No More

This is, or rather was it!

Today was The Fuzz's last day on the job.

He and His Sweetie went out for dinner to celebrate.

But now it is time to pack up for the Beach!

One

Yes,

Only One More Day!

 

Two

That's right.  

 Only two work days left.  

The Fuzz is getting short, 

Very short.

Today they had a farewell luncheon for him at The City.  People said nice things about him, and ate fish.  There was also a cake with a picture of The Fuzz next to his garbage truck.
This picture was somehow copied on the cake with frosting.  Isn't technology wonderful.  Perhaps it was only printed onto the frosting.  Either way, it is just a bit scary.
But The Fuzz and His Sweetie were given the Piece-mit-Pix to take home.  It actually tasted pretty good.
But there are still 2 more days to go before The Fuzz is actually free.  And then, Let's go to the Beach!

Last Week

It's Finally Here!

Yes, this is it.  Thursday will be The Fuzz's Last Day on this job.  It will be a little weird to not have to get up at 04:30 most mornings, but he may be able to adjust.
 
But this will leave more time for other things, like going to Coffee Shops with His Sweetie.  They have been practicing for this on Fridays since The Fuzz went to those 4 - 10hr work days.  

This past week they sat out at one of the sidewalk tables and enjoyed the passing scene.  

Here's a bit of the street scene here in Our Fair City.  It was kinda quiet, but picked up a bit as the morning progressed.  
Ah, the beer has arrived!

Danger In the City

The Fuzz and His Sweetie went over to the Big City over the weekend to watch the Dangerous Daughter in action. 
 

This was a first for them.  The event was held at the Big University in that Big City.
They got to see a lot of T'ai chi action.
The Fuzz admits that he is not very knowledgeable about this discipline, but he did enjoy seeing it.
One of the things he enjoyed most was the Pushing Hands.   Watching this was like watching a dance.
The Fuzz is happy to report that that Dangerous Daughter collected a number of 1st & 2nd place medals.  


In other news, Time is getting short for the Old Fuzz on the job.  In one more day, there will only be one week remaining.  He has been training a replacement now for a couple of weeks.  Of course we know that no one could actually replace The Fuzz.  But we are confident that they will manage somehow, and the world will go on.

6 Left

Of course there are only 6 work days left. 
Is this till the Beach Trip?
Or,
The Fuzz's Retirement?
Actually, Both!
And today, the fifth of June, is one of the triggering events.
Well, Our Fuzz has been celebrating just a bit, so this will probably not be a long post.
He had stashed a bottle of Trader Joe's 2011 Vintage Ale just for the occasion.
It was very good.

Only 2 Weeks Left

Kitty Update

Not two, but three white Kittens.

You can see mama in the background. 

And here is a closer look.  1, 2, and 3 are, indeed, White Kitties.  But you can see Number 4 there, is not, a White Kitty.  Number 4 is little Allie, the orphan of a previous post.  It seems the Mama Kitty adopted this unfortunate, to complete her new family.  This is a good thing.

And of course The Fuzz is happy to report-

Qnly

He is getting
Short! 

Counting Down to Eight

Only

to

go!

And in other news, the cat had kittens.  There are only 2, but she has also adopted that other orphaned one.  So we have Kittens now.  The Fuzz promises to get pix up soon.

Ten

Yes, this is true.

Only 10 more workdays for The Fuzz.

And after having to catch up from Memorial Day, he's ready for some time off.

But is it "Time Off" if one is not going back?

Rescued!

The latest addition

It's just a little thing.  Young Daughter brought her (?) home from the schoolhouse the other day.  It seems that some sadistic students, had run mamma off, and were preparing to do in the little ones.  But she and a few others, managed to pull off a rescue.

 Cute thing, ain't it.

The Story

 

So what's the story here?

 

The rumors are indeed true.
After over 33 years, The Fuzz is about to give up the Garbage Business!
The way he's got it figured, he has a total of 15 actual Work Days left, God willing.
It's been an interesting time.  He started out "Pulling Garbage" years ago.  Now he is  an "Equipment Operator" with one of these marvels of engineering and automation.

Well, it's time to turn it over to the Young'uns.
The Fuzz and His Sweetie are heading into new territory here.
But first, there's those 15 more days.

Exploring

The other day, The Fuzz and His Sweetie took a walk down the road to take the air.  And of course walking is exercise too, right?
They had a good time, and even found a potential Picnic Spot and Swimming Hole. 

This little guy was down there growing with some friends.

The Fuzz is hoping to have a bit more time in the future for these things.

The Countdown has begun.

Fun at Home

Once The Fuzz and His Sweetie returned to their Home in the Woods, it was time for 

The Fun!

Here's a look at some Earrings in progress.
Of course The Fuzz was not to be outdone.  Whilst at the Bead Store, he found this cool rock.

It was just the thing to make this Necklace.
(It is also the subject of our latest Mystery Pix!)
All in all, it was a Fun Day.

More Adventure

On their way to a (relatively) near city for one of their Friday Outings, The Fuzz and His Sweetie saw these guys.  It was too much to resist, so they stopped for some pix.

Perhaps it was the excitement. 

Or perhaps they just didn't appreciate the invasion of their privacy.

But they could just be a couple of hams.

But, as you can see, they got their lazy selves  up to pose for The Fuzz. 

Once in the city, The  Fuzz and His Sweetie's first stop was the Bead Store.  The Fuzz realized that this was a dangerous move.  But in keeping with his new determination to be "adventurous", he took the plunge.  We'll have more on this later.

But by now it was time for some eats.

So they slipped into this Local Pub for a sandwich and

Beer!
There was time for one more stop.

This was at the "Crushed Olive" store.
Like the place we had visited at Christmas time, here they sell fancy Olive Oils and that tasty Balsamic Vinegar. 
Finally it was time to head back to Our Home in the Woods for a bit of relaxation.
