Spent Friday morning at the range, was there all morning by myself, on one of my many breaks i looked up the word retirement ( the action of leaving one's job and ceasing to work) life is good.

Awesome! I relish those days alone at the range :)

I am well on my way to joining you in 10 1/2 years if all goes according to plan. So far the plan is going well, and if the next 6 years in my 401K go as well as my last 2, then I will be a happy camper! :)

Retirement is good if you get out on your own conditions. LOTS of folks get carried out by no choice of their own. Work till you drop???
I was on a roll till I had a couple of medical issues. Had plans to do the part time thing. Never got that far. Finally figured out "someone was trying to tell me something" so I hung it up for good. Have been back a time or two to "hold down the fort" while the boss went on vacation. Got to see some of the folks that I hadn't seen in a while. Been off long enough now to NEVER GO BACK and not even consider it.:cool:
Still miss the folks but not that much.;) Been too busy to think about working. Busy enough that I can't even get to the range.
That needs to change.

I hung it up 12/29/2017 haven't missed it yet. Most Monday mornings you can find me at the local range. Thursday is fishing day with a friend. Still working on a plan for the rest of the week.

One thing I enjoy is running into someone I know and havn't seen for a while. I can stop and BS all I want and don't have to think about having to "get back to work". My time is my own.:cool: Still start my day around 4:30/5:00 AM every morning. The way that goes, my guess is it that will never change.

Given enough time, pretty much everything we do becomes old.
Including retirement.
