I've been thinking, life is short. And just working until your old enough that all you can do is moan and groan while walking around because your so old is a stupid idea.
Therefore, 30 days before I retire, I'm going to retire !! Yup, I'm shaving 30 days off my retirement date to grab the wife and kids and head out and tour the good old U.S. of A. What the hell, you only live once!I haven't had a lot of time to think about it but I think we'll leave and head over to Glacier National Park, then over to Seattle, cruise down the coast through California, pop in at Disneyland. Then over to Nevada, see Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, maybe up through Colorado and the Rocky Mountains, cruise up through South Dakota and catch Mount Rushmore and stuff.
O.K. maybe only 1/2 of America for this trip. But it will be fun as hell. One night in a hotel, then maybe a campground, then who knows what. Day after day of semi aimlessly wandering around America with NO time limits. I think 30 days is a sufficient time line to cruise around before wanting to come back home. No plans, no time limits, all fun everyday for 30 days. Who else do you know that isn't 70 years old driving around in a motor home who does this?I think everyone should do this. It's my mid life retirement tour. Why not. As I said, you only live once, might as well make it a good one!! Then when I get back I'll get busy and make an income somehow. Yeah, I know. I'm frickin' nuts! Sue me.
I just had a thought of Clark W. Griswald traveling across America in his metallic pea family truckster from the National Lampoon's "Vacation" movie. Yeah ........ this is gonna be fun!
SO, I was officially at 329 days, and now I'm at .... (drum roll) ...... 299 DAYS LEFT UNTIL RETIREMENT. WOO HOO !! These days are just flying when you cut off a chunk now and then.
I'm so happy, no one should be neutered, but just for today.

This is EXACTLY why I'm going on a tour of the USA, to get rid of all my money. I want to go to Heaven DAMMIT!

I don't know how the hell you're going to make this work but since I'm your wife, it sounds like fun! By the way, when did you start to look like Jesus???
Don't worry, mentally unstable men have been known to make the impossible possible. And I always thought I looked like Jesus, minus the beard, long hair, thin face, and halo above the head thing.
Good job on getting 30 days knocked off. Do not forget about the days you you have to pack! That should get you another 3 or 4 days. Think about it. db
You are RIGHT! Maybe I should quit this week and plan it all out for 298 days. Good thinking.
