This job started because of my sharpening but now I'm kind of a jerk of all trades. Servicing, repairing, mow this, organize that area, keep a maintenance logbook, etc. 
Brought a couple hedge trimmers back to life and I couldn't help but notice.... something to sharpen! The boss says sharpening them is a very specialized thing. Perfect! I'm really wanting to perfect that skill, I'll start with one from the boneyard but I'm sure I can do a good job on them.
I can't help myself, I like sharp tools. Heck, I even sharpen my shovels.

Monday I will be laying over in Elko, Nevada. and Tuesday I will be laying over in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Wednesday I am headed to Golden Co to unload and then headed back the way I came in to go home.

My boss and I will each be in our own trucks hauling some sort of specialty items. I am not one to travel far and only agreed to go on this trip to help him out.....anyway, if you are nearby let me know.

We are loading in Folsom, Ca.  Monday morning. 

How is that drive across all that area...boring or decent?

Before I retired from the AF spent 2-3 hours in the gym every day off & depending on duty spend 1ish hour every night out in the missile complex

Spend almost a hour a week in the gym on the county fire department and after that….nope, not been in a gym since 2005 😬😬😬😬😬

In the rehab hospital I did enjoy the recumbent bike and resistance machine and drove the physical therapists crazy pushing so hard but never followed up with it 

Now I’m planning on starting out 3 days a week for 30 mins and working up to 1 hour and who knows from there 

Will be strange going on base to the gym as it’s full of military so we shall see if we stay on base or find a gym off base. On base is “free” just not sure what all they have as far as resistance machines so we shall see……

Trying the muscle supplements thing to help with building muscle since us old folks loose muscle mass and struggle to maintain & build it 

Protein 1-2 hours before going, hydration during (salts & minerals) & specially formulated recovery/repair muscle post workout and then a “snack” or meal replacement protein bar. Everything is low/zero carbs & zero sugars 

Having a hard time finding a quality holster for this beast 

3” 19 carry comp with a red dot…had a trigger job done on her and it’s a huge incredible improvement, love the single action as well as double action 

Kurt has been one of my favorite commentators for quite a while now. 
As always, he hits it out of the park with this piece on the reforming of the Republican party.

Hmm, that link takes you to print preview, just click back once for the article.

Well, so. Today was the last day with students. I have to go Monday and close up my classroom. After 26 years of teaching, retirement drifts in pretty softly. Every year summer vacation ends the school year, but I guess I won’t really feel ‘retired’ until I don’t go back in August.

But, on paper, it’s official. Your boy is retired (…from 6th grade social studies. I’ll keep teaching college as an adjunct faculty).

I think I’ll hit the range on Tuesday.
