Hi All.  I gotta tell  you I retired yesterday after 39 years of Chiropractic practice and 300,000 patient visits.   :goldtooth:

Congratulations Joe,  Nothing like retirement to boost your spirits.  I guess now you are our newest member of the Ye Olde Farts Club.

My granddad once told me that if he knew retirement was this much work,  he'd kept working!     :banghead:  

He wasn't an archer, so I hope you have it figured out!!!

Congrats and God bless,

Congrats on a much deserved step away from working, have 1.5 years to go--but who's counting. Enjoy your free time.

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Time for a moose hunt in Alberta Joe...we will disguise you as a tourist so the moose will be a little less afraid...now the elk will have you pegged since the word will have travelled even this far
