the computers didn't crash when the clock struck 2000.  

A couple of us were in the office manning the servers and nothing happened, almost disappointed

Looks like I've been designated to help run the committee for our town music association's golf scramble this May. I've played in a bunch, but never helped run one, LOL! Thankfully one of the other parents has helped organize a few scrambles in the past, so we've got him to help out. Fingers crossed we raise some decent money for our scholarship fund, fundraising has been decimated due to COVID. Only downer is now that I'm helping out and I can't play in it  We used to have an annual event years ago, it's been probably 7-8 years since we last held one and all the parents that organized/ran that one are long gone.

My freaking puppy is crazy. Came home from work yesterday puppy was out of the enclosure I have in my house so she can eat, drink, and go potty. This little thing found out how to ascend the fencing and get out, caught her red handed today while I put her in there so I could go do something without stepping on her. Not only is she super bold and highly confident she is a Houdini as well. No point putting her in there tonight or tomorrow night if she is just going to escape. Now I have to find a netting or something to put on top of is so she stays put. If I let her out when I work dayshifts my big dogs will eat her food and puppies need to eat multiple meals a day. Nights it isn't a big deal I'll just put the child gate up to limit her from peeing where I have carpet since she doesn't need to eat at night. Dang dogs I need to contact the breeder he did something wrong I was definitely not expecting this level of drive when I had this litter of puppies.

When I started working back in 1970, there was a guy in my group that counted the days to retirement.  I remember it was over 2000.     I wonder if he made it.

Sore subject... Our Sales assistant has a count on her white board to retirement. Evey day I get to hear how many work days she has left.  And she has THREE YEARS to go.

Kinda like the guys in the Navy with a Short timers rope clipped to a belt look--- Used to burn off a little more each day--- Drove officers and lifers crazy---- Knew one guy that could not wait to get out. Ran into him 6 months or so later when I was getting out myself. He had re enlisted said the economy was bad and he had a hard time getting a job. In those days there was a lot of bias against Vietnam era vets. He was a slacker anyhow because I had no trouble finding a job

Well last year I was counting down the days to my retirement April 1st. I had already cut back on my hours because I could only make so much at 63 years old. April 1st was my first official day. Like an idiot I agreed to work for the company 2 days a week. April 29 I got hurt and I had just started to enjoy my retirement. We had a mild winter so I was playing 3 to 5 times a week and loving it. But I am healing up and looking forward to warm weather. I am not pushing it too much in the cold and wet weather

Don't push it, March is right around the corner. The courses and the weather start getting good in March down your way.

3 years countdown! That would drive me crazy counting down everyday. Like watching a click move.
I gave a 2 years notice for my retirement but that was so they had time to come up with replacement (s). Ended up adding 2 people.

Time to enjoy yourself, and stay off ladders.

Winter in Nebraska...kids are getting more TV time than normal.  You know it’s bad when your 3-year old daughter threatens to Care Bear Stare you and your 7-year old son threatens to Force choke his younger brother, all in the same conversation.

The idiots at therapy wanted me to do an exercise climbing a ladder--- Now they had a report from my Back Doc saying I was NOT to climb ladders. My regular Doc ( who is a golf bud too) told me to stay off of ladders too. Well the brain trusts at therapy wanted to argue. Called my regular Doc's office and he faxed them a letter plus called them on the phone NO LADDERS FOR STU.  I did call my claims adjuster and she was surprised they asked me to do that since they have copies of my notes from the Back Doc. Goes to show people do not pay attention. They left my file out one day at therapy and I wrote on it in red sharpie NO Climbing Ladders!!!!---- One of the smart alecks said something and I told her well I am calling my lawyer then the insurance company. When I did my eval a couple of weeks back it was still on the folder and the Eval Tech asked me and I told him the story. He said Geez and he was going to investigate further since he is a supervisor too.
