Retirement

Retired

I have started my countdown timer to retirement and it stands at 326 days, 21 hours, and 39 minutes. Although I'll only be 58, 40 years is about all I can take. I hope the election will not affect the market negatively.
Now if my wife can just sell her big house in Atlanta, all will be well.

Snuffy,
I was going to retire in January, but the company helped me out with an early severance package. After 35 years Samm and I are more than grateful for a little extra pay and an early out. I'll let you know in a few weeks how it feels to shut the alarm off.
Best Regards, Big G

Jayc
Glad to hear you made the big plunge. Look forward to seeing you again in April.

I retired April 1, 2007 and never missed working a minute. Should have done it at 55.

Jay,

Although we knew this a public congratulations is in order for you. I also think several of us have already discussed ways to sell your house. Looking forward to seeing you in the RGV this winter and if not at Rayford in April.

I'm just about done! They had a little going away party for me yesterday and I turned in most of my gear. I came into the office to turn in my car and the rest of the gear, so after noon today I'm officially retired (retarded). It's been a great career but I'm looking forward to traveling around the country and seeing places I haven't seen before.

Congrats jayc,
I can't wait. Just got through with redoing the house, VW is building a new plant within 2 miles of my house and in Feb. It will go up for sale. We will travel for at least a year then probably settle near Austin with other family. Have family in Georgetown, Cedar Park, and Canyon Lake TX. Good luck and let us hear of your travels.
