I was an IT manager of Mainframe Infrastructure. I had a great group of young people working for me. They were from an outsourcing company. As soon as their management heard I retired, they called to offer me a job with their company. I had to say no!!!! Ha! Where is my bow?!!!!

Thanks for all the kind words.

Congratulations    :thumbsup:
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

I've been retired for 6 + years.  Today, I decided to shoot my bow, but the lawn needs mowing;  yesterday I decided to take the canoe out for a little fishing, but the screen door on the gazebo needed to be fixed; the day before that I was going to put some blinds and tree stands out, but the tractor & utv needed their oil changed.  I could go on, but you get the idea, "it's great to be retired!"   :bigsmyl:

Edgar good thing my wife is used to doing all those things. Since I have so much free time I may actually help her now and then, after about 3 years of executing my original plan! Ha! It would be funny if not true. All my friends call my wife, Saint Vera!!
