Tdog, Well I noticed you registerd 4/30/01 and only have 209 posts I guess you'll have a little more time for posting in the future..Maybe even catch up to BIRD? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Congratulations...
After my last day of duty with the USAF came to an end, I went home, walked thru the door, touched my wife on the shoulder and said: Tag! You're it!
Now, 10 years later, I've already been working in the "private sector" for half as long as I did in the military... I wonder if my second retirement will last longer than 43 days? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Tdog,
I have already responded to this post but I've decided to up my retirement date from July '05 to Jan. '05.
So how is it going so far???
I'm so excited I can't sleep. The wife's "To Do" list keeps growing.

B7500 - - good for you. Be sure to let us know how it goes.
How's it going for me you ask? Well lessee, I believe in the month & 5 days since I retired I've logged ~~60-70 hours on the BX-22. Dug up several trees, cleared a little yaupon, mowed a little, etc. Looks like more of the same on the horizon. Doesn't sound boring to me. Getting ready to have a pole barn/garage/shop built. I'd do it myself, but I'm retired.
Cheers,
tdog

Tdog,
I'm revisiting this post because I upped my retirement date from July 2005 to the end of this December.
So, how do you like it so far? As it gets closer I am getting more and more excited. Still, I'll miss the guys I've worked with for over thirty years. I know that but like you I am looking forward to all those projects I never had time to do.
This is a big step...

I guess I asked this already (and you answered). As you can see I'm so excited I can't think straight.

b7500 - - as I said before, good for ya!
Do I miss the informal interaction with old friends - - yep. But they gave me a great send off where they told a bunch of lies about me. I still see them on occasion & we talk via email. However, for me, retirement was a good move. Now understand, retirement doesn't pay as well! I think we'll be OK, though - - still working out the kinks. got my 1st SS check in October.
I'll say this, I stay busy around here. Or I'm off somewhere with my bride. Either way, I'm happy.
My situation was complicated because of . . . well, complications revolving around my wife's health. She's some better now, but I could not continue to leave her for ~~11-12 hours a day.
I'm glad I did what I did.
Best wishes to you!
