    Back to Work

    Today was my second day back to work after 8 months of being laid up.
    I have allways liked what I do and it felt good to get back at it. I will only be working 2 days a week but that's enough to make me feel usefull and still give me time to be retired.
    I do miss the shop though. What would be shop time will now be photohraphy time, I have been ignoring that hobby for some time.
    The new apartment is nice and everyone that lives here is friendly. We have a very nice dining room and the food is excellent, far better than I would cook. Weekly maid service is another plus.
    My house sold on Wednesday for 10% over asking price and was only on the market for 5 days

      Congrats on getting back with the living. And congrats on selling at more than the asking price. That's unusual around here. If you have to stay out of the shop, I can't think of a better place to be than behind the lens.

        Great to hear it Dick. I'm looking forward to some pictures of that side of the world. Wish it wasn't 3000 miles from here to there. Pat

          Dick,
          Great to see you back and hear tht you are back to doing what you like to do everyday. Selling your house for over list is a great break; it must have been a very desirable house and location.

                Glad to hear that you're doing better. You have been missed and don't forget us. You have a wealth of experience to impart to goobers like me - LOL! Have fun with the camera too. Have you taken the digital leap or are you still burning silver?
                Blessings,

                  I made the switch to digital. I am shooting a Nikon D-70 with a Nikon 18 - 70 mm and a Nikon 70 - 300 mm lenses. No more burning silver for me.

                    Nice equipment! Seems like things are looking up, and congratulations on selling the house quick and for more than you asked. Hope the new job will treat you well.

                        Glad to hear you're back. With a view like that you may not miss WW that much.

                            Glad to see you up and running, Dick. I'd love to have a view like that out my back door. All I see are railroad tracks.
