Meme circulates in first responder circles with x-rays of damaged hands after a firework has exploded while being held. The caption is something to the effect of "today is the last day somebody will wake up with all ten fingers". If you do your own - be careful and keep the water hose handy. Worst fear for me living in country is a grass fire started by fireworks.
Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!! If you are working - I feel your pain.
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
I ain't gonna lie about it - I don't know. 
Till end of the year I plan on cruising work wise and work on some "honey do's" and get my shop building cleaned out and back in order. I have entertained the idea of working for a "First Call" service or funeral home and chauffeur dead people around. No embalming or funeral directing. Pick-up and delivery only! Second option is that Texas schools are desperately trying to put armed bodies on their campuses. Pros and cons to working as a campus cop. Plan to keep the Peace Officer license valid in case I do wind up going back to work in that field. Thirdly, and this one the wife nixed under all cir****tances as long as we are together, being a gigolo at a Dell Web / Robson Ranch 55+ retirement community! 
I remember it being hot, humid and gritty digging ditches and pulling concrete in Houston in 1980! 
Of course I was a wee lad of 18 doing that crap!

Preemptively wishing all a Happy 4th of July.
Had a bad week at work. We had some critical people out so things ran very poorly. Made lots of extra hours but finished the week with an empty tank. Did one small honeydo project but was mostly a lump.
Weight's stable at about 162 today.
I don't feel bad for people in TX in the heat. I was in Austin for a week last yr when it was 106+ each day and it feels a lot better than 80 degrees in NYC which is humid, muggy, and gross.
Regarding retirement, you guys aren't retiring, you're just transitioning to new forms of work and engagement. Sitting home is boring and ages people fast so your challenge is finding new ways to stay in the game that hopefully are fun and rewarding.
Have a great week!

I was going to comment on how it will be 85 today, then I read Don's...never mind :-)
Some nice weather so maybe I'll get in the pool for the first time this season. Maybe cut the lawn, maybe go to Costco. Nothing really planned, and that is OK with me.
Don, have any plans on what to do when you retire? I'm a little nervous about that for myself. I like to cook, so that's not the best hobby for a bariatric patient. Yardwork is satisfying, but Summer is only a few months here in upper Ohio.
Good week to all!

Triple digits all week so water and AC are mandatory! Did knock off yard yesterday and rowing on track this week. Retirement paperwork is turned in. Debating if I want any type of shindig to celebrate my departure. Leaning away from having one.
Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!!

I was not aware he had gotten that heavy .. Didn't he have WLS some time back, or am I confused .. ?

Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

Mowed the lawn even though it didn't really need it. More of to just get the tall spots down and get some exercise.
Wife and kids took me out to breakfast Saturday and yesterday had some family over for a cook out. A good Father's Day.
Congrats on the retirement coming up! I plan on it January 3, 2024. I had my first retirement counseling session last week to go over forms and what needs to be done. 40+ years in...... still not sure what I want to do when I grow up :-) Don, my wife is already planning on sending me back :-)
Good week to all!
