So....it appears that I am officially retired.....or is it just unemployed, and too lazy to look for another job. 
Anyway, as I approach the end of my second week of freedom, I wonder how I ever found time to work. I'm running constantly getting stuff done. Haven't even done anything fun yet.... just trying to get caught up on some of the stuff I ignored for the past 35+ years.
Also busy getting ready to tackle the TAT the first of May. I guess doing that has been fun.

and....it's ginormous!!!! 
Didn't look it on my phone, but it is on my computer screen.
Anyone know how to get them to load a bit smaller? (other than going though 50 steps to resize...I want to dump from my phone directly on here).

So... haven't posted here in a while. Finally recovered from my TAT trip, and getting out on the bike again a bit.

On to more current stuff...
Yesterday, the wife and I jumped on the bikes and went in search of the historic "rock cut". I'd heard of it, but had never seen it personally.
More info here: https://lostinmichigan.net/the-rock-cut-in-the-upper-peninsula/
So.... the forecast was for gradual clearing....I'm happy to report it poured rain the entire time, and then the fog rolled in. It was a balmy 59 degrees.
We eventually slogged our way down 50+ miles of dirt trails and finally found our destination.
Look closely at the first pic and notice that spec in the red jacket and white helmet. That's my wife. Gives a sense of scale.

Thank goodness for reserve!

Looks like the season is pretty much over here. Already had some snow. Leaves are all down. Temps in the 20's last week. Forecast doesn't look very promising.
It's gonna be a long winter.
