Nice Jim. I made it out nearly 5 years ago with a buyout package and pension. Best job I ever had. Tree means winter is coming - more shop time. Mine is in the basement so I get most of my shop time in winter and outside stuff in summer.

Now THAT made me laugh! Good one!Should I just bring the sawmill to your house?
Jim...I am only 36, but already look forward to (early?) retirement. Some say retirement is when life really begins. Enjoy!

Nice picture, Jim. I guess that means we will be taking our annual pilgrimage to NW Arkansas, SW Mo to see their leaves change. We have a few trees here that have nice color but for the most part they are balckjack and post oak which turn brown. I am struggling with the retirement question. I'm eligible, just can't seem to pull the trigger. I have calculated my retirement three times in the past week and it comes out the same each time, imagine that. As I figure it, I am working for about $7/hour. It is just so final! I'm thinking sometime between now and January 2008.

I was able to retire at 59 - about four years later than I'd really hoped to, but still a lot earlier than many (most?).
I'm finding it really enjoyable. No schedules. No deadlines. No whiney clients complaining...
My wife and I are doing just whatever we want to do, whenever we want to, and we're loving it. We're travelling, enjoying our hobbies, and just plain enjoying life. Wish I could have done this a long time ago!
