Happy New Year

Post by Ernie » Wed Dec 31, 2025 7:15 pm

I doubt that I will be aware of the transition to 2026 unless the neighbors are shooting something off to celebrate. My plan is to retire early and wake up to see how much snow has accumulated and decide if I have to do something about it. Exciting I know.
Everyone have a safe and Happy New Year.

I wore my best sweat suit to the living room and slept through the ball drop.
Oh well, Happy 2026 to all my Forum friends. Good night.

A New Year and I woke up full of hope and ambition for the future, but that was over an hour ago and time erodes all things.
Now I can't find my socks............. :(

Happy 2026 to all. :D

Happy New Year to all. I’m optimistic for a great year with our country doing well.

Mrs hatchdog and myself enjoyed a couple of adult beverages last night and managed to stay up until 9:00 pm our time to watch the ball drop. My wife loves hearing Sinatra sing New York New York and other songs after the strike of midnight. Nice to do so in the Pacific time zone., :lol:

Mary asked if I wanted to watch the ball drop. I had to work in the morning, so I didn't. I set my alarm, got up at 1156 pm, woke her up we watched it and then went to bed.
Happy New Year!

Yup, just as I suspected, you're living in the last century. If you love it, live it!
