I also enjoy good mysteries, westerns and action adventure books like the Tom Clancy series. Strangely enough, I really enjoyed the Harry Potter series. For a "kids" book series, it was well written, had action adventure and mystery and while not science fiction, it had fantasy. I may have to try some of those but have never gotten into those. I guess my requirements would be what ever tells a good tale. On a scale of 1 to 10, Romance would rank about 12.

Congrats on the retirement!



If you want to try out some fantasy books, then let me know...I can recommend some...they are my main stay of books that I read. I will admit that it generally does not take super writing to entertain me so I have a LOT that might not be considered "good" by others, but I do have some favorites that I do believe are well written.

Well, that's a new one!

Thanks, I have already had a phone call from a friend who knows me too well, telling me to get off the computer and get out and about. I do have some erands to run this morning, not the least of which is the Grocery Store.

[coastie65]

As much as I don't like going to the Grocery Store, I'd be willing to trade chores. I have a backyard 75' x 100' full of high and now wet grass to cut. Not quite to the point of needing a Bush Hog, but close. :D coastie

[rgreen4]

I have the bush hog, but the tractor is down. But with the drought, it's not priority one yet.

That reminds me of an old Southern Story.

The telephone company had just hired on a new technician and he had received his first training and was now on his first real day on the job. He was just finishing up a routine house call, when his dispatcher called and sent him out to a rural part of the county to repair a connection box that had been chewed up by a bush hog. He went out there, took one look at the box, backed slowly up to his van, got in and called his dispatcher. He said, "You sent me out by myself, I'm going to need some protection." The dispatcher then asked "Why?" The technician said, "I need some one to watch out for that hog, he must be huge, that box is all torn up and from the look of the cuts, he has sharp teeth"

did you forget you could sleep in this morning?

[coastie65]

LOL, That was a good one. Yeah, I guess even if the tractor was up, all you'd accomplish is stirring up a lot of red Georgia dust and little else. We crossed out of the drought situation up here, but they say it wouldn't take much to put us back into it again. We,ve been getting showers ona fairly regular basis, but usually barely enough to keep the dust down as we have have been getting missed by the T'Storms. coastie

[coastie65]

Hey rtfire, I'm also retired, and I'm up no later than 7:30 in the morning and usually earlier. :D coastie

Thats is the best option . :D

[rtfire1]

true Coastie, but today is not your first monday after the big day. On most weekends I am up at 6:30 durring the week 5:30-6:00 if I sleep in or the dogs don't bark because they need to go out.

[coastie65]

I have always been an early riser since my days in the service. When I was still working, I was up at 5:00 AM every weekday and on the Saturdays I worked.

[rgreen4]

No, I did sleep in. I got up at 8:30. There were 5 four-legged alarm clocks going off. I can ignore the yaps to an extent, but when Clifford kicks in and the walls and windows ratttle, it time to get up. Nothing like the bark of a deep chested very large Doberman to wake you and any dead that may be around.

About two weeks ago we went through a spell like that. I came out of Wal-Mart one evening and it was raining, and there was a young man next to me with a very short crew cut who turned to me and asked does it always rain here? I laughed and said to him that he hadn't been here long. He replied he'd been here 5 days (I presume from that and the haircut - Moody AFB just a few miles north) and said that no, were still in a drought situation and no one was complaining about the rain. Our last real rain was the next day.

Yea, if I mow the grass right now, I'd just kill it.
