I am in the process of going through pictures and preposting again. I want to get ahead so that there is consistent publication for those who do drop by and so that this blog will continue to be active.
Full disclosure… I’m cheating. The images that I’m publishing here in August will appear in September in Haw Creek Out ‘n About and the images that I’m posting in Out n’ About in August will appear here in September. The main difference will be the content. This blog is about anything and everything that I happen to want to write about, so the textual posts will be wide ranging. In the other blog, I’m just doing the outdoors, travel and camping.
Work… I’ve got a little over 5 weeks and I’ll be leaving my current employment location…. again.
Back to retirement!
For those that may not remember, I retired from Arkansas Nuclear One back in the beginning of 2007. Then, after a year off, I went back to work as a contractor…. at Arkansas Nuclear One. My desk is in an office 4 doors down from where my office used to be — and one of the doors opens into a stairway. Coming up out of the stairway yesterday, out of years of habit, I turned to the right and started to go into the first office — my old office, where I worked had my desk for about 15 years. The building is about 28 years old and, the way that my career worked out, I’ve spent more time working in it that anyone else, by far. I got a job in the Training Department in April, 1983. There’s one guy still working there that was assigned to the department the same time I was, but he ended up going back to the plant for several years. I’ve got a working session with him tomorrow afternoon.
After this contract is up, we’ll be traveling to Wisconsin to visit our daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. We’re planning to be gone about three weeks.
For the second time this year we have the opportunity to see them here in Arkansas. Unfortunately, both times have been because of health issues with our son-in-law’s parents. His dad had a heart attack in the spring and, this week, his mother had a liver transplant in Little Rock. We’ll be in Little Rock Saturday and Sunday to visit and to take our grandkids so that our daughter and son-in-law will be able to spend whatever time they want at the hospital. We’re planning on taking them to supper and a kids appropriate movie on Sunday before we come back home.

Well, that’s a good plan to keep the blogs active. I like looking at your pics but I always forget to check the other site. I think it is just because I have this one in my reader since it is the one I first found you at. But I will have to do some updating of my reader anyway. Wow - retiring again, huh? LOL. I don’t think you get as big a party for the second retirement.

teeni - no party at all…. I’m just a contractor.
Maybe they’ll celebrate me being gone after I’m gone.
Just kidding. The guys in the the trenches, the one’s doing the work, were saved from quite a bit of long hours and after normal working hours by me being here. I think there’s a chance I might be back.
