After serving almost 2 life sentences in the employ of General Motors, I have decided to call it quits and retire to pursue my fly fishing and rod building hobbies.
I signed my retirement papers today and by July 1st, I will be a man of leisure.


Life is good

Sweet!! Congratulations! Don't work too hard between now and July 1.

Congrats Bob You did save the pen, right?

I'm envious, and hope I live long enough to one day get to type a similar message. Best wishes for a long and absolutely wonderful retirement !!!

Yes Bob life is good.
Great to hear. Now you can bug Steve a lot more also.

Thanks for the cudoes people
I don't believe it will all be fun and games, You see my wife has a Honey Do list I gota start working on.

Congrats!

Congratulations! You are now a househusband!

Really, though, I envy you. Having not planned my life well, I'll have to work to the end. I should have taken that civil service test...

Congrats.

I've got 15 years yet. To say I'm jealous would be an understatement.

Congrats Bob only 15-30 more yrs for this guy

Bob, I tried to retire about 3 years ago when I got laid off. The wife wouldn't go for it though! Stayed home for a year and a half before I started my small business. I've got a pretty good idea what you're in for and to say I'm jeoulos is an understatement. By the way, I got the nickname of 'housebitch', hope you can avoid that! Good luck, man.

Mike

Probably not something you should have shared


Chris

The wife retired a couple years ago so that position is already filled

so did my dad by the way bob congrats on the new time of freedom any ways good luck to you and tight lines from rhino................

Well it's about damn time!

And perfect timeing as well....cause I'll be on the Au Sable for two weeks starting mid July. Grab your rods and pull up a riverbank!

Congrats, Bob.

So...maybe now's the time to hit you up with a request for a cane blank?...

Ken

Congrats...i retired after 36 years...enjoy, as you have earned it.....now if my eyes don't give out and I can grow another hand this new rod building hobby should be a snap. best regards...nick

NOW WAIT A MINUTE!!!! You are like 4 months younger than me, and I am looking at 5 more years!

I guess I should have been more frugal............. Damn Winstons, and Burkheimers.......

Seriously congratulations..

Congratulations OSD

Sounds good to me Bob. Work can really have a deter mental affect on one's hobbies but my wife's work list is way too long for me to even consider retiring. I figure as long as I'm working full time she can't force me to do all that extra work. So far it's working.
