60+ year old thread.

Morning all:

The smoke is back from the wildfires in Canada, not as bad as the first time though.

 

Yep it is back Carl. The wifes eyes are bothering her as well as her nose sneezing. Staying inside should help.

 

Sorry to hear your wife is suffering due to the air quality Ken. I just got done mowing and trimming the off-yard areas that I maintain, so far so good.

 

Thanks Carl, hope with the incoming rain it will put a damper on the smoke from Our Nprthern neighbor.

 

I can’t afford it and I retired anyway.
Live poor and be happy..

 

evening boys

 

Now you are scaring me...

I was told mechanics make the Big $$$



Be up your way for 2-3 weeks come August but scheduling might see me just say hi in here...

 

Crap.
Well, better come up with a better plan than your implying.. lol

 

They do if you’re a fuckin thief….

 

I think PennSilver did a visit with lots of pics a while back. If I were near, I'd certainly visit. I have to admit, it's fun working a place where the displays aren't just static - unless maintenance! I checked that map I sent, and Toledo only has one plane, but DC has a pretty active hangar. When they had the wheels off That's All Brother, they found wheel bearings they didn't like, so they replaced and repacked. And we grounded the U-3 (Cessna) due to landing gear pressures. I'm not even a direct part of this, but it's pretty cool to know the care the guys take.

 

Family is kinda stretching me like a yo-yo....

We get into NH on a Thursday & then have to be in Monmouth Saturday morning, then back in Dover for Sunday morning....

I think they all remember what I used to do for a living BUT if we stay an extra week I might actually get time to myself

I'll let you know sooner than later....I know your social calendar gets booked months in advance

 

Oh hell you know how it is..

 

I often thought of that Mike. But you are living large with your hobbies .
Life is good but a little money helps

 

Seminar was very good. We are where I thought we were. Bottom line, barring any unforseen life events, I'll do another 6 1/2 yrs and retire at 65. I could comfortably go at 62, but the extra time allows me to top out another layer of financial "comfort", for lack of a better word.

 

Waiting would have been more $$ but so happy I left when I did!!!

 

Yep, I get it. I might change my mind, but coming out of it today, my gut is saying go to 65. See how the next 4 yrs go.

 

If work isn't giving you ulcers and you are enjoying it, then stick around, but when it becomes no fun, it's time to bail!!!!

 

I'll remember that. Our midshift crew is solid right now and I enjoy working with the young folks ... they aren't all bad, current batch I'm with restore my faith that all hope is not yet lost.

 

Good plan. Just remember, the rest of the world doesn't always cooperate. 6 yrs is plenty time to think about it. You CAN'T plan for all the stupid happening, you plan for yourself!
