Oldsmokey Grows Blue Cheese & Blueberry With Promix

[oldsmokey]

Wow what some beautiful country. I love the outdoors! Plants are looking awesome as well. When are you going to flip them to 12 /12 (hope I haven't ask you that yet lol)?

Yes it is beautiful! Probably flip in a couple weeks or so when I am happy with the plant shape and size.

Excellent. Late to the party but I brought my chair! Happy growing! And love the waterfalls!! I did a 3 day mountain bike trip to Iceland and was fortunate to see a bunch of awesome falls and glaciers. Cheers.

Welcome and party's just starting. That sounds like an awesome trip to Iceland. Used to do quite a bit of mountain biking myself where I live there's all kinds of excellent trails within an hour's drive from my home. Unfortunately I only do easy rides now got a bad knee and some metal in my femur plantar fasciitis in both feet. Some of that is from old age Some from abusing my body when I was younger. Let me see if I can find a couple of mountain biking pictures for you.

Wow those are some epic rides did you race? Your trip to Iceland looks amazing. Anytime you need ropes to hang onto and Cary your bike I am in wait wait I forgot I can't do that anymore.

Love the falls and mountain ranges!! I hope you can keep yourselves busy now that you won’t be camping, Smokey!!
Your garden looks amazing. I’m thinking of doing some blue cheese next. I’m interested in how it turns out for you!

 

[oldsmokey]

I am officially unemployed just finished shutting my business down last week. Keeping busy isn't a problem for me usually. Thanks DAB they are coming along. I have had good luck with Barney's farm in the past and am expecting similar results.

Stay Medicated

Sorry you had to shut your business down!! That sucks!!

Enjoy your retirement, Smokey!
Good time for it, I'd say with all the "stuff" going on right now....
IF you're retiring...If you're going to keep working somewhere else, enjoy that too!

Thanks probably take some time off then get back to work. Not easy to find a job when your in the mid 50's.

when your in the mid 50's.

Sorry about that- I thought you were older...but I guess "Middle Aged Smokey"would be an odd name...

 

[oldsmokey]

I guess your perspective on that depends on your age some would say I am old some might say otherwise. But I would like to work another 5-10 years or I will have to change my retirement plans.

I retired at 62- not planned ,but I got phased out at work- Mrs.C. panicked, but I had a plan...
My dad passed without ever touching his retirement account - When I quit working I told MrsC that that wasn't going to be the case in our house- that's what it's for,and we're going to use it...
We aren't big spenders, so we only used a little of it before my social security kicked in..
And we're both cheapskates, so that helped too

I agree if you work your whole life for retirement you don't want to waste it. You don't know what life has in store for you next. I could retire now if I had to. If I could work another 5-10 would be nice but we will see what fait has in-store for me.

Happy semiretirement. I retired 5 years ago at 59 by choice, and am happy about it. Puttering around the yard, taking walks, and growing our favorite plant.

Its funny how you imagine what people look like from how/what they write. Then you see a picture, or actually meet them and the reality blows your mind... you just blew my mind.

What an amazing area. "I want to go to there".
