Thanks Bill but it sure will be nice to find out. A friend of mine said once retired you will wonder how you had time to work.

Realy pleased to hear you fina;y made the BIG day Bernie. If retiremant for you follows form, you will be bussier than you've ever been. But thats great, and no stress, is a huge part of the enjoyment.Originally Posted by Bernie Weishapl
Thanks one and all. I truly hope it is a good New Year for everyone.
Ken you are right about the stress and being the supervisor for 7 years just tripled the stress level. The politics made it even worse. When it isn't fun to go to work it is time to walk.
John I have been told that I will soon ask myself how did I have time for work. Thats good because I don't like sitting still anyway.
Steve I hope to do some bowl coring soon. I have a new oneway system that is still new in the box. So many things I always wanted to do but so little time. Plus I have about 40 clocks that need repaired in my shop so I need to get started getting those done.
Oh and my son said on his facebook that his dad was retiring and that after 4 decades he now has a new boss, "MOM" with a 42 yr honey-do list.

Thanks again. Robert that is the part I am looking forward to. Doing something that does not have stress involved.

Happy New Year to all. I hope retirement is all that you dream it will be. Wishing for health and prosperity for all those here on the Creek.

Bernie, my folks did a similar thing in rounding up a few old Air Force buddies for a reunion and they held it in Yellowstone. They spent 3 months going to Alaska and back and also spent close to a month in the land down under. It was funny, the first time my mother was on a plane was to Australia like 16 hours long or something like that.

Thats the plan Matt. I am hoping we can get the five of us that spent our time together back together someplace. Will start working on that soon. I do want to do some fly fishing also in Montana, Wyoming and Colorado.

You are going to enjoy retirement. Did it myself 4 years ago. It's highly recommended! Congrats!
