Tired again!

retired at age 61 due to complications with diabetes last year. As the old retired saying" I was tired yesterday, I was tired today and I will be tired tomorrow."

Now on to the hard job; working with rebellious 13 year old grandson on homework to try to keep him from failing the 7th grade. This could be my biggest challenge, but failure is not an option!

I knew I recognized you......Shangri-las??? Right???

Good looking women that want to ride on the Spyder are very numerous. Unfortunately my wife carries a handgun legally in all 50 states AND she still shoots 300.

Phase 1 retired...

Did my 27 years, 7 months, and 22 days with the USAF and retired 1 Jun of 2012. I went back to work for the same command (after a 3 month break) to finish an initiative for service members I really believe in. Once that's done, it'll be full-time retirement... :thumbup:

New to the three-wheel world...just purchased my 2014 RTS after my doc said I wouldn't be riding two-up for at least a year (had to have 'unexpected' open heart surgery) which meant I wouldn't be riding at all (the wife loves to ride). So we test rode a Spyder and although the ride is different...it completely sold us on making the switch! :spyder2:

The clock is ticking on the Phase 2 retirement plan...if all goes well it should happen no later than August 2017!:clap:

Jack, what band was it? I'm an old rock and roll fan.

Sadly, not retired and probably won't be for the foreseeable future.:gaah:

Check your PM.

As I read this thread, I was wondering the same thing. That and all the military folks too. Guess I'll throw my deal in the mix. Retired military and retired State Trooper. Keeping busy caring for my wife and running my kayak fishing charter business. One employee, me--one boss, me.:yes:

Now that's funny. :joke: They were an all girls group that recorded "Leader of the Pack". I wonder where they are now?

Retired in 2001 after 34 years in engine design at Deere. Had one weak moment a year later when I went back on contract for 7 months. We found out that we could ryde all year round by spending winters in AZ and summers in IA. Been enjoying Lyfe ever since. Will be heading back to IA via Spyderfest.

Retired from the US Air Force in 1984 after 20 years, 2 months, 15 days; retired in 2005 from DOD Civil Service after 20 years, 1 month, 15 days; 18 months in between working for Boeing as a flight mechanic (those people are crazy and expect you to work 10-12 hours a day 7 days a week). Retirement is the best job except the pay is not the best.
