Well... it's official
As of 0800 hrs. this morning in am officially joining the ranks of the retired. I have no big plans other than to finish up on some small projects, get the A/C finished in the 51 and change a motor in a 39 ford. I like to keep active and already have people looking to put me to work

Congratulations! You will become busier than you ever thought you would. It is amazing how many things you find on your plate when it is you that is doling it out and setting your schedule. May your budget be able to keep up with your projects!

Welcome to the ranks of the retired. I went out last October and have loved every minute of it. And of course the 3:00 o'clock nap!

And you aren't restricted to indoor stuff from December to April being in Fla.

Enjoy.

Later!
Mr. Ed

Congratulations!

I'd love to retire but that would bring an end to my excuses for not catching up on the 8,000 things on my to-do list.
