I struggle with niceties.
You are more about blunt truthfulness. Many people require a daily dose of empathy... And your DNA does not contain the empathy chromosome. Maybe he's Jewish.

Please keep the answers coming.
Thank you, good response. Sam; Top of the morning to you my cyber friend, I hope the weather's what you need for harvest and in all other ways this finds you and yours well. As I've often said here, my life has been more blessed than anything I could have done to deserve it Sam. This is near the end of the 5th month of my "trial retirement" and honestly I have no idea how I got anything done at all around the place when I was working 45-50 hours a week!  In the last year and a bit we had closure on both my mother and mother in law's long term dementia issues - they passed on - and hopefully I can be forgiven for saying that it's been somewhat of a blessing in that the stresses of dealing with it have been lifted from my wife and I, you know? It's the sort of thing one doesn't know is weighing on you while you are carrying it, if that makes sense? Anyways Sam, I'm considering getting more involved in the local political scene as well, nothing serious just helping to rid Ottawa of the current entitled maggot infestation plague mostly.  Hunting season is around the corner and I'll get the rifles checked this week, the firewood's cut for the next winter and well into the following and think the Dodge should be patched up enough to take me where I want to wander. The only thing I need to really do is figure out how to do snappy videos like you do Sam - but I'm working on it! All the best to you all sir, good harvest and good hunts. Dwayne John Adams told Thomas Jefferson that he had a most elegant pen. Much of the same could be said about yours Sir.

The only thing that worries me in the near future is that the Democrats might steal the election.

Retired, celebrated anny #45 yesterday with a sweet gal, Grandkid #13 on the way, under viral house arrest (co-morbidities), much to look forward to.

VERY blessed.
Not wealthy in a monetary sense, but all needs met, own my land free and clear, do the work I like doing, and I get paid to do it. (not a lot, but that's OK)
Have several real friends, and I really enjoy helping folks when I can. Live in what may be one of the few places left that could be called "Real America'".
I'm a happy man.

Blessed but try to work hard, hardly think I deserve the blessing I have.
Retired, but working hard... doing something I love (working on guns, putting new barrels on that shoot well, helping others to get their rifles into as best as possible shape so they are happy with how they shoot).
Wish those around me were in the same condition - humans have problems understanding what will make them happy.
Lord willing (and forgiving) it will stay that way.

No colonoscopy for a few years, that's all behind me now. I saw what you did there.

Good life. Wife and I love each other. Both of us have good jobs and look to retire in a couple of years. Very little debt. Both of us have good health for our ages.

All I will say is I know there are a lot of other folks out there a lot worse off than I am.
And, along with that............... I'm sure glad I haven't gotten all I deserved.

In it is death and all you seek

For those that were wondering how my day turned out, you should know that it DID in fact rain but only between hole 13 and 14. I was able to hide out in the schitter until things passed. My wife gifted me this 64* wedge. It's great. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/gSSTbZU.jpg)

Without a doubt, I'm in the best situation, in every way I can think of save one, of my entire life. That one thing is my age, and I'm dealing with that pretty well too.
Anyone that says they don't know what they'd do if they retired has no imagination.
What fresh Hell is this?
