Work went well, one more day working tomorrow and then I'm taking the rest of the year off.

I have a lot of traveling to do over the Holidays, so I will 'retire' until after the New Year.

It feels like snow here soon, lots up in the mountains and still snowing.

Your employer onboard? Hold your job?

Glad you have your 4 wheel drive.

Good evening, Mooch...I must agree with you. It is inspiring to see our troops at work and sometimes play.

Any snow and cold yet? My thermometer says 0.0 right now.

It's 'retail', so they say, so nothing is for certain, but if an opening is available, I'm back in.

I'm not worrying, I'm just going to enjoy the Season and have a lot of fun.
