  It does happen, Renée , my wife, is retiring as of September 13th 2013, yep, a friday to boot. It is quite fitting though, as our first date was on a friday 13th, we got married on a friday 13th, and have had many other friday 13th hapenings.  :D
  She had a month of accumulated vacation time coming to her and we are going to take a week or so and go camping by the St Laurence seaway at  Cap-Chat Qc, she just wants to be beside the salt water and collect sea shells, rocks and what ever washes up on shore that could be interesting.. Fine by me, I'll drive there, there's good fishing over that way. ;D
  We are leaving in the morning and will try to be back for her retirement on the 13th   :D 
  I was told that the ''to do'' list is in the making while on this trip, she wants to take, I get the feeling the list will be long.  :o   :D

  Here is the rig pinned and ready to go( only needs to be unplugged )

       

 

               

 

   We are bringing the laptop with us and we will try to post some pics as we go. Ya I have camera and batteries this time.  :)

All I can say is enjoy!  real happy for the both of you!  sounds like 13 is a good number for you!  kinda weird though,  I guess its just a number, but a good one for you two,   david
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Marcell,

Take a couple of extra pads and pencils to take notes for all the new/old stuff that you will have to do or fix.

Here is a null hypothesis  - Retirement does not equal remodeling.  I havde proven it to be WRONG  :-\.

Enjoy your time away, Marcel.
And be quick to make up your own to-do list.

After all, she is the one retiring.   ;) ;D

 Ray,
  I ain't retired for saye, but... I had a work related accident back in sept. 1990 that left me with an allmost useless left arm. Was journeymen Ironworker with welding tickets. Make a long story short i was able to have my last physio rendez-vous in 1995, they where able to help me get use of my arm back, they did a super job. Downfall, that was the end of my Ironworkers career.  :-\  Brightside, I got me a mill to play with  ;D :D :D ( Renée is a physio.. but she stayed clear of the arm incident)  She took care of a broken leg ankle ten years earlier....  on a friday the 13th

Hey congratulations. You could just keep on moving south, just about in time to attend the chickin crispin at Magicman's place. From there, it's just a short hop down to the cajun country, where you would be right at home...

All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Marcel...swing south when you are there..i'm only about 2 1/2hrs away...oh by the way the fishing has been terrible  :D HAAHAHAHA

Congratulations on the retirement! I retired 14 yrs ago, but after 3 weeks I started driving school bus, then I started making maple syrup, then I bought a Peterson mill. Now I have less time than when I worked 70-80 hrs many weeks each year before I retired.
Joan and I also got married on a Friday the 13th, Friday October 13, 1967. It was not bad luck at all, but extremely good luck.

Congrats to the misses and  you too for the anniversary!  Enjoy the time off and playing. 
With those sounds of lapping waves leading to sleep don't start sawing logs at night or Renee may not take kindly!

   St Laurence seaway valley , just east of Quebec city Qc.

   
         

 

  It is getting wider, but one can still see the North Shore some.



 
  Fog rolled in as we where getting near Matane Qc. We where an hour away from our destination.



 

  Here the St Laurence is wide enough that one can not see the north shore. (Low tide this morning. )



 

  Weather this morning in Cap-Chat is great suny with a brease...  :) 



 

  The Renée with Balou out treasure hunting this morning!!!
