Title: Finally!
Post by: Mike Hufnagel on July 29, 2010, 06:51:53 AM
I just can't wait for tomorrow.  I'm retiring from my job from the city after 32 yrs. and just only 52 yrs. old.  Gee, I wonder what I will do with myself. Let's see there's the 80-400, 82-250, hopefully a 495, 2 84 Yam RZ350s, (projects) getting back into homebrewing ( I could set up a keg at VMD) and MORE RIDING!!!!!!!   OH YEAH, and sleeping in. A couple of the things I'll miss about work is the new sand blaster we got, plus the mills & lathes. Damn, I should have gotten those projects done before I left.  Guess I'll have to call in some favors.

Congratulations on retiring. I retired from one job already but like to work my city job. Where else can I carry so many weapons in public, work multiple car crashes caused by the same stupidity over and over, and daily observe(in extreme detail) the moral decay of our society caused by decades of endless liberal welfare entitlements and  "victim" programs? !!

Mike, you should of bought a Mill and Lathe and Dirt Blaster before you retired.  Then you could really feel like your at work, when your retired !
  I'd miss them too

I did. Of course, It's hobby/unimat size, but the lathe will cut metric threads, & the mill seems pretty decent (both are Jets I believe. I need to go to Harbor frieght & pick up a table top sand blaster & a small parts washer. But I'll definatley miss the large stuff at work. Some people owe me a few favors though.
