Catch up

This is the new kat, Keeko.(Oops this is Shoko)
Well looking back on my last post of 5 years ago, a lot ha happened, we moved homes, to a newer house, we lost Keeko the last picture in my previous post. We got Shoko (Little one in Japanese). I got steady work after the job I mentioned in the oil sands, I went to work for Peter Kiewit Sons for 4 years, and worked on a Run of the River job here in BC, the was transfered back to the oil sands at FortMcMurray, Alberta.

Retirement and other stories

Well it has been a while since I was on here, it will take a while to catch up. I have been busy working towards retirement, or semi-retirement. It occurred a couple of weeks back, I was laid off from my full time job, not that I was unhappy about that. My wife and I had already decided that when the job finished I would spend some more time at home so here I am.
The last few years have been busy and I was away form home a lot, but the up side it was good for my retirement fund.
The big news was in November / December, My wife Jean and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary by going to Hawaii for 2 weeks, more on that later.
