Yep, I'm ready this time. I still want something to do to get me out of the house, but I am ready to get rid of the pressure and responsibility. When we were bought out by a big corporation, all aspects of the business changed. Just not fun anymore. There are 4 of us retiring at the same time. I started a mass exit.

That looks good Patrick.
Well, I'm excited. I told them back in November to find a replacement for me, I was ready to retire. They had a head hunter doing a search and finally made an offer yesterday and the lady accepted. Looks like I may be able to slow down after February. I will probably still work about three days a week.

Guess taking some trips on the bike is in my future when the time's here.

Went to the movie last night, saw Silver Linings Playbook. It was about a guy with mental illness and his trying to cope with it in life. Supposed to be a comedy, but it hit a little to close to home for me to find it funny.

My parent's forever-long doctor (Dr Shaw at Shaw medical center) was bought out by a corporation and they said he would be staying on as a main decision maker. Then they started running things differently than he liked so he retired the heck out of there. He still does physician services for a few patients (My parents are included in that short list) at his ranch house, cash only. Just like the good old days.

Did you see the three Twister Edition Mustang's that sold at their Kansas City auction last month? I think the same guy bought both of the old ones.
my cousin works at a detailing business and got to have a one on one with a Sidewinder mustang before it went to acution. Never knew a "sidewinder" was a mustang I forget what auction it went to... Found it, went to the Des Moines auctions.
