Something tells me the girls will never let him completely retire :)rotflmao

:)rotflmao Ho! That's an under statement I'm sure.

My Retirement (such as it is) was official on 11/20/2010. Everything since then has been just setting things up to actually try to enjoy it. And Dave was right. They won't let me fossilize.

Tonight in a Moe Tell. Then tomorrow, off to the world!

The stress finally got to me today, and I blew, but I got over it, and everyone survived, so it could have been worse.

Made it to Laramie, Wyo. That's about it for today. SWMBO has to drive her vehicle, so she can't put in the mileage I usually try to do.

Be safe out there!

Pack your ice bags. It a whole lot hot here in Mizery

OldEdBrady · July 21, 2011, 09:57 PM

Duly noted.

Made it to Goodland, Kan. Not a lot of distsance, but progress. Spending the night here at the KOA (in a cabin, but, at least, it's not a blasted Moe Tell!).

SWMBO has one of those GPS things in her vehicle (that's because she can get lost in a phone booth). I'm willing to bet that, over and over today, the thing kept saying "Recalculating." I used MY shortcuts.

Completely bypassed Cheyennne, Wyo., and Denver. If I hadn't, we'd probably still be somewhere in central Colorado. But, been here long enough to relax a little, have a brew, and fire this thing up.

Pushed it a bit today, and we're in Oak Grove, Mo. But, back to a Moe Tell.

Be home sometime tomorrow. And, a friend of ours is going to turn on the a/c about noon so that it will be cool when we get there.

FINALLY! It's almost over!

OldEdBrady · July 24, 2011, 03:46 PM

Now this thread can die. We arrived about 2 p.m. local.

The friend of ours who was going to turn on the a/c hadn't made it yet. But that's not her fault. I didn't expect to be here until about 6. So, it was screaming hot in the house. And it's gonna take some time to cool it down now.

But, I have the central air going, two window a/cs, and the thing that cuts down the humidity in the joint. That all should work in a few hours.

Now all we have to do is unload my truck, her car, and find out what we brought that we don't really need. W%

WOW! The Hydro Company's going to love you. Glad ya told us though that explains the brown out we just experienced. :)rotflmao
