Your Picture of the day.

Eighty year old Tilley lamp still lighting up the night.

 

Made a couple of rabbit gum traps.

 

Coleman 227.

 

Lookin' nice and peaceful there ,,,,
How's that retirement going for ya so far ??

 

So far, so good. Got my INDEF retired ID today, have appointments with Social Security next week and I've added two new super economical reading lights over my favorite chair and my bed so I can shut them off without getting up.

Hardest part is training myself to maintain a reasonable wake/sleep schedule.

 

I'm not fully retired ,, just have longer gaps between jobs. Been self employed for years ,, and my sleep habits have turned to crap. Can't seem to get to sleep till 2200-0500,,, and then that affects the next night. And I'm not a fan of taking pills.
Good luck with them sleep habits ,, if you find the cure ,, pass it on .
Congrats, and enjoy . It's just about fishing season ,, are you a fisherman?? If I was in your AO ,, I'd build me one of them scooters with all my tackle , poles and beer cooler and ride my gear out to the end of the pier .

 

My Dad beat the sleep thing with routine.....Out at 0500 to get the paper, fiddle around and watch the morning news then on to doing something until lunch. He would nap after lunch once in a while for 30 minutes or so, then back to piddling with something until supper time, watch the news and In The Heat of the Night rerun, then off to bed at 2100. He never stopped being a Marine.
