Well now, Bobby, if you really are retiring then there's no reason why you shan't be coming to the GTG, don't make Nate, John, and me drive to California....... you wouldn't like us when we drive to California :D
 
Retire?

I'll be retiring from the part time truck driving part of logging. It's either that or go at it full time and if I went full time Slowp would have to think of more truck driver jokes to tell. She already has enough of those.

Now all I'm going to do is fall a little, run Cat occasionally, run loader when nobody else shows up, grade roads, lay out sales, chase parts, turn wrenches when I absolutely am forced to, and generally stand around the warming fire a lot. Oh, and sit in the pickup with all the antennas on the top...trying to look like I know what I'm doing.

But no more truck driving. Sorry Slowp. :laugh:
 
All the time I've known my father-in-law, almost 9 years, he's been talking he's going to retire soon - after he gets a couple of jobs done he already have promised to do. He will turn 76 next June. His trade is a bit lighter than logging, he's a piano tuner. He has ran his own business 55 years. His daughters are really upset about it.

Last Easter, at the dinner, the FIL said : "You know, I have made my mind: This will be my last year working..."

I guess his feelings were hurt, but the announcement didn't raise an eyebrow.
 
I think it makes a difference if you are working for yourself or for a mega organization where you have no control. I was starting to go crazier. Think of being in the Dilbert company with lots of pointy haired bosses and very few actual engineers. I am not regretting pulling the plug. My friends tell me of the latest wonderful stuff and they are counting the days....

Now now Patty, you know that control is just an illusion.

Well, if that's the case....Congradulations! I quit driving trucks 20+ years ago.
That's about the time I started overloading gooseneck trailers. :laugh:
