I will have to figure out how to send more hulls to keep you busy. I love being retired. As my hunting buddy always told me when he was retired and I was still working - WORK IS OVER RATED.
Enjoy,
Mike |

Thanks to all for the well wishes 
Today went skeet shooting
Shot a Rottweil 72 Olympic skeet (great international skeet gun)
and a Krieghoff 32 with the 20 gauge set of barrels
(sure do wish they made a 16 gauge set of barrels for the K-32)
Monday will be interesting

Mike,
Congrats to you. Enjoy the time.
I did it in July of '09 and haven't looked back once. I'm a bit young to collect SS yet but hopefully you will leave some in there for me in say about 7 yrs.  |

Congratulations. I can follow suit in 3 weeks if I push the "R" button.
I hear retirement is like "Friday, 5PM every day" . |

Hello
Tomorrow will be ONE MONTH, and I love it, what joy!!
I stay busy doing what I want to do, and my health is
better as I go to the gym daily, no excuse not to now.
The sooner you can do it, the better
Mike |

Starting to plan now, so much to do in retirement
So many opportunities
The calendar is rapidly filling with fun stuff to day and places to go
Lots of new/old gun flooding this way for shooting and playing
Been shooting a 1911 that I built, Kart NM barrel, fitted bushing, tall link, fitted slide, special spring and recoil set, yada, yada, yada
and a S&W Model 19 round butt that I converted from 2 1/2 to 4 inch, what treats to shoot
Got a retirement rifle, a Rem 40-X 22 Long Rifle
Plus many old shotguns

| congratulations, enjoy your retirement. do as much as you can before health problems put a damper on things. Grqndpa always scrimped and saved for later. unfortunately when later got here he fell and was in a coma for 6 months and needed assistance for simple daily things from then on. I hope this happens to no one else |
