Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

I can’t help but think only in Canada would people have a moose inflatable haha! I always laugh when people on lakes don’t know their voices carry so you can hear in on all the fun.
This was the first floating moose we had ever seen. I wonder how well made it was and if was indeed lake worthy. We do have a love affair of all things moose up here. The voices carrying are not bad, but when they play music on the water, it tends to spoil the evening for everyone else. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Allan
When you simply cannot leave for your vacation without a giant inflatable moose raft. Again, the photography is excellent, did you find out what became of the wildfire? Tackled early I hope, without too many consequences. As for the lady, I can see why, just hope that I’m no visualising things that other people aren’t seeing 😉 Now I have that song by ‘The Jam’ stuck in my head.
Where the heck do you squeeze that into your car for the trip? It was quite the surprise to see it on our little lake. The wildfire became a thing as our stay went on and burned for quite some time. Fortunately, it was in the back country and did not threaten many structures. Once it was contained, it was allowed to keep burning (part of natural forestry procedures in a National Park). Without spoiler alerts, more will be written in my coming posts. As to the Lady, we can’t believe it took until that trip for us to notice it. Maybe, it was the wine. Thanks for reading and commenting Leighton. Allan
I have never seen this one before either. It is so totally Canadian, I would have thought it came from Canadian Tire, but I can’t find it there. Guess it will remain a moosetery. Thanks for reading Aiva. Allan

I was never able to find where they bought one so large. There are lots of smaller ones on line. Thanks for reading. Allan

This is so cool, I have never seen a moose inflatable let alone one that can carry so many passengers.
