Five years ago, today.

      Was the first day of my forced retirement. Seemed like a bad thing at the time but I think it worked out OK. Would have liked to have paid off a few more bills, first ,but we came out all right.
      I should probably have a beer tonight to celebrate. You folks have one, too.

[LPS]

Yes you should have a beer or three.  That is about when I retired too.  I may be 6 years in.  I will have a cocktail in your honor.

      Thanks, fellas. I still get emails for jobs. I tell them that I've found fishing and drinking beer more fun than working. One gal told me she is looking forward to retirement. In 45 years.

Congrats TT, it was four years ago yesterday for me. Wish I could have done it 20 years ago, LOL

Been almost a year for me since I injured my back and more or less retired. I miss it sometimes but I have more than enough to do here at home. I still keep in touch with a few of my old coworkers.

Yeah, congrats TT. It was 2011, November 18th to be exact, when I told 'em no thanks to a new job where I'd spend all day in a lab dressed from head to toe in a Tyvek suit. I was 56 & never looked back.

I don't miss spending 12 hours shifts wearing a tool pouch, hard hat, ear plugs, safety glasses, gloves, a radio and an oxygen sensor.
