RETIRED

Recommended Posts

oliver2-44

Well, I retired yesterday. My official date will be in a few weeks after I burn up some vacation leave.

     I have a several furniture and cabinet repair projects in my shop that Im working on with my sons.  It great to spend ship time with them. But,  I’m hopefully through with them after Labor Day weekend.  I have a pile of Tres-Suburban’ parts calling.  Our large area tractor show is in Temple, Tx October 6th and I hope to have uno-tres done by them. Lots of retirement plans.....but a mid afternoon nap is calling!

 

Im already working on plans to be at the Big Show next year!

Congratulation I retired 8 years ago and enjoyed every day of it. Find something to do every day and don't waste your life away. Great things for you are ahead for you . Take advantage of it. :roll:

The best career move I ever made was twelve years ago when I retired.  Looking forward to meeting you at the Big Show.

Congratulations.  I bailed out 9 years ago.  No regrets.  The best retirement advise is to keep busy.

Congratulations Jim!!

I'm betting that it won't be long before you'll wonder how you ever found time for work.  :)

i believe you will be right about that Bob. Between my list of, projects, the family farm, the 2 grandsons, and striving to be a tranny novice (I never match the old pro @stevasaurus). I already don’t see how I’ll ever get to my wife’s list😇

Congratulations Jim...hopefully you ease into retirement gracefully.  :handgestures-thumbupright:  You can call me anytime.

 

This is an original truism from the Book..."The World According to Stevasaurus"

It’s going to take a lot of retirement rehab to reach that “truism” @stevasaurus.  

To add to my abouve “to-do” list my retired farm neighbor just told me...the local metal recycling yard allows people to search the yard while the machines are shut down and the crews are at lunch each day

Congratulations!! I retired two years ago and one of the hardest questions to answer is, what do you do every day? I just say it's like every day is a Saturday or vacation and I do whatever feels right. Love the freedom that comes with retiring!

If there is one thing that I just hate about being retired...it is that I still manage to learn something every day.  Drives me crazy!!  :occasion-xmas:

 

I'm older then dirt and I still don't know everything.  :text-lol:
