want to stay young then stay busy. Have something to do or you will not be happy. Just make sure whatever you do you don't need drama or stress.
Today was my last day at work. After almost 42yrs with the same employer,tomorrow I will join the ranks of the retired. Needless to say,the thought of never having to work another day or night shift is exciting,though a little scary. Looking forward to "Every day being a Saturday!"

Congrats Clint !!!
This is now YOUR time....You've worked a lifetime to get to this point, so make sure you enjoy every day. Stay busy and active doing what YOU want to do, and when you have those days when you want to do NOTHING.....well that's OK too !

Big Congratulations. I tell my friends the only difference between working and being retired is, you continue to work all the time but with no pay. Staying busy is important, but just stay busy doing what you want to do. Jim
Congrats Clint!!!!!
Can't add much to what has already been said. I'm sure you and your bride will be taking plenty of trips so that will help keep you mind off that work stuff. Just keep active and you will be fine..

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
Congratulations Clint!!
It's getting to be a rare thing that people can retire from a company after that kind of longevity any more. What with closings and mergers and takeovers and an up and down economy. I was very fortunate to be able to retire from the fire department with 20 plus years. (should have been 25 but knees gave out before that)
I truely miss being "on the job". It's very true, the comments on staying busy, (and staying out from under the wife's feet!!). I have many projects (some may never be completed!) to keep me busy. Again, congratulations!!

Congratulations Clint! Retiring is a major milestone for sure. You will enjoy it but as others have said stay busy. I have been retired for 5-1/2 years; retired at 61 after 31 years with the same company and 37 years in the same industry. Took awhile to get used to it, went back and did some consulting at my old company every once in awhile but now I have even got that out of my system. You will love the freedom of doing what you want when you want to!

Congratulations Clint,
If you're like me you are going to love retirement. I've been retired going on 23 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I stay busy and ride as much as possible. Ride Safe. Doc
Congrats! Remember this (I can do that tomorrow) you will use those words a lot. It takes me all day to do what I used to do after work. Actually if I would have known I was going to like it this much I'd have done it 30yrs ago.
Atta boy Clint,Georgia and I will see you and Sherry in June, if not before. If there be a Tx get together in the spring we will see you there. Hope y'all have a very merry Christmas. (Rev & Georgia)
Congratulations Clint go enjoy every minute now. You earned it.
Never ride faster than your angel can fly !
Congrats Clint, we retired 14 years ago and have not regretted it one bit. As others have said stay busy, it takes awhile to get dialed in to a sorta routine, I do not miss those 4:30 AM wake up buzzers, lol. I really hope you will enjoy the rest of your retirement time.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
Enjoy!
Thanks,Guys! It's going to be an interesting transition,that's for sure. Sherry and I are kinda still on our honeymoon,having only been married six years. She's already retired so we're really looking forward to spending even more time together. We share many passions;family,riding our trike,firearms,and traveling so I know there will be lots to keep us busy.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!
it will take some getting use to. I was lucky and retired at 55 that was 20 years ago ( does not seem like it ) and I went thu it all. the first 5 years I worked my butt off. I guess I was use to having to get thing done be for I had to go back to work Monday.
I have never missed work, I did and still miss some of the people I worked with. but the bottom line is when you understand you are not going to starve to death, I CAN'T FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH IT. I do my fishing, shopping, and most of my traveling thur the week not on week ends. one thing you will wonder how you ever had time to work ( there is always some thing to do ) have fun and enjoy, you have earned it.
Marry Christmas
Hey Clint........keep your butt out of the recliner and stay busy as most others have said. Join a gym and keep yourself in shape or get in shape. You don't want to let inactivity bring on old age earlier than necessary. Congratulations on retiring. My biggest fear on retiring was giving up that weekly pay check. I decided it was better to walk out of work than be carried out feet first with a toe tag on. Again........congratulations!
