congratulations AJ

Congratulations! I don't think you'll be twiddling your thumbs AJ! Freedom to dedicate your time into doing what you want, bliss! Go for it!
 
thanks all...it was a pretty good day yesterday...actually all week was...they had a "roast" for me on Wednesday and gave me a bunch of momentos from all the different aircraft programs I have worked over the years and there were probably 100 people there, then Thursday, they took me to lunch and probably had over 60 at that event...last night, we had a gig that the band decided to make my retirement party...everything was very nice...

truthfully, it has not hit me yet that I don't have to go to the plant any more and it is really bittersweet...I won't miss the work I have done for years, but I definitely will miss the people I worked with...best bunch of engineers ever...

yup...time for a defcon bloody mary then going to Central Market here in Fort Worth for their "Hatch Chili" festival today...

not going to make it to Austin this weekend for the festival...

have a great day all...

I did that the Monday after my work laid me off. They didn't shit or giggle! They called security guards.

But AJ congrats on making your years of hard work pay off to where you were able to retire before the age of 80!
