When I was 14, I painted house address numbers for $2 a house. Most gave us $5, so I was making a few hundred a day. I then began delivering furniture for my neighbor's business, and worked there for 4 years, making $2 and hour, until I got my haircut, when the boss gave me a $.25 bonus. I graduated high school and worked at an auto parts chain, where I began ordering the parts for 5 different businesses. From there, I got a job driving forklifts at a grocery warehouse. Got bored, went to the police academy for 6 months and became a reserve cop for one year. One year later, they hired me full time, so back to the police academy for another 6 months, and retired as a cop. I got bored while being a cop and started a handyman business, which did real good. Now, I do handyman work, but never for pay, just for friends.
Wow, that is my life story. I'm headed out to my police retiree luncheon in an hour, then mowing my lawn and doing some trimming. It is suppose to be 95 degrees today.
Oh, gotta tell all, for the last 19 days, we've been eating dinner around 5PM, and after our food settles, we have been walking 4 miles every evening. I look great! I lost 3 ounces of weight, but after applying 4 ounces of band aids for the blisters on my feet, I only have a net gain of one ounce!
Getting old ain't for sissies!
