Pikeman, congratulations. It sounds to me like you earned a break.

Thanks guys. My Dr. told me that It would be a good idea if I started swimming for exercise. I just about cracked up. He had no Idea how much I like to swim and what I do when I swim. I did not get to go at all last year with my back being fussed in the spring and took all summer to heal. I haven't tried to swim with my SI joint problems. I will have to try and see how it goes.

Congrats!!!

Congrats Kirby! It must be a little bit bitter sweet. Our work is usually how we men define ourselves. Now you can do "fun" work. I suspect you have more that enough "hobbies" to minimize your time playing Dominos in the park. ;D ;D ;D

Congratulations Kirby. On 4/1/13 I will have been retired for 2 years. I can honestly say I have not regretted it nor missed work one bit.

You are going to love it. Enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Mt fiddler and his dad are making sausage in a couple of weeks. I might talk him into letting me shove a few pounds of sausage through his stuffer. He has just got one of my 30 pound stuffer barrels and I would like to watch it work.

Congrats but who can afford retire the way this government is treating us?

SiFumar · March 02, 2013, 10:30:01 PM

Congratulations! Enjoy life!

Congrats. After 41 years you have earned a restful and relaxing retirement. I just wish that retirement came early and then we worked until we dropped. That way I would be in better shape/position to go do. :)

Congrats Kirby,
I was surprised how fast I got into the swing of it. No boss looking over your shoulder is easy to get used to ( except SWMBO).

My new job is to clean my shop. That could take the next 41 years ;D ;D
