Oh, darn! I won't be able to read those funny comments he posts. Or even the benefits of having a good parachute--that deploys. But then now he will have more time to post here...

Do you think so? Most of us are busier in retirement.... I bet Al is no exception!

So true. Everyone I know says, some six months after retirement, with true amazement, "HOW did I get things done when I was working?!? I am SO busy!!!"
Al - Congratulations on retirement!

Wow! Thanks so very much, everyone!
I am working today and tomorrow, and DONE. I kind of feel like now that I'm good at what I do, I'm quitting?? But yeah, it's time. And I hope to have more time for sewing projects, and car projects, and ... Oops, I forgot, I have to get my house ready for sale, sell it, buy a place in Duluth, and move. That might take a little time. But first I have to make Thanksgiving dinner, which will be fun, as I found a recipe for rolls which sounds great. But I'll still be around here a bit, so thanks again for all the nice comments, and "See you around!"

A sewing machine is just a welder for textiles.

Congratulations on your retirement. I have been "free" for over 10 years and can tell you the days will be shorter and the tasks never ending. You wake up on Monday and the next thing you know, it's Friday.......I remember how those days lasted forever when I was working! And, I really liked my job, co-workers
and boss.
Best wishes, and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
