A big 50+ Thank You
A big 50+ Thank You for all of your patience, support, kind words, prayers, and helpful advice over the past several weeks.
There were times where I had experienced some low points that I never knew existed before and you were there to help pull me back up and out of my funk. I'm still working my way through this maze and learning to deal with all the facets of this somewhat bold move that I have made. With the support and care shown by you folks, I think we'll get through this phase alright.
I expect to be tinkering with a bunch of scrap bikes I've collected over the years and squeezing in some rides.....so there will be a few reports coming down the pike.
Again, Thank You all very much.
The cat's warming up the couch, I think I'll take a nap now.

It is thanks enough to have you posting about some good things coming your way, Lenny. I hope everything continues on the upswing for you and the missus, y'all have earned a bit of happiness and good times after all you were dragged through. Ride safe and Ride Lots. BTW, my cat, Carl and I took a celebratory nap after my ride for your last day at EK.

You worked for it- you earnt it and you got it.
The retirement I mean and not the other hassle you have had just recently.
Time to sit back and relax- but if get like me- You will wonder why you gave up work. I have so much to do in retirement that I wonder how I ever used to find time for work.

Since I retired, I get up early every morning, so I'll have more time to loaf! Actually, I get up in the morning with nothing to do, and go to bed at night with half of it still not done. I can't imagine where I ever found time to work.

It's not "retirement", you've finally reached the point where you can do what you want, when you want without having work get in the way.
Good for you ! Now get out there and enjoy yourself...
