Today was the appointment to replace my car's windshield. The crack from the stone was slowly growing so good thing I hadn't waited on it. Dropped off the car and walked down to the Family Store (maybe 1/2 a mile). Turns out that is the place where all the guys congregate for breakfast before going off for the day. Talk included getting ready for the golf course to open, hunting turkey (there is a spring season), and farming. After breakfast I walked up to the Toad House for a latte. Talk there was a little the same and a little different - plans for fishing (it is the fishing opener this weekend) and people's various operations. I sat back and went through the ballot for the Honeywell Board - looking up each candidate and writing 'yes', 'no', or 'maybe' next to their name. Will get on-line and vote when I'm back home. Next I went through the documentation showing how the Honeywell pension fund is doing. While I was still working there the company stopped offering pensions. Those of us vested were offered to continue our pensions or take a buy-out when we left. I still remember Co-Worker Suresh coming up to me and saying he would never speak to me again if I didn't stay w/ the pension fund. He was right as he often was when it came to finances. I got a call that the car was almost completed so walked on back to the auto shop. Finished a few more errands before going home. It froze last night and probably will again tonight. Hope the peonies can hang in.
