Way to go Dan,
I retired 2 times already and one lasted 3 month and the other not much more than that. I am currently working and liking it even if its a bunch of lilberals which is fun. I will give it up for real next September but will do something part time that is fun. I'm hoping we still have social security and medicae next year.

Dan,
Best to you, guy. I hope your retirement lasts as long as you worked to get there. Ed

On Oct. 13th I celebrated 24 yrs. of retirement. To stay out of trouble I help out a custom gunsmith friend a couple days aweek. Nice thing is my time is pro bono so I can take off for hunting and travelling when I want, works well. Congradulations and enjoy the old Colt Commander, great pistol, I have an old LW one in 45 too.

Don't know if I will ever be able to retire as long as I am able to physically and mentally work. Just seems like there would be too large a void in life.
