scary.
This afternoon I set down here to write a post. I was going to say we haven't talked since we said our happy new years to each other, but she did it again. You ant't gonea believe what happen next. The phone ring and I was asked what you doing? Ok She has done, done it again. What and who you ask? Never mind, forget it, I was just thinking thru my fingers.

I went back to work this week, and what a week so for. Yes retired people work. Work all the time. When I retired the last time at the end of Sept. 08, I plan to take some time off, for myself. Like weekends and holidays. I did just that, and took three weeks for the Christmas holidays. That last week I got in some real caching by hiding a new one and hunting some that I didn't find, and a few I didn't log, and on a trip to the mountains, Sunday I logged a FTF.

This week I took a stress test and it came back normal. No stress. Good for me.

At the start of last year (2008) I had no debt and some investments.
I had to buy a car in June, and then the economy turned south and carried the investments
with it. Now I am just buying what is needed and all the wants had to go south for a long vacation. So here I am getting my house in order to pay bills and working on new ways to cut corners and get the most out of the spending dollar.
OH I lost a little more ground this week. I was going to be out of a tv in Feb. because all we have is rabbit ears and just get three chanlers, due to cuts backs I made a few years ago. I got cable hookup this week and now I got one more bill each month. My tags will be due very soon too.

I won't go with out food, thats for sure, but the doctor said to cut back on the good stuff. But even the oatmeal cost a bunch.

I did save up some gas money for the past 60 days. So if it don't go all the way back up the 3.50 a gallon for a while, I can ride for a few miles.

Now while I am working out the piggy bank stuff, and get a little health problem fixed, I am going to have some fun. Geo-caching at its best, just maybe some bicyling, and some back road traveling in the fifty.

I'm ready to go camping, and my heart ( and soul ) is happy too.
