Hey! Benji, the Wonder Dog here. You don’t think I’m gonna let the old coot tell my whole vacation story, do you? I got a voice! I can speak, given arf the chance.
This completes the posts from Photo Drop 2, as the media file on this free site is all full.
I am breaking this trip at this point to bring you another Analogue Adventures post from my original Photo Drop site, which will complete the posts on that site (also full) before moving on to my next free site. This 1 Gig of media storage on free WordPress sites is really cramping my style. Thanks for staying with me.
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.

You have so many wonderful photos of Benji, and looks like he had a great time! Life is sure better with a dog 🙂 Thanks for sharing and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx
I am sure most readers wondered where he was in my other posts. He asked me to hold the photos so he could do his own post, so I had to put them on paws. He did enjoy the vacation as much as the rest of us did. Thanks for reading Aiva. Allan
A good dog day indeed, always appreciate Benji’s perspective. A fantastic day for him with mucho dirt, sunshine, snuggles and rolling. I hope nobody got taken to court.
All was good for the old Benj. He kept things real and it was so funny to watch him digging and rolling in the sand. He is a real beach bum. When I get back to the rest of the West Coast trip in 3 weeks or so, he will be back. Thanks for reading Leighton. Allan
