Pam Posted March 1, 2013 #1 Posted March 1, 2013 Yesterday was my last day to work. After 31 years I am drifting off into retirement. Still have to turn in my tools and some kit but that will come in April.

Marcarl Posted March 1, 2013 #4 Posted March 1, 2013 You won't have time for anything now,,,, might as well catch a nap first,, then consider how it's best to keep up with what you meant to get done last week.
CaptainJoe Posted March 1, 2013 #5 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Congratulations! Now the real work begins! Edited March 2, 2013 by CaptainJoe
Eck Posted March 1, 2013 #6 Posted March 1, 2013 I see you have a hobby / pastime of enjoyment Frank......(Restoring old cars) I know someone else here on the site who is restoring one now.. I wish you the best in your new adventure.. I was well on my way to retirement last June, but due to an offer of great value to me, Im back working again for a little while longer... It wont be to much longer and Ill be there too.
pprince Posted March 2, 2013 #8 Posted March 2, 2013 Way to go! I took that leap last June into early retirement and have no regrets.
friesman Posted March 2, 2013 #10 Posted March 2, 2013 Enjoy! i hope you get a chance to put a bit more 2 wheel time under your belt once the snow goes away. Brian
dacheedah Posted March 2, 2013 #12 Posted March 2, 2013 You always work harder after retirement, but enjoy it.
Hoss Posted March 2, 2013 #14 Posted March 2, 2013 Super , hope you can get to events this summer. Take care see ya down the road.
Jayceesfolly Posted March 2, 2013 #15 Posted March 2, 2013 I retired at Christmas of last year (2 months ago) and I have been so busy that I have lost 12 lbs.!! I'm working harder now than when I was employed. This retirement stuff isn't all it is cracked up to be. My Other Half has a "honey do" list that keeps me busy from dawn to dusk. She says it "keeps me out of trouble". Something about idle hands and the devil. I don't know what she is talking about. Jim
FuzzyRSTD Posted March 2, 2013 #17 Posted March 2, 2013 Happy Retirement, Congratulations. :thumbsup2:
Black Owl Posted March 2, 2013 #18 Posted March 2, 2013 Welcome to the ranks of the retired... I know it will be tough, but trust me, there is life after law enforcement..... You just need to find enough to keep you active, both physically and mentally. And make those plans for coming back to the PIP this year.
Pam Posted March 4, 2013 Author #19 Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks for all the kind words folks, I plan on getting to as many events as I can, Trouble is the wife still works and there is so many things to do and so little summer.
Black Owl Posted March 4, 2013 #20 Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks for all the kind words folks, I plan on getting to as many events as I can, Trouble is the wife still works and there is so many things to do and so little summer. Heck, you would have a bit more summer if you didn't live 40 miles north of the tree line....... :rotfl:
PBJ Posted March 5, 2013 #21 Posted March 5, 2013 I've been retired for the last 6 years AND LOVE IT! I'm restoring a car too. plus the time I spend with members here. Believe it when they say you'll suddenly wonder how you ever got anything done before now
Guest scarylarry Posted March 5, 2013 #22 Posted March 5, 2013 I can retire in 3 yrs and I don't know if I could handle it..Nothing to do would put me in frenzy.. I'm ADD"D" real bad..
sarges46 Posted March 5, 2013 #23 Posted March 5, 2013 Congrats Frank! Finally eh.....thanks for your service and enjoy the well deserved get away from it all. Remember though, once you start to collect old age they claw back some of that hard earned pension! Best to keep the boss workin!!
WildBill1 Posted March 7, 2013 #24 Posted March 7, 2013 You know what the best thing about being retired......More time for Ridning!!!!! Bill:080402gudl_prv:
rosebud Posted March 7, 2013 #25 Posted March 7, 2013 Congratulations! May you find lots of exciting things to fill your spare time with. Phil retires this summer and told our kids when he gets bored he was just going to pester me in the office (I work from home). The kids gave me a deadbolt lock to install on my office door for Xmas this year! Enjoy being able to take time and smell the roses!
