                       WHAT NEXT?!!!

     Those of you who think that retirement
means a day in the rocking chair or on the
couch might want to review our Tuesday
before quitting your job.
      I knew we'd be starting a bit early as
a local Handy man was stopping by to
tighten the bands in our dropped ceiling
and replace a block damaged by a leak
a year or so ago.
       As he worked our Oil delivery man
showed up and reported his key would
not unlock our tank. Fortunately we keep
our own copy so our furnace will have
fuel for a couple months.
      Then came the Bottled gas company.
Fearing a possible flame out in the middle
of Thanksgiving turkey cooking we called
a regional company to come and fill our
cylinders. Here I must stress the term
"Our cylinders." We've had them at a
couple campers we owned and moved
them to our house when we gave up
camping.
       It was difficult to explain they
did not belong to a Company and
even more difficult to get  propane
filled unless we accepted new cylinders
from the delivery firm.
      I want turkey and an occasional
dinner from time to time so we've
now got new gas cylinders.
      Next challenge, the dirt and
material from the old ceiling block
that fell on the floor.
      That's when we learned our
vacuum cleaner no longer sucks
up anything!
       We put that problem on hold
while we retrieved all the Christmas
holiday decorations from the shed.
       My wife gathered up all the
autumn items and we tested our
first string of Christmas lights.
About half of them worked.
So much for the lighting project!
        Anyway with tiles repaired,
and a full fuel supply for cooking
and heating we headed to Walmart
to replace the vacuum cleaner, pick
up a couple new decorations, and
make a new key for the oil tank
lock.
        I had our shopping items
about half loaded when my wife
pointed out I was putting them in
the wrong car, Well, in all fairness,
it was about the same size and color
and was parked right next to ours.
       I corrected that problem before
the other owner showed up and we
headed home......to see what's next!
       Hope it's not complicated and
that all your NEWS is good!
