Do you ride the Spyder to work? :roflblack:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I sold my business last November but the guy that bought the business wanted me to work part time for the next five years. I can go were I want and help when I want as long as I answer the phone when a question comes up all is great. Is it retirement, not really but after working from the age of 16 , I have to sort of slide into the role.
We bought a toy hauler so I can do a little exploring of this great country and bring the spyder,while I can still move around. Maggie Valley will be the first shot at that then winter in Texas this year . tommorrow unckle sam will give me my first ss check , hope that lasts for a while. :yes: One day at a time:clap:

So here's a story for ya....So a couple of weeks ago my boss asked me and another gal if we would be interested in volunteering to work on Sundays, thru the summer, working 6 days in a row, because they could not afford to hire another person. It would be working in my current position with them. When the other gal took the first Sunday, found out it was not in my present position but in a different dept I hate working in. I let my boss know I would not be able to do it (voluntary). Last Thursday I got called into "the Ofc" with her and our General Manager, and told it was no longer voluntary but mandatory and I would have to do it. She said I could think about it. I did, called my husband, he said quit, so I did. After 8yrs of loyal and dependable service, I quit!!!!! Since I had already retired from my previous profession after 27yrs., doing this as a fun retirement job, I was finally able to let go and am now retired, (for 4 days) at the age of 62. Can't explain the feeling of liberation and freedom! So, maybe Spyderfest next year?? Who knows, but never dreamed I would go out that way. And it happened to be on the same day as our 30th wedding anniversary:yes::yes::barf:
:congrats: on your 30th wedding anniversary, and your new found freedom. It is obvious they did not appreciate you at that job and you made the right move. I learned a long time ago that you have to take care of yourself because nobody else is going to. :thumbup:

I like the not working, and the 50 mile rides to pick up my mail at the corner mail boxes. Like others, I don't like the pay going away.
Not fully retired, still teaching a couple classes per semester at the University. Each class is only one night a week, so I get a lot of time for other things now.
I thought I would miss the day work--but it only took me about a week to get over that.
