No not the song, I beat Jim to the retirement gig, LOl. 8 more hours tomorrow and I'm free from this world of Punishment

of  cheap labour. Had a short 8 month pre retirement last year and got hooked. It's not like it was when I started, high

stress with medium pay, You supply your own tools and they supply minimal to get by. Car Dealership life of a Tech.

Don't make a mistake cuz we won't pay you  to fix it. Flat rate gig. Time to rest and see what happens. Maybe tour around a bit, 

maybe even tour thru Canada next year. If ya see the Me walking the street picking up beer cans, Throw me out a few, LMAO. 

Yup no Pension at the Dealership either so save your own. Am I sad I did this for a living, YUP. did I learn lots yes, was my trade to be in 

when  I first started, but then came fuel injection and computers, now we have 40-100 computers on today cars, if not more. Time to get OUT.

 I'm excited for you. The only regret you will have will be the regret of not doing it sooner.

Real cute.

When the wife turned 50 someone put 50 bras on her garden in front of the house, all shapes, sizes, and colours. Never did find the culprit.
