Grumpy Old Man

[hemibee]

I've become a Grumpy Old Man.

I WAS looking forward to having two days off this weekend but no, they're making me work tomorrow and there will be no riding for another seven days. Kim is enjoying it, I worked 7 days last week and will be doing seven this week too.

Hemi man that sucks !! the weather is getting warmer and dryer here but its comming in to my busy time at the mill so no riding here ether yet

 

[Qship]

Guess we're all getting to be "Grumpy old Men" then. I can't ride due to it being so bloody cold and the snow not melting as well as more on the way.
I'm getting spring fever only there ain't no spring to calm the fever

What Qship said
We had another light snowfall last night

More $$$$ to spend in Florida in August

I'm old, but I ain't grumpy
But maybe I should be; we had another light snowfall overnight and it's -2C (28F)

Oh yes, work is a four letter word and I don't use that kind of language

Cheer up hemi, at least you don't have to wait six months to ride again.

Well I sure hope that you shovelled your old neighbours driveway as well, you know you need to help out these old people as much as you can

It depends I know plenty of people that are years younger than myself but seem twice my age

My crew and I have only put in 84 hour each this week which makes 144 hours for me this pay period. I had 104 the last pay period. I'm getting too old for this crap.

I would agree with you MOT but I'm an exempt employee, no Overtime. My crew is making more than I am. I do get a little extra, but it ain't time and a half like the union hands get.

Sucks being Management and on Salary sometimes, don't it?

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

That's not fair, OK you might have more responsibility than maybe some under you, but you're entitled to a life all the same.
Work don't you just love it,

According to my ex-wife I was a grumpy old man at 25.

Hemi--- I am with you--- on the not RIDING-- due to a recent surgery I can wear a helmet--- and ----- temps conditions and all where PERFECT this entire weekend.
clear 70's low humidity and sunny ---for long rides---- I could not go --- AND didnt have WORK to blame it on .......... x's 2 !

 

[hemibee]

That sucks Keys, 70's AND low humidity! I feel your pain. . . Well at least the pain of not getting to ride in those weather conditions.

 

[triumph david]

Just wait folks when you retire you will not have time to ride everybody has something for you to do. The reason people have to retire is because they don't have time to work!

Hemi, you don't know the definition of grumpy.
I look in on this forum 5 or 6 times a year and think the grumpiest here are like court jesters.
When I find just one kindred spirit, just one grumpier than me I'll be back 5 or 6 times a day.

 

[Rocky]

I'm doing my best to resist, but I'm becoming a bit grumpy.
We had two moderate snow storms this past week - the last week of March for the live of Mike - and another small one is coming tonight with up to 15 cm (6") by middle week
