HOWDY

[hemibee]

Thought I'd better let y'all know that I'm still alive and kicking. Been a rough four or three months since my last drop in to say howdy.

Had to go get some injections in my right hand after the surgery healed and fixing' to have to do it again. I've got 5 joints in my right hand that are bone on bone and it hurts like a, well let's just leave it as painful.

I've only been able to ride once this year and that was to go get Jessica inspected and the new tags. I must have seen EVERY cop, constable, sheriff, and State Trooper from the area between my house, the inspection station and the county tax office before I had the new tag. Afterwards I didn't see a single one of them and it's a good thing too because I would have lost my license and needed bail money if caught at the speeds I was running.

I hope to get the next set of injections soon so maybe I can ride a little so that I feel like I really belong here.

Now back to the shop, ive got a couple projects needing some attention.

Glad to hear from you! Hope it all mends well.

I've been wondering how things were going with you.
Sorry to hear the bad news about your hand, but glad that you're otherwise OK

I pray you can get riding again soon. I am returning to two wheels after 18 months of a reverse trike due to some pain issues being resolved.

For all y'all that have been retired a few years, how do you do it? I don't have enough time in the day to do all the things I'm not going to do, oops, I mean all the things I need to do.

To all those that are still working. . . Retirement is not what every retired person is telling you, it's way better.

My wife retired four years ago and has enjoyed it. LoL. I’m not retired, but the current situation certainly has made me feel I was. I wish I could retire some days, but at the moment I’ll probably be looking for another job in the fall.

I have to opposite issue, I need more to keep active and valid. I retired at 50 from my career, did a few other jobs and have been doing volunteer work since. It's going to be a very boring 10-14 days until I get my Street Twin.

I retired a week-and-a-half ago. Still working things out, and adjusting. Wonder how long it will take till I feel rested, without over-sleeping.

I was Air Traffic Control for 28 years. It took me 6 months of riding every day to get relaxed.

I think working as a tech at AT&T was a lot less stressful than being an ATC (I could be wrong), so I hope it takes less time.

Nice not having a boss. I am single so I do not even have a boss at home...LOL

 

[Greyfell]

I'm in a similar situation.

Hey, Hemi! Glad you're still kickin'.
Hope you get your hand back to feeling somewhat normal and enjoy that retirement better.
Trying to keep the Tiger madness alive. Tough without you and @keystiger and the sasquatch stories.

 

[triumph david]

Hemibee, you are 100% right about that retirement i am thinking about going back where i will have less to do! Glad to see you are doing OK, drop by every once in awhile.

Tony, glad you are still kicking. Sorry to hear about your hand issues. I hope you can get them resolved and healed.
