I retired.

Welcome to the club!

Congrats Scott, enjoy

Find something to do before the wife does for you

You worked?!?

Cheers! Go find a long term project! Build a canoe, boat or flintlock from scratch……

Congrats on making it this far!

Anyone land a biplane in the backyard lately?

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy way more than I did

Congratulations

Excellent. Now go do stuff that you enjoy.
If you ever come down my way, the door is always open and the 100yr old Port will be waiting...along with some hunting and fishing.

Again?

Thanks, all. I can't just sit and scratch my butt all day, so I got a part time gig at the gun counter at the new Bass Pro opening in Tucson this spring. Between that and volunteering at U of A and the local animal shelter, I'll be busier than I have ever been. (Zee )

Yeah I tied that for almost 2 years and then my old company and I started talking and bam, I’m back to “work” with a huge smile on my face Hope it works better for you brother.

I’m relatively near you and I’m in Phoenix all the time visiting my son and granddaughter. Would love to get together sometime this spring.

Being in Tuscaloosa, I've got to admit that the first thought to cross my mind when you said "U of A" was, "That's a helluva commute here, just to volunteer"
Then I remembered this isn't the only U of A (Just the best one IMO )

Congratulations! From here on out...every day is Saturday

Congrats, Scott.

I retired as of October 1. I stay busier now than when I was working. Almost 4 months in, I only occasionally forget what day of the week it is.

Amazing how that works. Don't know how it got anything done when still working. And I never knew working cost so much
