I'm hoping the humidity breaks tomorrow. I want to work on a few things outside.
I'm working on my Harley in the shop today. 84 FXWG Wide Glide. New to me, with a new S&S engine. Never been fired before. But also, lots of cables not connected, never oil in the engine, gearbox, foot m/c not connected, need battery....etc...etc..etc..... BTW still 79 deg in here today... 
You would be proud of me. I watched a You Tube video that compared old and new Early Times Bottled in Bond. Well of course I have a bottle and I had to go downstairs and see which one it was nad of course see how it tasted. Geez I love retirement. Cheers to starting the weekend off early.
Penny Farthings will rattle your bones... not to mention that it's originally a direct crank... and a long way to fall
Want me to rub it in ! Been retired for 17 years now!

so, you guys are professional retirees by now.Almost 23 years retired here...
Yeah, retired business owner in late 2000. At age 44. I must say I have been blessed.
That looks good
Thats awesome for you. What was your business?
I resemble that.
BB. I was in the auto parts business. Started at age 17 as a delivery boy for $1.75 an hour. Work my way up to the ranks, became a store manager, the owner sold me one store in 1983. I went on to open two more stores. Then I sold everything to Carquest in late 2000. But I listened to the old guys that taught me the business. They encouraged me to buy the real estate where I was doing business if I could. And I did. I did not sell the commercial buildings to carquest. 23 years later they still rent them from me. Like I said, I have been blessed
Congratulations, you have definitely been blessed. Now you get to reap the benefits and enjoy life.
I'm just a dumb redneck with a high school education, that listened well to what the old guys were trying to teach me.
Well then you weren't dumb
Sitting here typing on FABO is not getting any work done on this motorcycle. Be back later.
THis made me chuckle.
No need to work through my lunch hour. LMAO
