Hard to believe but it’s been a year since I retired! I started thinking about what I’ve done over the past year, and decided it would be fun to do a summary of the past year here. So, lucky you, you get to read it!
My last day of work was July 28, 2017. The next week I had visitors for about a week. Later in August I flew to Reno and then drove to Bend OR to see the total eclipse.
Over Labor Day weekend I took my first road trip, to McMinnville TN via Roanoke. Saw the Coffee Pot House, Dinosaurland, Natural Bridge.
Later in September I flew to Boise, stayed there for a week, then rented a car and drove through Reno and Truckee on the way to the Bay Area. Stayed in the Bay Area for a bit, then up to Truckee for 2 nights, then back to the Bay Area where I caught a flight to Phoenix. Got home in October.
November did the Hike Across Delaware.
The rest of November-December, did stuff around the house.
January flew to England. Early February flew to Norway and took a 6 day cruise in the fjords. Flew back to England. Flew home in mid-February.
March FINALLY replaced the original upstairs carpet!
April had a visitor.
May trip out to Cali.
July – well, you probably just read about that trip …
Sorry – I got tired of putting the summary together, which is why it ended up so terse at the end. You can always go back and re-read previous posts if you want more details! Ha ha!
Anyway, I just learned about something so I’m going to tell you about it – Tesloop – https://www.tesloop.com/.
With Tesloop, you ride in a Tesla like a shuttle. They are driven by ‘Tesloop Pilots.’ Right now the rides cover the areas around Los Angeles, San Diego, and Palm Springs. You either pay for a seat in the car, or for the entire car. There are quite a few pick up / drop off locations. I might have to try this when I am out in Long Beach next year!
I think that is all for this post. Talk to you soon!
