On July 27 2016 I will officially be retired!

Well it will be a short retirement as I will find something to help pay for my health insurance till I hit 65 in March 2018 ! And I will do some volunteer work at the V.A. if I can so something to keep me busy and I may be able to drop in at the next meet and greet :) I know you guys always said I must be retarded but I am sure you meant retired :O

Congratulations, Rich! I'm sure you'll have no problem keeping busy. You can always crank out ammo in the winter months when its too cold to be outside.

radco · 07-25-2016, 02:22 PM

Thanks Steve, Yea I will find a few things to do. And I will pick up some new reloading gear. I will be adding a S&W AR Sport 2 .223/556 to the collection soon :) so need to stock up ,I am running out of 9mm only 1500 rounds left :O

Congratulations Richard!!

Congrats on the retirement, you will adjust and learn to love it. But if there is any one
thing that I would recommend to you, it is to learn how to say NO! Otherwise you will
have more than you can handle, and you are supposed to enjoy these years, not regret
them. Hope to see you in the near future, possibly mid September.

Gerry Thanks, I learned how to say NO awhile ago.. Found alot of people who need my help but were always too busy when I needed help so I say

to them :) , Hope to connect the dot one day :) Whats going on in Sept?

Congratulations Rich

I retired at 61 due to lack of work and I don't regret it at all! Moved to Northern California and had a new home built and about a year ago had my garage built. I'm a cabinet maker so I am now in the process of building over 50 lineal feet of custom cabinets for my "Man Cave".

I have never been bored with retirement and I'm sure that you will be fine with keeping busy also.

I wish you great luck with your future endeavors and hope you are on 3 wheels soon
