Before I leave WV we are going to ride back up ro a crick we know of that has huge Golden Trout. Hobble the Horses and let them feed in a meadow while we eat Trout and enjoy. God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Now I spend my days at the ranch or hunting, fishing, trapping, hiking or just doing whatever I feel like doing. Always busy never a dual day and live for the day, because tomorrow is not promised. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Tommyran trapper T Joined: May 2015 N.Y. Mid Hudson Valley	Originally Posted by randall brannon Just finished talking with the UMWA Union and I have been fully eligible for my Pension after 25 years. 31/2 ago I could and should have retired. Will I miss working as a Coalminer?? Heck Yes and I will keep in touch with my buddies but I went to Deborahs office today and gave her my 2 weeks notice. For the duration I will not be dropping anymore either. I will get all of my Geologicals and Paperwork wrapped up and I will be GONE!!! Time to enjoy life and the Family. Why was I staying under anyway? We lived off of my Bonuses and my wifes SSI but we have banked my checks and her Pension the last 6 1/2 years. Time to enjoy life before this job hurts or kills me!!! Congrabulations! I retired 10+ years ago. The past 4 years have stunk due to health issues but other than that I love it.
