Congratulations Wick! you will find that time fly's! and my mistake when building my garage was not having a tall enough ceiling for a future lift, the older I get the more difficult it is to slide under the car.

Pete / MA · 09-01-2015, 06:16 AM

All the best!!!

Enjoy life, my friend.

Barry B./ Ma. · 09-01-2015, 06:54 AM

Congratulations Wick. I've been retired 10 years and I love it, the only thing missing is the money.

Welcome aboard the Retirement Train, YOU will enjoy the ride. Caution, don't over plan, you will never get it done, also Mama will lengthen the "Honey Do List," BUT work on the new building and your bucket list. Been there, done that, is now a must. Congrats, Jim Langley...

CONGRATS! So rare to work that long today in one place...

2manycars · 09-01-2015, 08:04 AM

Good for you!! I retired last year after 25 years of running my own restoration shop, and I love it. Except for the time used up in doctor appointments, I enjoy the time I have for my projects. I just re did the windows on the back side of my barn.

Congradulations! It's a nice feeling!

Hey Wick, Best of luck to you. Stay the he-double-ck out of doctors offices if you can!

That's why I'm still working

Congratulations!! Enjoy your retirement, and make time to do all the things you want to do on your bucket list. You never know what is down the road. As mentioned your health is a big concern. Good luck

I'm going to wait for my wife to retire, she has three more years to go, that will give me 41 years,
Besides...I still think I'm to young and good looking to retire.

Congrats to you, and enjoy

hardtimes · 09-01-2015, 02:32 PM

get a big garage because they always get smaller, get a small woman because they always get bigger. Good Luck!
