My To Do List Is Getting Longer
« on: June 11, 2008, 11:59:25 am »
Got the to do list down from 50 items to 42 last week. Now the list is growing. On my way home from inspection on Mon the speedometer crapped out. Then the emergency brake locked up in the driveway on Tues. Fixed the emergency brake. The Bentley manual came in handy. Who knows what I will find to fix today. Now I know where the phrases, fixer upper and a work in progress came from.

You are so right Jack, and it gives us retirees something else to do.

Jack dad doesn't take naps... he just takes a break from working on the car to mow the lawn.
Just wait till mom retires dad, you will have no time to do anything!
