    Time to put my feet up



    That's it then I,ve retired at last.Theres been a lot of changes in the last forty odd years in the trade not all for the better as some of the older guys will agree.From the days when airconditioning was a little marstair or qualitair ,supermarkets did,nt have packs, no such thing as climate change and 502 was used to blow out cellar cooler condensing units.I won,t miss being outside in the middle of winter trying to change a pcb when you can,t feel your fingers or sweating your nuts off in a plant room in the middle of summer (remember summer).But there used to be a satisfaction when ever you sorted out a problem,so thanks to all the guys who,ve contributed to my threads. cheers redroge

    Its ok at thirty nine, at sixtysix you will find it different, your minds willing but the body Is,nt . It,s ok the government saying people have got to work longer that's ok if you,ve sat behind a desk all the time, but after a lifetime on the tools humping gas bottles up an down ladders its getting harder. At thirtynine Install I think you will have to work until you are knocking sixtyseven anyway. cheers redroge
