It is with much regret that I make this post.....

After 20 years of working here at Layson's, my body says it's time to give it up....my wage earnin days are done. The arthritis just won't let me do the job any longer. Trying to rehab has not been as good as what I hoped it would be. And I'm starting to have a couple of other "issues" starting to set in besides that. I've been undergoing tests, but nothing specific yet.....this gettin old crap is just that.....

So this is my official "I'm old, I'm tired, and I'm retired" notice.

I'm in the process of packing up and getting ready to move back to the midwest where the living is cheaper and my SS check will go a whole lot farther than it will here in Washington.....so I won't be able to respond to any messages/inquiries here on FABO/FBBO.

If you have any questions or inquiries, please call toll free 877-930-4088.

THANKS!!!!! to all of you......no matter who you are or what you are:rofl:

Ya'll take care!

Thanks for all your hard work Rick. You will be missed for sure. And, Congratulations.
 
Great to hear your voice today, Rick! Been worried about you. Well sorry about all your health woes, I can certainly sympathize. But at the same time, congratulations on your retirement! You've always had a great attitude and that will go a long way to making your retirement enjoyable. Don't forget the fish pics and if you ever get to Georgia, gimmie a shout! This is gonna be a dent for Laysons, because I promise you, you were the only reason a lot of people bought from there.
 
Lotsa thanks for all the great parts and service.
Much respect .
Enjoy retirement, stay busy, stay well.
Cheers

Sorry to hear about your health issues. I guess we all have issues at our age. I only retired three months ago, but it is great. Hope you enjoy it.
 
Where in the Midwest are you going? Don't vote for the stupid crap here that they vote for out West. Thank you for being a solid vendor for so long!

Sorry to see ya go, and sorry about the pain you're having. I had so much pain and tenderness in my joints and really bad in my fingers a few years ago that I didn't what to do. I couldn't even close my hands anymore.
I turned that around using natural minerals and a few diet changes. Can't believe the difference! What did I use? Boron.

Boron breaks up the calcium deposits on your joints that cause most of the pain and stiffness. One of the purest forms of boron is actually just Borax, mined from the borax mines. It's basically just a mineral salt that converts to oxygen when you mix it with water. That's why it's used mainly as a laundry cleaning booster. Oxygen cleans things. Borax is NOT laundry detergent as the fear mongers would have us believe. It is ~99.8% pure Boron, which is simply awesome for treating bad joints. We also use it to give new life to our old dogs and it's been a miracle. PS, the boron they do sell online for human use always contains a bunch of other additives. Borax is what you want to use.
The daily dosage for men is roughly 1/4 teaspoon per day. dissolve in warm water or coffee, or whatever you like. Easiest and cheapest fast fix there is for repairing your joints and it has other benefits as well. Look into it! Google will just try to scare you, fyi. It doesn't make any money for the doctors and phama companies, so they supress the **** out of it, just like Ivermectin, which is also a cheap miracle.
There are tons of good videos on about it on Rumble and there are also facebook groups, etc. I've been using it for 2-3 years now and never plan to quit. You can take more than 1/4 teaspoon to boost it into action faster but it starts to work pretty fast.
Our 10 year dog could only limp around on 3 legs but with 4 days of borax on her food, she was back on all 4 without limping and within a a couple weeks she was running around like a puppy again. Stopped giving it to her and in a few weeks she was back on only 3 legs and struggling again. Put her back on it again and had the same great results, now it's in her daily diet as well and she's doing good.

I also helped an older friend of mine in Alaska who plays guitar in a band when I saw he announced he had to give up playing because his fingers hurt so bad that he couldn't make them do what he needed them do. That was in early December, and I told him if he took my advice that he'd probably be playing again by New Years Eve... Guess what? He gave it a try & he was shocked and overwhelmed with joy and still playing in band.

Sorry for the long-winded rant here but I hate to see someone in pain when there's such an easy fix. I hope you'll consider giving it a go, because you won't regret it.
Welp, so much for car talk. LOL
I'm sure I'll get some smartass comments but that's OK because I feel great and have done my own research. I'm 62 and feel better than I did at 52.

Cheers!

Hey Rick, best of luck in your retirement and your move. You helped me a lot here. And I thank you so much. Hopefully Layson's will maintain a presence here on this forum.
 
Congratulations on the retirement. I enjoyed talking to you at Mopars In The Park. Best of luck going forward

Rick, just because you are retiring doesn't mean you will loose the friends you have gained on this site. You are probably a wealth of information that may help some of the new incoming members. Best of luck in your retirement.
