    Retired

    Welp, officially no longer gainfully employed. Self employed for the last 45 odd years, so it's doubtful how gainful it was.
    No more 70-120 hour weeks. 
    I'm hoping the Bash will give me some motivation, and ideas, now that I should finally have some time.

    CONGRATULATIONS BARRY!!!  Hope yours is as good as mine has been, at the very least.  Jean and I can't wait to see you folks in less than two weeks.  The three of us may have to have a celebratory taste...You, Me, and our buddy, Jack.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Congratulations on retirement!

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Congrads Barry!!! I just reached 41 years Wednesday. Had a retirement lunch yesterday. On vacation now, my official retirement date is Oct. 1st. 

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    If you're like anyone else who retired you're gonna be busier, and wonder how you got anything done while you were working. Butt maybe you're special. 😁
