Gonna take a little getting used to...

...being retired that is. Completely finished from both careers as I received my letter from DC Monday .

Have lots of plans to put in place.

It's like work but you can get more done and you don't get paid for it! Good luck

Way cool, congrats!!!! Now enjoy!!

Awesome, thanks for your service!

When Dad retired, and had plenty of hobbies, he didn't know how he ever had time to work!...lol.

Congratulations.

Right on Aaron! We drop our youngest boy at MEPS on Sunday and he flies to Fort Jackson Tuesday.

I'm sure you can find something to occupy your time. When I retired people would ask me how retirement was going I told them "If I new it was going to be so much fun I would of done it 3 years sooner."

Your to young to retire, get a job slacker. Congrats!!

Congrats!

Congrats Aaron. How are you celebrating?

Congrats and thanks for your service. I'm 36 and figure I'll have to work another 30 years. I kinda like working so its not to bad

It’ll be 5 years for me on June 28th. I quit when I was 54. Folks will say to me...what do you do with all your time? My reply......Hunt, trap and fish. They’ll say.....you can’t hunt, trap, and fish everyday? My reply....Ya, you can....sometimes all three in the same day. I do throw in a lot of gardening, beekeeping, and woodcutting into the mix also.

Aaron, it's a lazy man that can't find his wife a second job. Now you have time to embark upon that endeavor, so good luck.


RTT

Welcome aboard. It is a lot more fun but don't pay as well.

Yep! LOL Thank you Sir.

I went at 57 and I should of Jumped earlier then that. I tell people the something in fact all the outdoor activities I do all collide with one another and I don't get to do as much as I want with some of them.

I do a part time thing all outdoors for an outfit in the summer months but come and go pretty much as I please. I'm landscaping and picnic/gazebo/garden area for an University. I wish I wouldn't have done it this year. This will most definite be the last year of work even if it is less then 80 days a year. Done finished for good.

Congrats!

Your gonna love it.

Congrats

Thank you for your service Enjoy some of your free time . None of us know how much we will have .

Congrats and thank you for your service.

Best of luck Aaron. I'm busier now than I ever was when I worked my day job! Only thing I miss is back when I was pipelining. That was serious hard hot work, but miss the times we had! There are always parts of the work you did that you miss, but you get over it pretty quick!

Congrats Aaron.

Congrats Aaron, Took me about 5 minutes the 1st Monday morning I was retired to get used to it. I didn't have to jump into the truck and go to work!!

speedo's and Florida?........

Maybe we should try for that trout fishing trip sometime.

Mike

Thanks , e'erybody !!

Been out admiring the lawn after fertilizing it all week . Dadgum squirrels and gophers are gonna drive me insane with all digging damage they do. Past couple mornings , down at the coffee shop arguing politics and whining about the heat. Maybe Fred and I will complain enough that the county will fix the road. It's pretty deplorable. Knights of Columbus have something going on Monday so I might swing by the Hall to tell them what they're doing wrong and/or improve on. Neighbors are up to something, hard to tell from here.

That ,sir, is an excellent idea.

Like a duck to water. Lol

You gonna yell at the neighbor kids to "get the @$#* off my lawn" now that it's fertilized?

Mike

Copy down the words to Dr. Seuss's 'Oh, The Places You'll Go' and send it to him. Be good for both of you.

Kid you not, was sitting on my porch the other night and saw these very weird lights coming down the road. They'd be together like car headlights and then apart , then separate a different way.I was freaking out.
Two dadgum folks on Segways . Too bizarre. Very out of place where I live. Didn't like it.

I've got a line on a ginormous Delta 88 if'n you feel the need to cruise at 15 under in the passing lane.

Mike

Now if SQ 788 passes I'll be less freaked out. Or more. Whatever.

Congradulations, and best of luck for the future.

Oh !! Speaking of 788 , might wanna pick up a Daily Oklahoman tomorrow . Might be someone's picture and quotes in there you may recognize. Lol

Thank you, Les !!

"I'm freakin' out MAN!"

Mike

Oh boy... I'll keep an eye out for a copy.

I'm kind of 'meh' on 788... But I think we should, at least, have constitutional carry before we get MM.

Mike

We didn't get that far into the interview to discuss my views on carrying.

Good luck to you in your future Aaron! No more fires buddy.

Zim

Thanks, Zim !

No kidding on the fires. Although, I do have some brush that needs to go . Flame on !!

You're not the 'old retired guy' they interviewed because they knew his opinion had shock value... Were you?

Mike

I think it might've been my 'Dysfunctional Veteran...leave me alone !'bumper sticker as they were in the VFW parking lot.

As long as the word 'tarnation' wasn't uttered I think it'll be ok.

Mike
