The legend has retired----------------

[DesertRat]

After 34 years 6 months and 14 days I have retired from my current job at the age of 75 years old. I stayed because I loved the challenge of the work and the satisfaction derived from it. Time to turn the page and move on to the next thing which includes my current build on my rotisserie.

Enjoy your retirement, working until 75 you've earned it.

I hope you enjoy retirement as much as I do. If I would have known it was this much fun, I would have started sooner!

Thanks Mike: The job was design/build and I got an adrenaline rush on every startup.

Thanks 360---I have two metal knees and a bad back but I think I can finish my current build with the rotisserie and a body cart. It's just hard to get up and down from the floor.
Thanks for the acknowledgement Rusty. I have been blessed with the passion to design/build from a young age. It's like playing real world Legos with other peoples money. The pressure comes from having to deliver faultless results on budget. Some tough days for sure!

Congrats on the retirement!
Getting up of floor...I text the wife to come out, hook by belt to the engine hoist...it works. But she is getting tired of pushing the hoist around.

Maybe I need back to work???? Anyone need a 74 yr old with blown out knees short of breathe, and clogged up arteries?? I'm good till a knee folds up and I fold up. P,S, I work cheap (compared to the new kid at Micky D's).......
