Happy turn of the decade, we’ve got 80 years to the next turn of the century

I’ve got an inkling I won’t be out partying that night.

I can relate to the photos. We hit the beach last night for the kid friendly fireworks at 20:30 and then brought them home and went to sleep. The best way to usher in the 20’s was well rested.

Happy new year from down under.

The GF got called into work. Will be home with the dogs watching hockey. Going to throw a bone in ribeye on the grill add a few fixings with it for dinner. To bed early plan on getting up early tomorrow and head north a few hours and do some fishing!

Happy New Years to all you AO’ers! Best of luck to all of you in 2020!

Going into the next decade as a pensioner, should be interesting!

Happy new year all, it's been a good run so far.

Just realised that tomorrow is the start of the 8th decade that I have been a part of.............. wow, not bad, hope I see the 9th

Happy New Year to all. Technically, any 100 year period is a century and any ten year period is a decade, so it is interesting to see people arguing about whether the "New" decade starts in 2020 or 2021. Whichever is true, I hope everyone on here has a great 2020, and 2021.

Enjoy! Being retired is the best job you will every have. The pay isn't as good, but the schedule is a lot more flexible. You will be able to spend a lot more time hunting and fishing.

We may be starting off with more taxes thanks to the idiots in Ottawa, but we will do our best to enjoy 2020.

Thanks Elk and Happy New Year to you as well
Already getting geared up for some serious varmint hunting again , and will be at the range pursuing my lifelong passion for long range fullbore target shooting now that our range is fully functional!
