    I retired in 2009 and wonder when I had time to work. Hoping to do some hunting this fall. Fishing is on the present calendar.

    Congrats, Dan. I forgot which Power company you worked for? I'm bearing down on 34 years, but not with the same company. I'm not sure I could've worked for the same place my entire career. Good for you!

    Not sure, but I’ll let you know.
    Congratulations. My retirement lasted about two years, then I got bored. Got a part time job offer from a local company and I took it. Get to travel, work with good people and make some really good extra money.

    My late grandfather did the same thing. Went back to work after 5 years retirement. Me? I retired in 2009 and never have been bored...nine grandkids and one great-grandson, hunting, fishing, woodworking. Many people retire and have no interests, hobbies, etc. to occupy their time.

    Plenty of interests and hobbies, hunting, fishing, camping and we travel all over the world.
    I just enjoy working and being around the guys out in the field. Also, the extra paycheck is nice when something comes up I want. Don’t have to worry if I can afford it.
