Congrats!
I'd throw you a party but I would want to get you to excited. I know how you old people like to pee your pants.

Bell, I'm looking outside of Newcastle, Ellwood City, Beaver Falls areas. My family is all in Cleveland and I have been here for 20 hurricane seasons...time to go. Yes I know it snows but I plan on working at two cottage jobs so I won't have to go out in it much. Of course there is some band up there that needs a bass player too. Looks like I'll be buying a FWD truck though.

Yupp...that's why I bought hurricane shutters as a good selling point for my house. "You'll be safe as a baby". LOL!

Thanks pbs! I read it fine. Tcar I have been a slave for a major newspaper for 20 years. selling the house cashin' in and gettin out of here to less expensive digs. My wife retired from a major airline a few years ago. Now it's my turn. Can't wait. I plan on working at what has been a hobby for a while, restoring vintage SXS shotguns, selling on ebay and doing the gunshow circuit. Of course i will still play music too. A slave no more!

Happy birthday!
And congratulations on some good retirement planning! When I'm 55, I'll have a 9 and a 13 year old. Barring unforseen fortune, I'll be working a long, long time

I too had no reason to believe I would be alive at 48 years of age.
Happy birthday, to you and Joe.

Thanks to all. it has been a great day. After work my wife took me on a date to the shooting range for 100 rounds, then I stuffed myself with ribs for dinner. Came home to a Loews gift certificate for $150.00 from my kids (?) It don't get any better, life is good and you all are a big part of that.
Thanks, Old T-Bird

So, I guess "Angry & Irrational Child" is just for old time's sake, eh? . 'Takes discipline and smart planning to retire at 55. Congratulations!...and good luck with your new adventure.
