Went to work today, and they had a very nice retirement party for me. Real nice, awards from the company and management for 20 years service. I was really surprised as they gave me a performance evaluation for the last year. The best part was my objectives for the next year, My wife was conspiring with management, there was a list of all the honey do projects she wants done on my evaluation. Quite a kick as this came from Bombardier's main corporate office. Now looks like retirement is just another job.   Roll Eyes

Congratulations Grumpy   cooldude

I have been retired going on 3 years now after 38 years with G.E. and yes there are days when I wish I could back to work for a while just so I could get some rest.  But at least I wake up when I want to, no more wakeing up with bells at 4am.

good luck and enjoy  Cool

They say that when you are retired.  You get up in the morning with nothing to do.  And by the end of the day you are only half done.   ???

Many congratulations on your retirement, Grumpy! 

I was about to e-mail you to tell you that I installed my stack tips today, and couldn't be happier with them.  They complete and enhance the look of the entire back end of the bike.  Anyone who's thinking about getting them, DO IT!

Corn-grat-u-lations on the retirement.

Done that almost 15 years ago for the 2nd time.

Don't let you health go to 4377 in the process.

These 40' leashs are a PIA.

I postponed mine for 2 years, company did make it worth my time to stay. Feb I turned 67, and I thought enough is enough, Its time to spend a few years having fun, and  catering to my wife.
some times just have to say no to the money.
