Congratulations on your retirement, Rick. I am looking at just one more year and I will be locking my classroom door for the last time. Next year will give me 33 and I'm not sure if I can survive another year. So much has changed since I started my career in teaching back in 1979.

Go, have fun, take lots of photographs, but mostly, take care and be happy. We will leave the light on for ya!

I feel good for you! Teaching is not what it used to be, even 10 years ago.

I spent 14 hour work days, including a 3-4 hour daily commute, until I retired in 2008.
I was......S-T-R-A-N-G-E.......suddenly having that much time off!?
I was sooooo used to getting up at 3am to head off for work, that for months after wards, I kept automatically.....getting up at 3am.
The dogs were thrilled that 'Daddy' gets to stay home and play with us!!
I rediscovered the guitar......and rediscovered that I'm STILL a third-rate hack!
Finally.....had the time to do a LOT more walking and taking care of myself better......and promptly LOST 25 pounds.
Now I'm living just outside of beautiful Santa Fe, NM (after 36 years in Maryland) and am quite enjoying a (Thank GOD) healthy and active retirement.

I sincerely hope your retirement, is everything that you would want it to be!!

Congrats to you, gearhound. Enjoy Santa Fe! I have a few ralatives in Easton, Md.

Got a lot of chores done today and I'm beat. Maybe tomorrow I'll clean the garage....or maybe not. :D
 
Great hearing from you again, and congrats on the retirement!

I "officially" pulled the plug at the end of last year. Those direct deposit SS checks are the bomb!!:yes:

Oh yeah! I love that service, too!

Congrats on your retirement, also! :thmbsp:
 
Onepixel, that's a heck of a beach shot in your avatar. I wouldn't mind retiring there and watching all the really fit people stroll and surf by.
Tapehead47, enjoy your retirement! Maybe you should check out all the great beaches in the country as a multi-year project.

Wish I could do that! Florida has enough beaches to compare!
 
Glad to hear there is life after work. Depending on the market, 2 years and some change and I will be on the 24 hour retirement shift...
 
Good for you, enjoy your retirement. I will be right there in a few months.
Great Post BTW.:thmbsp:
You have a great! system too!

Enjoy your music.

Thanks,
John.:music::D
 
Wish you the best in this new stage and hope you'll be able to travel and enjoy many nice places.

Thanks, guys. You're spoiling me! The time for retiring hit suddenly and I grabbed it. Vicki didn't like it at first, but now that I'm getting stuff done around the house she's liking it. Whew!
I try to stay busy. And don't sleep in! Usually up by 7-7:30 which is way better than the 5:30 hour when I worked. Mess around on the internet until about 9am and then do the chores. On weekends may sleep till 8am, but that seems so late!
I gotta start getting more exercise, though. Like walking the dog. It's just so boring to walk. Too bad listening to music doesn't count as exercise. We'd all be in great shape :yes:

Couldn't find my favorite Oz photos. I need to organize my photo files!

Well, off I go to move the patio furniture and clean it.....seeeee yaaaa!

Actually, he's in the worst part of NYC during a blizzard...nice photoshopping, btw! :D
 
Man, sounds like you've got a nice lifestyle going on there! Enjoy, my friend, and give your Border Collie Oz a pat and a Snausage for me!
 
My late Father in 2004, eloped to Las Vegas with his girlfriend.....at age 80!
Now THAT'S an active retirement!!
