Retired !

[Roger C H]

And thank you for your service.
My uncle was on the Milwaukee PD (WI), and our son-in-law retires in January from Kent PD (WA).
I retired 23 Aug 2002, from The Boeing Company, and the time has just flown!
First, every day seems like a Saturday. (Maybe not for you because you probably worked a lot of Saturdays.)
Then you begin to wonder how you ever found time to work all those years!

Maybe you can make the Quatzsite gathering in February?

Thank you but my Scamp is hibernating in my Shelter Logic shelter. Winter weather has arrived in ND. Very little snow yet though. Time for ice fishing!

Congrats on making it though. I hope for you a long happy Retirement Scamping.

Congratulations Ted! Just got back from deer hunting and saw this. I hope the next 30 years are as exciting as the last 30 for you. Enjoy life. You deserve it.

Have fun, enjoy! And for goodness sake don't do so much that retirement is more hectic than the job! My wife recently retired and has more obligations on her calendar than she did when she was working.

I swear I'm going to need to tie her to the back bumper of the scamp to get her to take a real vacation. She does seem to be having fun but still....!

Thank you for your service. For years you've looked out for others, now its time for some "me" time. Enjoy!

Thanks to all of you. I keep trying to plan stuff around my job and then realize I'm retired. Just will take a little time to stop thinking that way. I swear after all these years helping people it's hard to think about myself. I'll figure it out and at least I don't have to work the cold winter coming up. I really like that.

When you get around to reading, after all you now have the time to do so, you might like this book The Joy of NOT Working; a book for the retired, unemployed, and overworked by Ernie J. Zelinski. The other one I like is Master Class; living longer, stronger, and happier by Peter Spiers (sponsored by Road Scholar). Enjoy!

No where to go and all day to get there.
Now you can enjoy those camping trips.

Dang I'm jealous. I've worked for my company for 30 years, not law enforcement, just that horrible corporate political stuff. Today, I have two years, 360 days until full retirement. No matter what happens with the economy... I can live on vienna sausage and rice(!) enjoy every moment of your retirement. May it be loooooong and healthy.

Way to go, but the down side of being retired is now you never get a day off.
Enjoy!

The first thing you notice is that every day seems to be Saturday. Of course you working for law enforcement, you probably worked a rotating shift which included Saturdays.
The next thing is that you don't do many of the things you planned on before retirement. I have yet to open my art kit, and don't play my new saxophone as much as I would like. So don't run out and buy any expensive equipment at least for one year. Retiring is a like any major life change, don't do anything major for at least one year.
Holidays will mean less to you because you don't get the time off to look forward to.
Otherwise, retirement is great!
Another thing is you get forgetful. I see I already posted on this thread. Oops.

[Glenn Baglo]

I try to have at least one thing planned for each day, be it weekend or weekday. That way I always have something I can postpone.

[papa-t]

Lol good advice. Thanks

Congrats, you deserve to relax and be at your own calling. Enjoy! My wife and I both retired the 1st of May last year, used the scamp a couple times and will use it this year after the snow melts and warms up. "Relax and take retirement slow" is the best advice i have been given.
