Pulled the plug and retired end of August. Since then, looks like I've been too busy to "Retire!"
Explanation....Retired on a Friday, and Saturday was a technical conference in Boston representing an engineering firm for a week at approximately double my previous salary for a week...some executives from my previous employer were attending the same conference and remarked, "Didn't take you long, did it!"
When I returned, my previous employer offered me some easy consulting work with a 40% premium on an "As Needed" basis. Did 4 days of that.
My band had 2 gigs, I coached my local middle schools cross country team at 2 meets, and announced the play by play from the press box of our High School Football team.
Took delivery of a new Yamaha Viking to use on the farm...barely had time to use it.
Retirement is great so far!
