Thanks for the welcome, guys. It's good to know that I was missed, even if you really don't mean it, but you all get an "A" for effort.

I'm just starting to get settled (so to speak) in my new home. Glad I only have to do this (fingers crossed X) once in a lifetime. I.e., coordinate my retirement to coincide with a change of residence, then sell a home and buy a new one both on the same day. The stress was indescribable.

I've been shuffling between a temporary residence in NJ and the PA residence. Must've put 2000 miles on my truck already. Running to PA to let the painters in, then for furniture deliveries, then the tiler, then more furniture; back and forth-back and forth.
My head is still spinning. I'll be officially retired on May 1st. Right now I'm using up all my vacation, holidays and personal days. The doctors found more damage to my arm after a second MRI. I had been telling my Workman's Comp case manager from the very beginning that I wanted another MRI and I believed there was more damage than the first MRI suggested. They wait until the first operation is finished (arm in a sling for two weeks) followed by months of physical therapy 3 times per week and after all that, I'm still complaining of pain and loss of function.

After the second MRI, they tell me they want to operate again?!!!

I explained to my case worker, "They want to operate again when I could've had this cleared up last year? Then my arm in a sling for two weeks again, followed by months of physical therapy again? Forget it!"

I'll live with the pain and loss of function. One doctor even tried to send me back to work before the new MRI revealed another tear.

Anyway, it's been a slow process, getting internet, phone, TV, electric & propane services coordinated via my (recently afflicted) poor memory disorder. I spend about half my time in NJ tying up loose ends. Recently got my new desk put together and my PC up & running so have been able to start posting when I'm not tied up finishing paperwork for my retirement.

So, now that I'm back:

I know, I just liked this .gif and couldn't wait for the opportunity to use it.
