Retired finally.
« on: August 12, 2016, 01:48:00 PM »
It is Miller Time for the rest of my life. After 50 years of steady employment I am done.

Can't wait to fully enjoy my bow club, fly fishing saltwater, DIY hunts, deer hunting everyday it doesn't rain.

I am going to every shoot next year and camping for the duration of the shoots.

I have been looking forward to this for so long and it is finally here. Thank God!

Gil, congratulations to you.  It sounds as if it won't be hard for you to find something to do with your time.
Good luck.

Congrats! My official retirement date was August one. So, I'm in the same boat. Has not been easy thus far.

That dang storm that came thru two weeks ago downed two huge trees resulting in crushing my poor old 87 4x4 Toyota and damage to one of my out buildings.

 I've been cutting trees and hauling wood/brush for almost two weeks straight. The poor old busted up truck still did it's job as I off loaded everything onto my property.

I'm hoping my friend the mechanic can at least get a windshield and back glass installed after much metal work. She ain't dead yet! :)

That's a great plan, Gil. I thought the same way, but the honey do list grew exponentially when I hung it up. Good luck!

Congratulations, now about your list. It an'it that easy, wish it was. I know, I tried but one thing I enjoy most. If I feel I getting up at 0500 it is because I am doing something fun not work.

I am finally on the Government roles instead of paying for them. Maybe I have to change the way I vote. Bring on the liberals and socialists! Naaaa
