I have been waiting for the park to get the Wifi back running but the Techs are not doing a very good job. Not sure what the problem is but I have gone back to posting with my I pad.
We have been really enjoying this retired life. I found that I can put things off to do them latter and no one really cares!
Yesterday we went to Wally World and while we were there we found a bike on sale and I decided to purchase it. Sherri and Kris both have bikes and ride all over the park leaving me in the dust. I will now be able to ride with them and get some exercise in doing so.
Also while wondering around aimlessly we found Kris the R C helicopter he has been wanting for his birthday. Being so incredibly stupid as we are we went ahead and got him an early present. After getting it home and putting it together I tried it out. Wow...I should have got me one too. Now can you imagine flying a helicopter inside a MH? Yes you have the picture. OK so even though it says that this is an inside toy I make the command decision to take er outside where there is more room.
I placed it on the picnic table and told everyone to stand back. I slammed down on the rotor speed control which must have stuck because the next thing I knew the heli was 100 foot in the air and heading down the road!
Well to make a long story short she came to rest on a neighbors MH. Of course the the neighbor is not at home. So here I go with my ladder and climb up beside the MH so I can peer over and see where it is. I found it laying behind one of the domes so I had Kris hand me a broom up. Here I am this old fat man standing on the top rung of a ladder a broom in one hand holding on to the MH with the other! Got it... now getting down is never as easy as getting up we all know that but we don't think about that as we are going up...do we. All I could think about was me falling and breaking every bone in my body. Thank heavens I got down safely but learned a good lesson.
The rest of the day was spent riding my new bike. Tomorrow I will put my old man seat on it so I can ride in comfort. I have no idea what those skinny seats on these bikes are good for? Anyway I got a wide track seat for me and I think it will make for a better ride.
Sure hope they get the Wifi here working...

Hope the WiFi is up and running soon and enjoy that new bike...that is always fun!
I'm glad you're being a kid again along with Kris. What fun!!
Retirement is awesome, there's no doubt about it.
You made me laugh out loud soooo hard that I scared the dog!
