Retired!!! - Page 2

Congratulations! I don't think the employment at a gun store is going to help with the money situation. I'm retired Army and have seven years into another job, in nine more I'll be sixty two and will have Army, State of Alabama, and whatever is left of social security. Two buddies and I have a plan to start a camping/canoeing/kayaking/ outfitting business. Between us we have five canoes, seven kayaks, a trailer and two flat bottom motor boats for hauling equipment. We have been taking up to fifteen people at a time for backpack or canoe camping trips for three days. This is a beautiful area with lots of resources. Again, congratulations. Come on down and we'll go camping.

Ron,
Congradulations, The only draw back I have found from my retirement is that it seems that I do not have time for anything. I can not believe how fast a day fills up and how the time flies. But then again when asked I have to admit I'm doing pretty much what I want to do, when I want to do it , and with those I enjoy the most. You'll find its a great time.Neil

Gerben,
Have two. I'm a pretty good sized guy.

Thanks everybody! It's a good feeling. Ron
