Congratulations, Dave. I pulled the pin a couple of months ago (a few years early because if I'd hung in till 65 I would have been in too much pain to enjoy life) & even though I've been busier now getting the house ready for sale than when at work, retirement is the best thing I've done. No timetable, no idiots, just poke along getting ready to hit the road full time. Ute (BT50 Freestyle) is almost completely set up how I want, van (Coromal Lifestyle 667XC) is slated for pick up last week in November & then my lady & I will be on the road full time.

Darrell

smilesmilesmilesmile I am now officially out of the work force and on the Governments books, and My wife finishes up next wednesday also, so to celebrate we are off to Pottsville NSW for the week in the van.smilesmilesmile

Fishing and reading are the only things on the agenda, oh and relaxing by the water.

Onya Dave, you will now wonder how you ever had time to go to work.  Enjoy your retirement and travel safe.

Cheers!

Chris

Retirement. Now you'll be busy. You'll wonder where the days go or rather which day it is! Have a great break and start getting used to it.

 Enjoy those few days relaxing, because when you get into the groove it will get very busy, just trying to fit in all the things you will wish to do.LOL.      Welcome aboard.      juggle.gif
