    ...so.....I finally got the correct answer. Some of your comments helped.

    Yesterday, I gave my final notice. April 30 will be the end of my career.

    In this case, follow the money does not apply anymore.
    I have my health and strength. I have plenty of toys to play with.
    I lay awake at night w/new ideas for things to build dancing around in my head.
    I have a great back yard, garden and water to play in.
    I have a wonderful, loving pup'ner dog to keep me company all day.
    I can still ride my bike. I may even think about riding another TripleByPass.
    It's time. I'm ready.
    I'll see you on the road.

    You won't regret it. It's wonderful, deciding what to do every day.

    Congrats justdraftn
    :yes:

    I'd be a liar if I didn't admit that I'm a bit jealous.
    :emb:

    Enjoy your time.
