Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Congratulations. It is a good feeling.
At some point, you will absolutely not know what day of the week it is. Or is that just me?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You're not alone with that day of the week business, I can assure you! Though even back in the '80s when I was in uni and working, I'd sometimes drive over to the campus and wonder why it was so deserted. Burning my candle at both ends in those days. Two jobs and a full load schedule will do that to a person.

After rising around 4 am for 40+ years my body just won't let me sleep past that time. I normally get 4 to 5 hours sleep but I might catch a quick nap or two during the day. My internal clock is busted and won't reset! ![]() Also I noticed I often didn't know what the day and date was, as there is no start and end to the week now. My wife found a real neat fix for that. It's a digital clock with day, date and year displayed. We no longer ever wonder just what day of the week it is. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
What I did today not on my truck?
Well I dug into the storage unit to see what I could cull to make some room out there and find my chainsaw. I couldn't get in past the door. After all day I made it to the back of the unit and worked my way back but made little to no improvement out there. I found very little to toss. We ended up with quite a lot of our parent's belongings the last 4 years and don't know what to do with them. So everything I pulled out today had to go right back in. What a wasted day... And I still didn't find my chainsaw.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The only thing besides the folks I worked with that I miss, is the access to all the machining equipment. I am building my version of a 3 point hitch "log handler". I have to still weld my hitch point plates on there, but I need to drill some mighty large pin holes. That milling machine would make quick work of it. So I threw them in the truck and took them to my old co-worker who is now the maint super, and he is getting it done. Here is a pic of a factory deal. I sorta added a 30 degree boom to it. Hitch points should be similar. And my framework I have started.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yep, saw my first one of the year while hiking the trails yesterday morning. And wildflowers are starting to poke their heads out. It would be just about perfect if not for the pollen that's starting to fill the air.... and my sinuses.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
OK, you guys talked me into it, I'm retiring too.
Really I am. I'm been at my company for 32 years and have been eligible for full retirement for two years now. I was going to retire in 2025 but they announced a "restructuring" which is eliminating 2000 jobs company wide (and includes a lump sum payout depending on your years of service), so I put my hand in the air and they took me up on it. My last day is June 30th.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got a horse trailer today. I don't have a horse but it's a cool old trailer probably from the 50's. I didn't get any pic's because like a dummy I forgot my phone today.
My friend is moving and he was just going to leave it behind because the tires are toast. He said to just come and get it. The tires are flat and he didn't want to fool with it. So it was free. Well almost free, I still need to put tires on it. But I really like it, this thing is built like a battleship.

Mostly I'm the turkey though. Speaking of horse tralers, they are very handy for hauling lumber. Built like a tank. I don't know much about horses.
