Is it Febuary yet!
Congrats. My retirement starts sometime in the next 4 months - sorry no countdown clock. Having a house built is not that exact a science, but it's thereabouts.
What was the gift, the rods, the guide book or the GPS..?
How are your dizzies by the way, Menzies..? I bet they are all gone now.

Retirement is the best cure to any pain, I am sure Menzies is feeling far better now!
This bring me a question... Were your dizzies caused by the emotion from looking at that countdown coming to 0???

The Penn rods and reels and the EPIRB.
The second half of the gift is yet to come and depends on a measurement of the boat tomorrow to see if it will take the purchase!

I have decided that drinking a bottle of red seems to offset the vertigo somewhat and actually has me walking straighter!
Yup most known are from BC and ON. White wine can be honestly very good (it is hard for a french to admit this lol). On the red side it is a bit more limited (no offense here please), while some are good, climate allow less cepage type than let say France. After it is the same in any country, some good some not and it would not be fair to compare a country with 200+ years of wine productin with one with 50 years.
Congrats on your retirement, Menzies! Like you, I had a countdown timer app on my phone in my last year of work. It's still there, but now it's a count-up timer since retirement. It shows I've been retired for 1519 days! Gotta love it!

Retirement life is good, though sometimes I feel like I'm working harder, especially on the boat getting her ready for the next trip.
A bad day on the boat is still much better than a good day working!
Cheers bud, just cracked the Pendleton, toasting to ya!
