But only when he’s far enough from home that Winifred can’t see him.

Good for you, Chuck! Up with Chuck everybody! Oh …………………… wait. ……. Maybe I should rephrase that.

It’s nice to be your own boss.

That ‘splains the grass stains.

Chuck, did your boss give you permission to play as well?

Is that your yard? If not, you may get shot w/ a BB gun!

I’m with Chuck. Let’s have fun!

Chuck’s butt is calling out to Scooter!

Omg

I can’t unsee that.

Wood, Chuck also likes to chuck wood, I hear… (but I’m not sure how much)… ☺

As an old saying goes.. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.. And chuck is determined, never to be dull.

I enjoy playing with myself.

Play is a sign of intelligence.

Everyone should take time out to play. I’ve taken a cue from a character in a book series I love and I’m doing what I want and wearing what I want these days. You may call it a second childhood, but I’m happy.

A good way to enjoy lunch or mix retirement and fun.

And his boss gives Chuck permission to stay home to play. Permanently.
