Just to drive Mike crazy my count for final is now 316. Still thinking about what I'm going to do after I retire, several options but I do intend to stay busy, I don't intend to be one of those guys that drop dead within 5 years of retirement.

Bob five years maybe too much. Most of the NASA retirees I knew dropped dead six months after retiring.

I think that's what happened to my Dad. Covid made him stop getting around as much and when he got it, things went downhill from there.

...FWIW, my Dad retired from NASA in '03 (just before the Columbia accident) and kept working - he had a pretty solid sideline doing 3D drawings of auto accident scenes. He managed to put a couple people in jail, and cost David Letterman almost half a million dollars, and he kept doing the work until the damned Parkinson's got to the point where he couldn't do the work any more.

On the other hand, our family tradition is that you pretty much work until you can't. I'm walking away from Valmont in 1606 days, and I'm still going to get something part time because I can't imagine just not working, and also because The Fair Melissa wouldn't put up with it for too long.

I did some recalculating a little while ago and discovered I was off a week…about 308 right now. I’m retiring on the last working day of the last pay period of FY 2023, the party is still on FY New Year eve (30 Sept2023)

You have earned your retirement shipmate. Unlike most of us YOU stood in the ring and did battle in a noble cause. We, aside from voting and donating a few bucks, just bitched and complained.

Thanks, Senior!

It has been one helluva ride through 4 elections (all wins), 3 terms in office for the last 10 years.

I’ve called it my “retirement hobby” and when people asked why I decided to run my answer has always been - Temporary Insanity

I’ve been in the majority (on city Council) and in the minority (state Legislature). Majority is better!

Quite the experience and glad I did it but the time has clearly come to retire retire and become a Recovering Representative
