So after almost 38 years of marriage to my lovely wife I am retiring from work effective Feb 1. and making some changes in my life.
I am getting divorced. Not from her though, cause I would starve to death...... In June of 2013 I took the 1986 Idaho car to my "ex" painter. It took him 2 years and 3 months to paint the car minus the bumper covers. I got the car back and he said he would paint the bumper covers right away. That was 3 months ago. He asked me to buy the paint and hardener 2 months ago as he was sanding on them. As of yesterday they still were not done so I retrieved them and the paint and brought them home. Evidently he used my hardener on something else. needless to say our "relationship" has concluded. My new painter (currently painting my Jeep Comanche pickup truck) said he would make it all better. ![]() Time will tell.......

Good for you Jim!
being a car guy you already have something to occupy your day (the garage) this is a great start to your retirement! So....your are not going to get board and get a job as a Wall-mart greater? When i retired people would ask me all the time So...what do you do to keep busy? What!!!! are they kidding me! I have something to do all day, every day with these cars! but now i can come in and take a nap at 2:30 in the after noon if i want to. and i can go to the store during the off hours to avoid the crowds. It's all Good! Have a happy, healthy retirement Jim! the fun has just started! ![]()

finished my last day yesterday. So today I got up and watched the sun rise, put on my new hat and had a good day. Hope to repeat that everyday from now on....

Perfect way to start your new life phase Jim! I quit working at the end of May 2013 and have never looked back. Everyday is a new adventure (or not!) of my choosing and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Congrats and hope to see you at a future Ripon show! |
