Stick a Fork in Me...I'm done

[Willowbilly3]

I won't be able to tell when I retire because I don't do anything now. But I only have 5-6 more years to figger that out.

Thanks for all the well wishes fellas. I do appreciate it. I think it's going to take a few days before I realize I don't have to trek into work or have my phone ring in the middle of the night calling me in to work (which happened a lot). Sometimes I would be stuck at work for days. The boss took me to lunch today and tried to talk me into staying for a while longer but it's a done deal...I'm out. The paperwork is signed.

For the last couple of months, I've been gathering parts for the start of my next project so I could start right away and not have to wait on everything I need so stay tuned for some pictures and commentary on that shortly[

Like Bonehead said ,friend of ours retired a while ago and still complaints that he cant get everything done that he needs to do.

I know this sounds weird but that's been my experience. I thought I'd have plenty of time to do whatever I wanted but it always seems to be something else that needs to be done & I seem to have less time to do what I'd really like to be doing! [S

I've always been impressed with all the stuff Gastick got done while he was working... I can't wait to see that develops now that he's a man of leisure! I'm also wondering about a certain '55 Chev project!?!? [ddd

Bill has projects stacked up like cord wood. He has to help his Dad Bill Sr. finish the Willys and help his Brother Rod finish that 55 Chev. Bill gave me a sneak peek at what his plans are for the 34 and it is totally different than I thought, BUT COOL AS H***. [cl I can't wait for him to start his build thread on that one.

Will he be installing a time clock in the shop?

He must be confused this morning by not having to go to work.....

31 more years, heck by then retirement age will be about 93 the way things are going.

Sadly that may be true.... When I come of age to retire I'm betting S.S. will have dried up.

 

[grouchy]

Congrats man!!!! I've got about nine to go, unless my friends in the gov. do something to me!

 

[Sam_Fear]

Congrats!


Funny thing I've noticed: the guys that are afraid to retire enjoy it the most when they do.

 

[RoddingRon]

Congrats Bill!!! Now it's time to enjoy life....play with cars and have fun!

 

[Ol Blue]

Congrats. I took my pension and bailed out of my factory job in '04. Haven't missed it a bit. You won't have any regrets.

So far, I spent the first day sitting on my duff and the second day putting new wider, stickier wheels and tires on my daily driver. So far so good.

Thats a relief, was worried you might have been catching up on the soap operas.[P
