I retired from an IT job at the end of July last year. My co-workers and people I worked with from other departments had an office party and we said our good byes. I enjoyed my job and the people I worked with, but it was time to go after 30 years.

They took up a collection and gave me a gift certificate to amazon. I bought a hammock for bike camping and a light weight chair for sitting at the campfire when bike camping. I hope I have good health and can enjoy them for the next decade.

This year was spent watching my grandson 3 or 4 days a week. Next year will only be 2 days per week and I plan on a lot more short bike tours.
