Congratulations!! I am going to assume retirement from the USPS? I retired in Nov 2006 ... I noticed the retirement certificate as I have presented many of those in my 36 years .....

The grandkids can keep you very busy!!!!

Again, Congratulations!!

Congratulations to ya.

I retired in '09, finally found something I'm good at.,,,,,,,,,

Yes,the postal service.The snake shot is a once in a life time shot,for me anyway.But it did happen one time before when I was about 15 or 16.From horseback no less.Let me tell you,just 'cause John Wayne can do it,don't mean everyone else can.Man, I didn't think I would ever get off that horse,and the barn had a low roof on the stall side.

Bought another pistol while at home.A Hy Hunter--Hollywood,Ca. .44 mag SSA.

yeah it get's cold out here, it does make you enjoy the few nice day's you get even more though.
if you wanna feel better about cold, stop into north Dakota for a while, you'll find it's nice over this way.

Congratulations on your retirement.
I retired the first of this year and find myself working harder now that before I retirement, gotta fix that!

[Hickok]

Yep, timber rattler, we have 'em around here too. Good shooting! Congradulations, and that is a beautiful little grand daughter!

Retirement is not all it's cracked-up to be. It's a lot better!

Good one on the retirement! Even better one on the granddaughter's comment about the snake, better than a "poor ________" any day of the week!

I keep seeing this sign on Facebook that says "People can say what they want to about the South, but nobody retires and moves up North." Makes ya think..

[Bullshop Junior]

I don't care Kentucky. Montana is quite nice.

[blackthorn]

Congratulations!! Have a long and happy retirement!! It took me four tries but I finally made it! Once in a while I think of going back to work but after a few minutes sanity prevails.

Unless you are one of those who sits on a bar stool or a couch watching TV (don't figure you are) you will find your "retirement" short lived. Been in "retirement" a while now and don't know how I ever had time to work! Hope it's the same with you, enjoy.

I retired for the last time as an industrial plumber back in `03, I started another full time job the next day....being a full time pain-in-the-A$$ to my Frau! Enjoy the small break in the work schedule while you can, your life will get busier that you can imagine now.Robert

Enjoy those grands cause the greatgrands come sooner than you expect. Happy retirement to you casting boolits.

I'm jealous...I wanna retire....

I picked Kentucky because I grew up in Harlan County.My family still lives there,but don't want to get too close.Property is fairly cheap--200 acres and a house for $120,000,we're looking into it now.Just need to to make sure coal rights are clear.

The wife say's she is working on a to-do list,and should be ready when she returns to work at the beginning of the school year.Today my chore is to fire up the forge and finish up some knife blanks and weed eat.Tomorrow we (me) cut grass.One of my plans was to make 2 or 3 trips to the range each week,so far that has been a no go.

I do want to spend as much time with Addison(granddaughter) as I can.Her father returns from oversea's in August and then they PCS to Ft. Belvoir. We plan to take her camping in July,she has a brand new pink rod and reel.She loves being outside.Addison is the only grandchild and "GaGa" has spoiled her rotten.BTW I'm "pop pops". Attachment 108111
