T-60 Days Until Retirement

BoomBozz Elizabethtown, KY

At the end of today, I will have only 60, six-zero, days until retirement or something other than working here. Of that, I only have 25 actual days in the office. All of my vacation time is scheduled and will be taken barring any unforeseen problems.

Retiring at 57 sounds good to me. That doesn't mean I will sit on the couch, eating bacon and pizza all day long though that does have an appeal.

I intend to take a welding class but will probably find something else to do while waiting for the next semester to start. I helped my father and aunt with new computers and phones last weekend. I used to do that a lot. I could probably help a few folks out and make a few bucks on the side.

One of the other things I'm intent on doing is getting rid of a bunch of collected stuff (I don't like calling it junk) that I probably won't be using in the future. I tend to save boxes from big-ticket items like TVs and laptops in case I decide to sell them. It makes them bring more and shows how well they were taken care of. Kind of like having maintenance records of my vehicles.

Over the weekend we went to Louisville to drop a bed off at our daughter's. No more sleeping on air mattresses!

On the way home, we stopped in Elizabethtown to get gas and have lunch at a place called BoomBozz. It was pretty good pizza though it was an 8" instead of a 10" like many places serve. It hit the spot. They have a lot of TVs in that place. They even had a cluster hanging in the middle, arena-style, for those not facing a wall, which is a problem I've often lamented though I'm not really a sports fan.
