The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.
As planned, I retired from work Friday, for the summer. Reasons: Because I can, & because it is probably the last chance I will have to take a summer off for about 25-30 years. So far there has been a lot of catching up on sleep, watching World Cup action, along with watching the Oilers shit the bed.
I must be off for some lunch & viewing the 1984 classic 'Bachelor Party' Hopefully it is as good this viewing, as it was 10 years ago.

Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left.
Things got under way with a classic BHT outing Thursday night as Andrew & Tracy were in town.
It featured the regular billiards duel against Vettel, a Quiet Riot jukebox selection that got louder during play, I could certainly 'Feel the noise.' & alternative lyrics to 'Mony Mony' being shouted by an older lady who would later buy us drinks.
We joined B. Savoy for some mingling with sketchy people, including one guy who randomly got up & started taking pictures of some girls, later pulling out a stack of photos of local females. It turns out he is an actual photographer, not just a pervert with a camera.
There were several classic comments & stories heard through the night, a billiards team match against a couple of guys from my work, some conversation with James. S, & catching up with some former classmates who have returned home, including Kenny. M.
I think the BHT should be the new via/smt station, because whenever someone gets back home, it is one of their first stops.
Friday Kelly & I departed for PEI, my first journey across the straight.
We stopped off in Moncton for supper, meeting up with Julie & Brad.
I was reminded of why I don't eat anything at Wendy's except the giant burgers ... the buns taste like Wonder Bread, which is total shit. At least with the 4 patty burger, the grease soaks into the bun making it taste good.
We arrived in PEI pretty late, checked into the hotel, I took advantage of the free wireless internet & did some final studying while Kelly had a shower.
Saturday I did my APA tests, passing both, & getting to do the psychological testing, results to follow in a few weeks.
We left PEI, headed to Moncton where every restaurant was fully packed, eventually we decided to stand in line at Ponderosa. The meal was actually okay this time, but looses points on the processed meat in the burgers, & also for not labeling things at the salad bar, causing me to eat something that should be illegal to taste.
From now on at restaurants when I'm asked my last name for the order, instead of having to spell out my real last name, I will just be using a fake one.
Sunday was a day of catching up on sleep, I had Monday & today as scheduled days off from work, Saturday & Sunday were sick days I had to take after they wouldn't switch the schedule around.
The hype of Walmart here seems to have been replaced by Boston Pizza. Everyone wants to either go there or work there, in the end you are just eating or serving food, get over it.
