Looking forward to more time in the saddle, both the TG and the Mustang.
Time to see more of this great country, more BBQ, more doing nothing....
Exciting and a little scary. I've had a job since I was 14. Strange not having one soon....but I know we're going to love it....

Just thought I'd share...

Casper, enjoy that retirement. I'm about like Screwball, I had the chance to retire at the age of 50 after 30 uears and 1 month on the job and I took it. That was in Jan. 1998. I was a bit concerned with the idea and the what am I going to do now, but odd thing is I haven't run out of something to do in all those years. PLan some trips, grab your Honey and go.

Enjoy, Main thing is to stay healthy. I'm semi-retired after a 37 year career at a job that I was burned out at, at age 55. Now I work about two days a week at something I really enjoy, I figure a couple of days is better than a five day work week. Plus easier to justify all the toys. Ride safe.

I've retired twice (second one got retired - company got bought out) .. on third career .. don't think I'll ever give up altogether ... difference now is I'm the guy I answer to ... no one else. I enjoy that
