-1°C here this morning. Looks like it's going to be another warm day. I may go to the range and shoot some rimfire with my friends.

Once again, it is +1 in the Shuswap. We have a skinny blanket of the white gold on the ground and it is very skinny.

It should melt and I don’t think I will need to shovel.

The retirement part is the good part. the struggle to get there is the trying part. Should have been a smooth transition but due to the incompetence of some it makes it a struggle.
Once I get things all lined out it will be peaches and cream.
In the mean time I will go to the range today and shoot my non Banned firearms before the Turd bans them.

I thought I had everything under control. I changed school jurisdictions (from Govt of the NWT to Saskatchewan) and according to HR everything will be easy as they had done this many times and it is just a paper work transfer. I personally knew the HR person and she was one of those workers that got things done. Well, 7 years later ( at this point in time, I needed 3 more years to retire and that was the end of my 30 years) I was sitting in a PD workshop on retirement. I thought I heard the speaker say the SK pension board didn’t pay until you reached 65. There was my curve ball.....

I got the wheels in motion. To make a long story short, I had to resign from my SK teaching job, go back to the NWT and finish out my 30 years up north. I also had to buy back or top up the 7 years that I was away from the NWT to make my life happy upon retirement (the NWT pensions are quite sweet with the much higher wages in the north. It was a 3 year stint in the high Arctic to get to my 30 years and my goal of early retirement. Good thing our kids had flew the nest and there was just Bev and I.
Ron, you will get there and it will all work out.

Retirement is something that everyone looks forward to. Just crossed that bridge Sept 31 this year. Was so happy to not have to deal with all the fucktardsry at work. Well my first week after retirement was a living hell trying to undo all the fucktardery of filling out paperwork on line at work, I was told that it was going to be a smooth transition into retirement. Smooth my ass. The way things were going I wouldn’t see my first pension cheque until Jan 1 2025. So I had to fight my way and got my first pension check two months after retirement. So now I feel like things are on the right track. Wrong, Now I’m getting e-mails that my benefit premium are over due and if not paid my benefits will be terminated. Incompetent bastards never deducted my premiums from my Chequers. Anther week long battle to sort that out, good I got this sorted out, I can finally enjoy retirement. Wrong. They missed the first month premiums and are now threatening to cut of my benefits if not paid by xxxx date. Well the fight is on again. So finally we come to the agreement that I will pay them by Cheque.(they don’t do EMT or CC). So Nov12 I Pay $27.10 to have the cheque sent Xpress post so as to beat the impending Postal strike. Guess what, got Phu*ed on that one, Cheque is hung up in the Postal strike, that fight is still on going.
Ok so I’m sure you guys are thinking that that that is a rough go into retirement, and you would be correct,
But wait it gets worse
So I have 90 days from my retirement to move all my savings in the company program out of the company program into my personal program. I got that ball rolling as soon as I retired. Should be an easy transition, Guess again. By the time that ball starts rolling we are getting close to the Postal strike, Today I fix out that they sent 4 cheques from my company financial institution to my personal financial institution is Canada post 6 days after the Strike notice. Needless to say that I’m a little stressed after looking for my lost retirement savings.
I was trying to quit drinking, but I think you can all agree that I have a reason to have a drink tonight .
Sorry for unloading on you guys but I have to , specially learning that the Turd made more of my firearms into prohibitions.

seems about right! everytime I count on something, ch!t happens! good luck on the retirement!
