A sunny, and DRY, 73(F) on my deck this afternoon. I can live with that.

Hey Ted, here, the named "mate" with.... (what you see in the image illustrative) is traditional. A classic, especially on Sunday mornings or for afternoon. Obviously, tea is in my cupboard, but you could say it's not used; it lasts for months.

@hedgehog Sounds amazing... I'm a dad at 49 years old so that option will be a long wait for me... I'm late to that world but it sounds wonderful...

 

Best

Sitting in my mancave (see post) today and watching 6 hrs of NFL. 

Life is hard. Sometimes...not so much.

@hedgehog  I've already pretty much gotten used to retirement since I pulled the plug 11/2008.

Never get tired of it though. Every time I look at the clock and it says 0515 hrs on a Monday and...

I just turn over and pull the blanket higher up around my nose.. Nupe. Never get tired of that one.
