I also have joined the local Men's shed where I am learning some practical skills that are new to me. Doing something that was not part of your work life can be a lot of fun :cup:

A couple of ideas...
1. You've got 11 months to start working in next Nagambie NOW festival
2. You could spend the next 4 months, working your way up and down the coast each month, coming up to mow my lawn while I'm away...
There a couple if ideas to start with...

Oh, and don't isolate yourself too much. After a lifetime of farming and a good lot of his friends already passing away, my father found it hard to get out and be social once he retired (the old man didn't finally get off the farm until he had to in his mid 70's). I think the isolation was one of the hardest parts of retirement for him.
I have no doubt you'll find plenty to fill in the hours! :cheers:

Always jobs on the list to keep me going.
Having a cuppa early this morning and SWMBO asks what's on the programme for today.
Not much, time for a quiet day.
5 minutes later, phone call from the grand daughter, the dogs got out.
OK we will be round there in 5.
Why has the dog got out?
The electric gate is not working.
OK find the dog, fix the gate later today.
Meanwhile get a call from the daughter.
Car stopped at the lights and would not start again (istop)
Get her to work, then have to go later to get a new battery, fit it to car, then get her car to her work so she can get home.
Just another quiet day as a retired man.

lts a sad world we live in today ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, for some .
Do you reckon l should sell him 1 of my 3 , 42 in mowers to help him along a bit . ???
Geeeeee its great to not have to mow as much :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Post by: Pottsy on April 08, 2018, 07:34:27 PM
l have heard the " New Bloke " is having a problem with the mowing . NB ( New Bloke ) is using a 36 in mower that is doing a really nice job ,,,,, but slowly . His quoted price has just turned to 5h1t as l used a 42 in mower .You could always offer to act as a mowing consultant or sub contractor and ask for exorbitant wages. :cheers:

Good point ,,,, a consultant ??? there might be more $ in that sort of deal ???Happy to act as your business manager, negotiate an air tight contract, charge your prospective employer wages as high as a politicians super and sit back and take a cool 15% skimmed of the top!

Went to town today to get a New Deepie for the CT as the old unit held only 9,5V . Still trying to work out how old the last 1 was , possibly 4 years or so . Stopped off to buy new pillows then came home to give them a test run . Cant really say if they work as l nodded off for an hour of so .. Life is tuff :cheers:Can't sleep during the day but my missus will nod off at the drop of a hat. didn't take long for you to get into relax mode. :cheers:

Life is tuff :cheers:Your in need of a constant input for those batteries. Mine are nearly 9 yrs. since they were fitted.
Still going well. Fitted with a 50W solar panel that keeps them going when parked up.
Still need a bigger solar input for going bush though. Adding 120w folding portable panels is just not enough.
