Mess around with the car.

Go fishin.

Drink a few cool ones.

It's a rough life But I can manage

Oh, if I get really bored, I do a job from the honey-do list
Nice!! I am envious Wayne.

You have it pretty nice now Shane, a great wife that enjoys same things as you do and a beautiful daughter (who I missed seeing this year) and folks that you love doing stuff with.
In my books that is what I call an ideal set-up

By the way next year we gotta have a big get-together with the gang..........for sure.

Yup, summer's the best. I'll take the heat and dry roads anytime. When I had an MGB I loved the wind blowing through my hair. Now the "B"'s gone and so is most of my hair. We all enjoy different things at different stages of life. As far as it goes Wayne life is great, eh. Retirement is more than 3 but less than 6 years away for us if all goes well.
Enjoy the summer boys, cuz it ends way too early up here in Canada.

Yeah, I feel very blessed with all of the family I have Wayne, they mean everything to me.

That sounds great for next year, I really hope we can work something out that fits everyone's schedule. I was quite disappointed that we didn't get together this summer.

I've had a taste of this life the past 7-8 weeks and I have to say I could get used to it...just maybe not quite yet. I sure have been enjoying spending time with my kids (we've done field trips every day this week!) and long bike rides, but I do find myself jonesing for something on which to concentrate the grey matter. We go on vacation in a week for 2 weeks, then it'll be down to the serious business of getting un-retired. Me and Favre.

Sounds like you have a nice summer planned.

For me, I am involved in a bunch of things and I always have something to do. I honestly don't know how I did it when I was working .

Sounds like you guys out east are having great summer, you guys deserve it after the harsh winter you've had ... as for us in Winnipeg, it's been so crappy, rain, rain go away.

I agree on the ideal set up. The big get together sounds great too.

Yep. 29 today and lots of humidity. No rain though. I'm hearing the harbour fog horns right now but that will burn off shortly!

Enjoy the rest of the time Wayne. I understand exactly how you feel.

G/L getting un-retired.

Next year for sure. It's our 20th wedding anniversary next July so we will probably be planning some other trip too.

Yeah, we'd really enjoy that. Hopefully it will work out for you.

Good stuff Ian, it would be great to meet up with you this fall. IIRC, Colin was contemplating about coming east this fall too.
