The government didn't tell me, if I make too much money before I retire, they will claw my pension back. Had I known that, I would have retired in June or July the following year

Yeah - #$%^& thieves. I got done over when I went to PNG in 2000. Could have started work in December but decided to start in January so ended up paying tax in Aus as well as PNG. I spent over 183 days in Aus in that financial year so had to pay.

Reminds me there used to be a bumper sticker in Canada that said something like Do not steal. The government hates competition.

Nothing like Schlitz, another proud Milwaukee product lol.

 

[Zippythehog]

With a name like Schlitz, it's got to be good.

During the many brewery strikes in the '70s we were forced to buy cases of U.S water posing as beer, none were heard of before. One was Schmitt. We had to buy three cases to make it through the weekend. After three weeks we swapped to wine gala kegs; think of them as gallon size juice boxes for adults

Got to see this beauty today in Sligo.
The 'Galeon Andalucia', a replica of the galleons used by the Spanish Armada, 24 or so of which were wrecked in severe weather off the coast of Ireland in 1588.

Took ALOT of photos all over it, so if anyone needs any details, give us a yell.

 

[fubar57]

Way cool. For some reason I thought the Armada ships were a lot bigger

 

[A4K]

Me too Geo. She's not much bigger than the Batavia replica I was on in Sydney in 2000.

After a nerve wracking two days, HR was able to get payroll's error rectified. Those people in payroll are A-HOLES. I had to go all the way to the district superintendent. Good thing I worked for him two years before he moved up. I am picking up my check tomorrow and the rest will be direct deposits.

 

[Viking1066]

Went and picked up my check. Now very content. All the planes are ready for painting.

Last week I found a post on social media from a metal detectorist who found a regimental button associated with an ancestor's unit and timeframe, and in a place where my ancestor served. I contacted him and offered to pay for the button but, when I explained my reason, he would have none of it. He posted the button to me without asking a penny.

It's good to know there are still some truly kind and generous people on this messed up little planet.

That's awesome, Mark

I read that one. Glad they could identify him and put a name on his cross.
