Senile Texas Aggie - comic relief for the rest of you

[Senile_Texas_Aggie]

All,

On Thursday we received the controller board for the automatic gate opener after I fried the previous controller board a couple of weeks ago when trying to cycle power to the board. Yesterday I braved the harsh climate of ominous dark clouds, gale-force winds (~ 5 MPH), and bone-chilling temperatures (~ 45° F, ~ 7° C). I toiled for at least 30 minutes -- 30 MINUTES! -- getting the board installed. But I finally got it done. I returned home and went inside and stood by the fire while I warmed up. Thus ended the adventure of installing a new gate controller. I tell you, this retirement life is wearing me out!

Look at what you have learned in the few years you have been doing this! Self sufficiency is worth earning!

Southern has health problems. I hope she is ok.

They are active on Facebook. I checked their page last year some time, and did you know, SOUTHERN FINALLY GOT TO MOVE TO A NEW FARM!!!
All these years she talked about it, and now when it finally happened, she never posted on BYH about it. I really miss their posts.

I'm glad they got their new farm, I know that was in the works a few years ago but like many the right place has to come around at the right time and price.

I'm sure they are thrilled to get pups from Callie and D's line.'s, now Mike & Teresa's Mel, is one of their pups.

Sorry to hear the SBC is having health issues, IIRC that has been a long running problem.

Good work STA, sorry you had to suffer that awful winter weather to get it done.

Glad to find out that there was a happy ending to SBC's lack of communication. I don't do Facebook.

DH says that being retired is actually being re-tired! LOL He can't believe all we got done when he was working long hours and often 6 days a week. He says he has more to do now that he isn't going in to work!

That is how it works isn't it? Retirement is a 7 day a week job for which you get no pay. Of course one can choose just how much work they want to do, what they want to pay someone else to do and what to get rid of because you don't want to do either of those things.

Miss @Baymule,

Did you get any snow? If so, would you post them? I would be honored to have you post them on my journal.
