Snake, I sent a photo or two to Toby. He may not have been able to open it or maybe he has not had time to post for me.
Today is my 30th high school reunion. My girlfriend and I are going. It is being held in Millionaires Row at Churhill Downs. They apparently have a program where us paupers are allowed in there.

My boys left Tuesday to stay out west for a month with Grandma and Grandpa. They should have a good time.
Here is some more news: At midnight on 31 JUL 09 I will be retired. My girlfriend is having a party for me on 12 SEP 09 and if any of you would like to come you would be most welcome. Just let me know so I can get info to you.

Carter, Retirement before 50. Wish I would have thought of that when I was 20/25. Now I will have to depend on SS. I will collect it at 66, plus work till I cannot work. Frankly,besides having a bit more free time,I have always pictured myself working. snake-eyes

Vacation is over. Counting today, I have 13 work days left in my career. Unless I can snag a few extra OT days which I would like to do. Why? Because it will give a good boost to my retirement pay

Actually Mars, they prefer to give the OT to the lower ranks. But I get what you are saying

Maybe I got more than I asked for. My last regular work day was Thursday. I got a day of OT on Friday. I went home this morning and I was not there a half an hour when I was called about working today. I said I worked yesterday and I thought we were not allowed to work more than two days in a row. He said don't worry about that and he will take the heat for hiring me. So I said okay and came on in. So this means I will also work again tomorrow as it is my regular day again. I don't mind. It's just more money in my pocket now and for retirement.

I get 7 more hours of OT tomorrow. That will total 54.5 hours of extra OT on this check

Tonight, the City Commission recognized my years of service for my retirement. The department gave me a nice plaque and the city did too.

Fortunately I still have my health. I try to keep my exercise routine going which helps quite a bit. I wish the best for you all too.
