I retired at age 65 after 50 yrs in the workforce and I finally could work in and outside of my house which I had neglected for quite some time due to shift work. It took me about 2yrs to do what needed to be done and I was quite happy.The mortgage was paid off so what else did I want? Then, exactly 2yrs after my retirement my phone rung and I was offered a job as a driver for a chain of car dealerships. It sounded interesting and I accepted the job and I figured that I can do that for 1 1/2 to 2 years, not knowing that this would last for 10 1/2 yrs. It was a lot of fun and a lot of driving picking up cars all over Ontario which the owner of the dealership bought. A slow drive meant about 600km a day up to 1600km a day. After 10 1/2 yrs and nearing 78yrs of age, I finally retired for good. Money was not the issue but more of something to do. Of course the money came in handy as cigars are not exactly the cheapest hobby. My wife worked in retail until she was almost 72, not that she had to but that she enjoyed it. So, now we're at home and do the things we want to do and when. It is not easy doing nothing as you never know when you finished with it and nobody telling you when to take a coffee break. With our pension we're getting by as the house is paid off.

I never liked unions but I'm not against being organized if done properly. I was a member of the Hoisting and Engineering union here in Ontario, Canada in the 70s and they have done f*** all for me except take my membership dues.

Just like me, mostly water. Once in a while a bourbon (perhaps every 3 to 4 months).

It was cloudy and grey all morning hier in Brantford but at around 2pm not a single cloud in sight. It was 100% total eclipse.

I love that cigar.

Thanks Frank and yes we're doing well considering our age.B.T.W.I retired for good from driving 1 1/2 years ago.10 1/2 years was enough.Now we relax and watch the world go by

Thanks John, I should have known it.

Thanks. Yes, I remember our time at Virgil's very well, just not your name.

Thanks

Vielen Dank👍

As on that day 58 years ago my wife and I got married without regrets. How time is flying!

I never had any luck with orchids but I have no problems with hibiscus. A former neighbor of mine was a commercial orchid grower and we exchanged orchid for hibiscus and guess what, his hibi died and so did my orchid. On the other hand my mother in Germany had orchids galore. The funny part is that I can grow coffee trees from beans (not the roasted ones). Go figure.

I was just reading that France gives out 200 000 condoms to the attending athletes. Until now I didn't know that sex was/is an Olympic discipline. I wonder who the favorite is to win it all.

Welcome to the FoH forum and happy smokes

If there wouldn't be that stupid thing called DUTIES! 😂
