    Cool, you're gonna love it. I did last May and am now the "grouchy old ba$t@rd" I always dreamed of being. Of course my wife says nothing changed....

    Unicorn1, congratulations. I am not far behind you. Within a few months. My wife turns in her paperwork by the 15th of March and I not far after that. Like a little kid waiting for Christmas.

    This is exactly what I was thinking.....my Dad retired at 62 and stayed busy until he was 90 then finally slowed down. At 92 he went on to his next career and without a doubt that one has the best benefits.

    YIKES- I might be putting on my retirement brakes. It looks like I'm buying a neighbors estate, more to follow.

    The pic above is a restored Lincoln workstation, I spent ALL day boxing up tools, loading up toolboxes and general garage cleaning. Here's mine below, I'll need to disassemble it into smaller sections.

    We'll need pics after it is cleaned up. I'll bet we will be amazed at the difference even without any repainting!
