I'm Done

[Jim McDonald]

Thursday was my birthday and also my retirement date. 

I was going to retire in April, but my replacement was not ready to walk on his own--much less run--so I agreed to drop to part time and finish the training. 

Of course the heart attack and bypasses messed up that timing, so I came back during and after rehab, got Andy ready to fly and just walked out the back door on my last day.

Already moving stuff around for new printer and Cricut machine and have tons of ideas for cutting once I can get the saw back out on the patio.

Congrats!  But here is a tidbit to ponder.  When I was working I had weekends off, now that I'm retired it's seven days a week    Make SURE that you do allow time for scrolling!  Again congrats!  Enjoy your new life.  Russ

I have about 5 years left if all goes well. 

I have been working from home in the garage, on works computer. 

Some days I feel like it is not worth it any more.  Doing the same thing for 20yrs.  I do like what I do.

Jim, my mantra for the last 8 years has been "retirement is the best job I've ever had!"  Enjoy and keep that saw humm'n.

I should of been able to retire on my birthday, but alas the Govt. moved the goal posts 18 months away.
Not  really a big'n as I like what I do

Nice!  I have 2,965 more days to go!  Feb. 15, 2030.... I'll be 59 1/2 that day.  Cash out my 401K.  Not that I'm counting.
