Finished up a good career yesterday. Coffee tastes better this morning than it ever did. This is a great feeling.

Congrats. I know that feeling and it's grand. I experienced it over 6 years ago. My only complaint now is that time is flying by too fast. Can't believe it's been 6 years already.

Congrats, enjoy. I retired at 49 and made it 5 years before I was going nuts. Lost my sence of purpose, went back to being a school LEO. Retirement is not all what everyone thinks it is.

OP, congrats and enjoy!

rong, that has been so true for me. I've become the (even)older person doctor visit taxi driver and grocery getter and part time home re-modeler.

Thought I was gonna fish and hunt more but that hasn't come about so far.

Hah! Bunch of Retirement Rookies. Just over 12 years here. Great stuff. Got out early enough to enjoy it.

Congrats, DryHollow. Take care of your health so you live to enjoy the fruits of your labors. Eat right and move your ass enough to keep the joints oiled.

After 15 years, I have come to realize that retirement is my natural state of being. To those who ask, "What do you do when you're retired?" I reply, "Whatever I feel like doing."
