    Last Day Tomorrow



    Well that's it, my last day tomorrow.

    At work that is, nothing fatal.

    Decided that at 67 enough was enough, retirement is now overdue. I've enjoyed most of it over the years but lately have caught myself muttering "I'm too old for this sh*t" .

    Hi Brian
    Enjoy your retirement I am pretty sure you have earned it.
    I have a few more years to go but I have found myself saying the same thing lately.
    I hope you will still be part of this forum as advice from experienced people will always be appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi Brian,
    The end of an era!!
    I just want to reiterate what the others have said, enjoy your retirement.
    Hopefully you'll continue to be active on here because we've all learned a lot from you over the years.

    Best wishes

    Good luck with your new adventures. You will soon wonder where you ever found time to go to work! I have still got a couple of years to go before making the decision.

    Re: Last Day Tomorrow

    Brian,

    You are 67 ????
    I never pictured you as a day over 66!

    Never mind, you enjoy your retirement, you have after all worked for it long enough.

    "You can take the engineer out of engineering but never the engineering out of the engineer"
    Good luck on your future adventures.
