we went to Sth America.

I was wondering if one person would miss me :)

It was about ten years ago that I made my first post here.
This is my last post here or anywhere else on usenet.

Last month was my first year as a retired person. That anniversary date
was a good time to reflect on what I was doing with my life and where I
wanted to go next.

Fifteen years ago I moved from the city to the country and never
regretted the move. I feel I have a very good system down for gardening
and maintaining my home, yard and taking care of my animals. Since
joining the Master Gardeners program three years ago, I have found my
local MG program has been my resource for new and exchanging information
on gardening.

I have always had a strong desire to keep learning new things. Chess
clubs, Amateur Radio, Ball Room Dancing, Gardening, Cooking and trying
my hand at the first stock market by buying a couple dairy cows. Now it
is time to feed my first joys, math and physics.

I purchased some new toys: a digital oscilloscope, digital counter,
auto-variable transformer, low powered lasers, protoboards and a few
extra toys. Thirty years ago during my university days I had ideas, but
never had the time to see if the ideas pan out. Now I have the time to
see how the world works and create my own small scale scientific
experiments. I have to scratch that itch and see if I can create
something new. Success is extremely low and my mind is not as sharp as
it once was, but I have to try.

So what gives is time. I use to spend a lot of time here and on other
newsgroups. In the beginning I have learned allot about gardening and
not just about gardening here, but also the philosophical views of
gardening.

Like a kid in a candy store, I am off to try something new. So this is
my last post. Thanks to everyone for the fun times.

Enjoy Life FarmI... and to others here :)

Well I did miss you, hence my question - and now you give me the sad news

They are two 'joys' that sem to have passed me by and which I have never
been able to get on with. I keep saying that I'm inumerate, but that's nto
quite true, as my daily maths used to calculate change from purchases and do
to quick sums works well. anything else is beyond me.

I purchased some new toys: a digital oscilloscope, digital counter,
auto-variable transformer, low powered lasers, protoboards and a few

I have no idea what any of those things are but I hope you gain great joy,
satisfaction and pleasure from the owning and using of them.

:-)) Having now been 'retired' for some years, you will become increasingly

And the same to you NadR. I shall miss you and I hope that you will
reconcider and sometimes pop in to post. All the best.

yeah, i was looking forwards to more moomoo
stories and cheese making stories.

but, as it goes, it does take time to sit
and write. i'd rather write and read than
watch the tube so here i am until i'm
unplugged.

hopefully new people will keep showing up.

it's a class of so many hours, you pay a fee and
get materials and then have to volunteer so many
hours for community service.

yep, many people can do sums and such, but
when it comes to formulas and some of the
abstractions they can't quite make the jump.
i know a few people who can't quite grasp
even simple algebra, but if i sit down with
them long enough sooner or later i can find
a metaphor that will give them a glimpse.

sounds like a riot to me. :) kid in a candy store...

same here, people always ask me if i'm ever bored,
but i know that feeling and it's really the one that
says it's time to take a nap.

bye Nad, enjoy the toys. remember don't point
the lasers at the eyes to see if they're working
and don't test for current with your tongue.


And the same to you NadR. I shall miss you and I hope that you will
reconcider and sometimes pop in to post. All the best.
