Saw it yesterday for a second. Looked away and lost it. Finally see it again today!

"When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now ..."

Brew on

If it is not too personal a question; are most of you guys retired? maybe this should be in drunkin thoughts, but here I am. [;

I thought that might have been taken in Saint Marks Square but the building to the right doesn't look correct.
So, maybe Brussels?

That's my guess too.

Thought so. Quite sure I've stood right about where they're drinking.

In 2019 my boss pissed me off so I quit and took a year off to work on our new (to us)house in the woods. A year later I was talking to several companies about going back to work, but Covid hit, I was eligible for my SS, so I retired. Best decision ever.

My boss pisses me off regularly, but then again, I'm self employed. Never did learn how to run this business without it running me, however, there is only so much more I can take.

I feel there is a large portion of those here who are retired or nearly so.

Meanwhile, I go to work in order to recuperate from all the work I do at home.

 

[day_trippr]

I'm on my second retirement. First one didn't take cuz I ran out of home projects after a few years and got bored so I did the design consulting thing for almost a decade. I'm pretty sure this time it's going to stick

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

I'm not even close, 25 more years in the workforce then maybe.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

With a little luck I might make it to retirement. The boys turn 18 when I turn 60, and they have been aging me in tripet-years since they were born. Adding in those extra will make me 66 this year.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Wow, I guess I did the opposite. My girls are 12 and 14 so now is not a fun time haha... but I'm 39 and wife is 37, so ours will be out of the house when we're in our mid 40s

Semi. Corporate sold off restaurants to a franchising group and shut down HQ. During COVID. Tried to find something in BI/IT but as soon as they saw I got a Masters in Physics (impressed them) in 1985 (made them run away), and I could start SS, I did.

I thought there was a whole thread for this kinda thing?

Yeah, I look at that image and I hear Also Sprach Zarathustra in my head.

<And see a monolith orbiting Jupiter...>

 

[BongoYodeler]

I retired, for the second time, in August 2022.

Yeah, my daughter is 10 this year and I am not looking forward to those years...

Gainfully employed since age 7, paying income tax since age 10, catastophically injured on the job and forcibly 'retired' at age 46.... The word 'sedentary' never belonged in a sentance with my name, but everything I lived for is now painful or out of reach.
Now that I'm done being depressing; Back to the Random Pictures:
Here's where I'm at with my very slow build of an experimental dual-concentric CFC:

Ok, I understand most everything for that build, except the purpose of the small whiffle ball.

Not to be too pedantic, but I'm pretty sure this person is only actually standing in two states.

And while you *can* be in 4 states at once at Four Corners, and I have, you *do* have to use hands and feet.
Or stradle the lines.

Or use your ballet pointe shoes and stand on the direct intersection of the 4 states.

I did not do that.

I had to stop wearing my pointe shoes. Nasty plantar fasciitis.

I’m happy with my boss.

This is not my boss.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

This is an AI image of my boss, note the strange looking hands.

 

[ehall]

those are awesome guitarist's hands!

Not to be too picky, but modern surveying puts the actual spot several hundred yards from that spot, Or does it? here's an interestin explanation of the issue.
