Wow congrats!
Similar to Sailor Steve, I’ve jumped around in my jobs from Aircraft Mechanics, Electronics Technician (both Coast Guard and civilian), Building Contractor, Truck Driver and finally back to electronics as a contracted employee.  The longest stent was 14 years in the CG. I figure I have 15 years left.
I’m looking forward to it.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I retired two years ago after working 45 years as an architect. My wife retired last year after workng 40 years as a corporate executive. Nothing comparies to being retired. For the first time in your life you can do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it. Simply put, you can goof-off all day, every day, and nobody can tell you to stop. However, you must be healthy and you need hobbies to keep your mind active. I go to TRX Suspension class three times a week. Best exercise program ever. It was designed for the Rangers and Seals. You may have heard of it. As for hobbies, I have a big garden to tend to (4,000 s.f.) and I build model airplanes and cars.

Good luck and most of all, GOOF OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your comments and questions are always welcome.

Bust my hump all summer, so I can retire to the deer woods and salmon streams in fall, and build models for the rest of winter...

 

 

Or, you could live near me. Things are all over the place.

 

 

Here too!!!

Bush, 

Question 1 - I have no idea.

Question 2 - No; sorry. (If I did, I don't think you'd want to see them. Take my word for it.)

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Congratulations are in order sir!  I wish you many years of enjoyment as life has much meaning in the autumn of such.  I retired at 44 years old due to an injury and have never looked back, it has been a very interesting ride thus far.  I'm very happy for you.

Wow! Congratulations on reaching this millstone, er, milestone. My wife and I retired in 2014. Not a full retirement for me, but it appears to be enough.
