...At the ripe age of 73 and after 52 years of helping other folks, today was my last day of work and I have retired....from formal work anyway. Looking forward to not being rushed in the morning and being able to enjoy a second or third cup of coffee. Wonderful Wife and I have been talking and smiling about all the stuff we can do now. We can finally concentrate on taking care of ourselves instead of lots of others.

One of the first things I have to do is to pick out a new gun. Wonderful Wife has always had me mark life's benchmarks by getting a new gun. And some folks wonder why I call her Wonderful Wife....

Congrats Moosie !!

A vintage tack driving .22 with a nice scope...

And a bunch of different ammo..

And see how small a group you can get at 100 Yaahds.

One of a group of guns I recently bought is a Remington 541T. It is considered to be very accurate. It has an old Bushnell 4x on it. The gun is in beautiful shape and I can hardly wait to shoot it...I have the time now, too. Will be buying something else as well.

You will be so busy doing things you have always thought about doing, that you will wish you had retired 10 years ago!!

Was it 52 years all at the same job? If so, that is impressive. Hope that company can manage without you.

Best wishes!!

After I retired, I wondered how I ever had time to have a job. More busy than ever.
