Today's retired guy jobs:

--Clearing the driveway for the first time since I got married. Clearing the driveway has always been Darwin's responsibility, and I refused to learn how to even start the snow blower so the job could never be foisted onto me. But now I'm retired and Darwin still works, so I learned to start the blower. Today, I used it for the first time. Cleared the driveway right out. One snag--the plastic ignition key dropped out of its slot somehow and the motor died. I searched and searched for the key, but couldn't find it. Fortunately, a spare was attached to the start handle and I was able to finish the job.

--Clearing out many bathroom drawers. Our bathroom drawers (including a big set of drawers in the closet) are crammed with stuff, to the point where it was getting hard to find something we needed. Today, I brought a trash box into the room and went through every drawer. I tossed all the old meds, mosquito repellent, sun blocker, and more, more, more. Then I rearranged what was left into an organizational pattern that made sense. So much nicer.

--Ordered some drawer sorters online to keep the bathroom drawers orderly. Also tracked down and ordered a couple more snow blower keys in case the current one also gets lost.

Who know what I'll accomplish next!
