Photography, Travel and Retirement

We woke up to a new task challenge this morning. Your mission, Parental Unit, should you decide to accept it, is to find and acquire a car seat, compatible with the stroller we recently purchased.

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. View more posts

Fresh fish and chips sounds good, even before 9am! Glad the car seat was acquired without having to drive further, that was some serious effort you put in. It’s crazy how much the strollers cost these days!

Any excuse to visit Go Fish is a good excuse. Will be back there again soon. We do like challenges and this one was a doozy. Hard to believe how much baby transportation costs. We did a trip around NZ and Hawaii back in 1988 with just a collapsible Umbroller. This would never pass today’s ULC/CSA safety standards. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Allan

By the title I thought it was going to be a comedy of errors in installing a car seat not purchasing! 😊

Tracking one down was half the fun. The installation fun was the next day. Thanks for reading Maggie. Allan
