Congratulations Kawhead

I had seen a post about Mike's retirement but I can't find the thread.... it's probably hidden in one of the threads but I wanted to wish you happy retirement. Congratulations Mike!!

Thanks Rasta. Obviously I can't fault you for missing post. The original post is near the bottom of the page. Dave has a habit of hiding stuff like that in plain sight. He's sneaky like that.

You ain't technically late, the retirement date is Feb. 16, 2018. I'm running my vacation days out.

It's a weird ass spooky feeling come about the second or third day. A fantastic feeling after you settle in. I can only imagine what it's gonna be like in a couple months when the weather is warmer!!!

You got all that as right as if you were a fly on the wall and only missed one thing,,,, my unpredictable ass is out scouting for another job. Something less intense that pays more money. Not wine or pie taster. I did that over the holidays and I thought I was gonna hafta buy a breathing machine.

Yeah it is, but over the last few years I've succumbed to to the modern day feminist movement and became a Beta Male and with it being so cold outside and all this winter I find it very difficult if not impossible to contemplate adventure.

So, until fair weather makes the scene I reckon I'll clean the house per wife's orders and look forward to four o'clock when I can sit down and watch Oprah with a cup of hot tea and fold laundry.

The Stock Market is anticipating the HUGE increase in productivity when you and BD leave the job.

Good luck in being a retired old fart.

Thanks Joel.

I know you have a few months to come up with a good one but what kinda excuse are you going to use to get out of going to Custer?
Brad's already gonna use the tired ass going over mountains spill again. He had me thinking he pushed his bike over them if I didn't know better.
