    I go in to work the odd time when one of the guys can't make it and the weekends sure seem shorter when I do.

    I just want to forget what day it is!!! Start and stop projects or whatever without having to go by a schedule. Absolutely not one that can just set around.

    13 years ago for me.

    Be prepared fo time to speed up. It’s almost like the clock is running on 120 hertz.

    Good luck with your surgery. That procedure has pretty good results! A lot better than they used to be. Hopefully it lets you get back to doing things that have been limited by it as of late.

    WB69: Good for you. CONGRATS. Enjoy every day and remain healthy.
    You will love not having to get up before dawn and face the daily grind.

    I hope you did not tell anyone else in your house that you retired. They will have plans for you. :rolleyes:

    Congratulations!
    By coincidence, today is also my first day of retirement.
    Now that we have the time, we need to get together and play with cars!

    Congrats...I retired early (about 10 years ago) and here's something I've learned...there's a CLOCK CONSPIRACY!
    "Retirement clocks" run MUCH FASTER than "work clocks" ever did...and you STILL won't have time to get everything done.

    Congrats ! Enjoy ! You will notice you are going to be so busy for the next couple of years, you'll wonder how did you have time to work, most everyone I know said this. Good Luck on your projects.
