squonk 47,426 #5 Posted 59 minutes ago HA! Today was my last day too. Brought the last of my tools home. Took a gauge off our defunct steam fired Absorption chiller as a souvenir. We had a fire in 2015 and when we went to put the chiller on line the water in the pipes flashed to steam and the needle spun around in circles like in the cartoons. Got well wishes from a Trane Tech who happens to be a Bears fan! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 67,503 #6 Posted 45 minutes ago Welcome to an ever-growing group of happy campers. I have been retired over twenty years, best vocational choice I ever made, highly recommend it. It will take some time to adjust but I'm confident you can work it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
