Doug,
That is great news. I did the same in January of this year. Take break...goof off...mess with some projects for a few months. THEN...find something that you really enjoy doing and stay very busy every day.
Your body...and mind...have been operating under some level of stress and challenge every day for almost 30 years. If you give your systems some level of stress and your mind a good challenge, you will remain healthy.
Since you must live in the Atlanta area, you and I could team up and take ALL of the money at Silver Dollar and Commerce races! I hope to see you at Silver Dollar. Just look for the old Ford.
Call any time, 678-458-2033. I am in Alpharetta.

I am so jealous . Hopefully my turn will be coming in the near future. Congratulations Doug!

Congrats Doug, glad you could join the club, it is a great life, but as Keith said, keep busy, even if it is f---ing with people.

I am convinced that retirement is a myth.

I wish I could retire.....but then I'd be broke and homeless

x 2, Congrats!

Have a good retirement . I still have 5yrs. to go. When I retire I will more than likely work 16 hrs. a day instead of 12.

I still have 10 1/2 years to go, but I'm just glad to have a paycheck here lately.

Congrats on the retirement! I thought I was retired....but I was only laid off!

I'm with you! It will never happen for me!

I retired from General Electric after 36 years just before Christmas 1999 (best Christmas present I ever got) I'm loving every minute of it! I'm staying busy enough that I don't know how I ever found time to go to a job (LOL). I don't plan on letting the rocking chair get me! ENJOY IT!
