Re: Retired today!!

Well I'm officially retired. Notified my HR dept of my intentions 04/08/24 and last night was my "walk around" night. Went in on time and spent about 2 hours telling a lot of my co-workers good-bye. My good friends I'll see regularly @ the beach and playing music.
I planned to retire about a year ago but I wound up staying. I did give up my exit "package" by leaving before April 2025 but I don't care.
I've spent 25 of the last 28 years on 3rd shift. I am ready to live during normal hours.
I turned 60 in November and have planned and worked towards this for a loooonnngg time. It's almost been surreal today, but it sure feels good!!!! I got out at 58, almost 14 years ago. If you can swing it, and assuming you’re not a couch potato, retiring early while you still have a little lead in your pencil is IMO the only way to go. Make room for someone else in the job market, have some fun. I probably spent half of my 40 years on some off tour, mostly 3rd shift, especially the last 15 or so. Being in control of your time is more precious than gold. Don’t get fat, and if you’re already fat, lose some!

Re: Is faith without works dead…?

It is easier to speak with God in wild places... I have always believed this to be true... Wild places involve physical labor (even pain) to build, visit and/or worship. The conversations a man has with his God happen in these places... better than the internet...

Re: Parking Lots Are Dangerous.

You want to see dangerous. Cookie's recently endured a hip and knee replacement and is using one of the go-carts furnished by the grocery store. I don't think she'll run over anyone, but she's on the brakes with every potential encounter, and I'm sure she's eventually going to be rear ended. Hope she heals quick. We need her back taking pics.

Lots of these were rebuilt over the years. If you have not done so, maybe try using a marker on the locking lugs and see where the marker wears off by cycling the action.

Ok so lately my legs feel weak. Climbing a flight of stairs i feel weak. I can walk 1.5 miles on a treadmill at 3.4 mph at a 2% incline no problems but a flight of stairs I feel weak
What am i missing or not doing
Vitamin? Protein(i eat a lot of meat and chicken) ?
Also having muscle cramps and weakness in one forearm not always but sometimes cant hold a coffe cup. You say your legs feel weak, but you're not out of breath, is that tight? What about your heart rate when you climb stairs?
