Got my retirement papers just showed up. Got a folder with all the necessary docs ready to go. I’m lookin at the calendar , Maybe July , All my pensions are vested. Pick the day and then burn all my floaters , sick days , vacation, about six or seven weeks worth. I see about six or more tool boxes there , some retire and leave their tools behind. I’ll be takin mine home to clean and sell them.I have enough tools for working 2 jobs and enough to work on the side at home as well. So I’ll be having a garage sale(s) after I retire. Freedom is near. Roll Eyes

Congratulations!

I have been retired 7 months, and I love it! I get to fix my problems instead of everyone else's!

Today I cut air vents in a new windshield and got it mounted, then put Caswell fuel tank liner in the Trail 110 auxiliary fuel tank, took a nap, and then went out to dinner with friends.

When the growing season starts I will have less time to work in the garage - but for now I am in the garage every day working on something.

One of the problems that I had with a job.....is that when the "good" days came along for doing the outdoor work at home - I had to go to work. Now when the days come along that are good for cutting firewood, mowing the grass, scrubbing the buildings, etc. - I can "Get'r Done". When the bad weather days are here - I can hide out in the garage and get those things done.

And.....when the good riding days come along - I can ignore the work!

I still feel that way.
