 Big changes in store for me.  Retirement is upon me now!  Gave my work 2- week notice, we listed our home just before the darn CZU lightning complex fire hit our area, so weren’t sure how that was going to affect us,  but we got an offer during the evacuations!  We just needed to wait out the fire BS.  Our place for last 14 years has sold!
 I have 3 and a half work days left here at my job then I make the 8hr drive up to Crescent City one last time!
  Was looking forward to the clean, fresh air being close to the coast up there but the Slater fire burning there now has seen fit to interrupt that still.  Air quality there is poor at the moment.  I am looking forward to NO MORE COMMUTE!  I think I’ll miss the comradery I have here at my job. However I am looking forward to reshaping our front yard into my wife’s vision she has for it, while she’s happily pulling salads for us from her garden she has going!
I also plan to do pursuing some gold prospecting in the area.   Have pan will travel!

Congrats!  I retired in 2012 and have been so busy, I don't know how I ever found time to work at a job.  Give it time, don't schedule too much at first and maybe make a punch list of what you find you want to work on or do, then prioritize.  I've done a lot of landscaping and now refinishing the garage; new lighting, storage/benches and tile the floor.  Busy, busy, busy!

Congratulations. Of course, the most important advice is MORE FISHING!

Congrats!! You will enjoy it! I retired in December and it is so relaxing not stressing about work. Just had spine reconstruction surgery and am healing well. I am looking forward to getting out and doing all sorts of things!
Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.
