Default I am officially retired....

As of 07/12/2007@2:45PM (PST) I have retired from United Parcel Service after 30 years. It's been a real pleasure to be on this board and I hope to check in from time to time. It's going to be weird not going to work, but I guess that's something I will deal with. I hope to have a new gig delivering high end RV's from Eugene, Oregon to points in the Southwest United States shortly. Will just work part-time. Thanks to everyone for their opinions weather we agreed or not. I'll let you know how retirement is...(I'll probably croak or something).....

Just Kidding, enjoy your retirement.

:rock: arty: arty: Congratulations feederfred!

It will seem very strange at first as I owned (or it owned me) a business for two and half years. I worked sometimes 18 hours. It was VERY VERY strange when I walked away from it after the lease was up. I kept waking up at those times and felt weird not doing the things I used to do.

Keep busy and you will be fine! I am certain the Mrs. can give you her honey do list :P And I hope you like your new gig!

:shock: Check in from time to time! Hey you were suppose to keep an eye on us! You cannot leave this board we will all miss you to much!
