Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

[woodpusher]

Yaaay us!!!

It looks like our fridge has bit the dust. Found some water on the floor this morning and thought it was just the ice maker. Apparently not. Wheee!

Retirement delay begins...........

 

[GearNoir]

Well, if your weather has been anything like ours down here, it’s got plenty of excuses! Bummer though.

 

[NurseDave]

Heh, that was my first thought. Push back retirement one week and you’re all set.

 

[woodpusher]

Nope, contingency fund was already there. If you can't afford to handle bumps, you can't afford to retire.

 

[NurseDave]

If you can't afford to handle new hobbies, you can't afford to retire.

That's my problem right there.

 

[woodpusher]

My wife has said that she's not retiring, as she's enjoying work from home and would be bored to tears due to Covid-19 travel and get-together restrictions.

As Scooby-Doo would say....

What does this mean for my retirement?

Actually, I'm good and still on track to living it up.

 

[NurseDave]

Cross your fingers and stay out of her hair!

One Word... Doritos

My wife is great!

I get to eat perogies for lunch while she mows the lawn

Setting Sam up to tell him she will be bored to death if he retires and he'll need to work a couple more years......

 

[NurseDave]

I still don't understand him retiring. How can he spend even more time on the cadre???

 

[woodpusher]

I would like to point out that this is only a semi-formal warding of the title. You haven't officially been awarded the title yet. Pffft...what have you really accomplished?

Really though Sam! This is pretty darn awesome! Congratulations!

You no longer need to spend your nights tossing and turning, worrying about whether the IM title will be awarded to me or not, my friend.
Sleep easy from here on out .... until the baby arrives!!

 

[dangerousdon]

Congratulations Sam! Seriously though...this is something not a lot of people can say they accomplished. It may seem trivial to some...but to me it means you are one smart Canadian!

 

[woodpusher]

It's the CRUSHER! (I'm a fish)

 

[Graybeard57]

Thank goodness. We can all rest easy now.

 

[Dave in KY]

Congrats Sam! Although I did not sleep any better last night, we'll see about tonight

 

[MilkCrate]

Congrats Sam! I slept great BTW.

 

[NurseDave]

That's one sweet jpg Sam! You're going to have to save that in a special file somewhere. Maybe on a usb drive on your mantle!

 

[GearNoir]

Congrats Sam! You’re an AOL Instant Messenger champ!




That’s what we were talking about right?
