It has been a year

[micro911]

I retired in January 2016. It's been a year already. Time sure flies fast.

Since I retired last year, my older son and daughter got married, I finished college courses, took 2 month road trip driving around all 48 states.

I don't know what lies ahead in 2017, but I am sure it will also pass quickly. Hope all of you have a healthy and safe career and eventually enjoy the retirement.

Oh, by the way, I am going to the SHOT show in Vegas next week. Any of you going?

Congrats micro on the first year of retirement and your great family events!

Please post your Shot show AAR when you have a chance for those (me ) that are not able to make it!

Next you have to drive to Alaska.

Next you have to drive to Alaska.

I think I am going to Hawaii and Alaska this year, unless other things happen. Driving to Alaska without a gun through Canada...hmmm...I drove around all 48 states with my concealed pistol without a problem, but Canada may not be a good idea.

Congrats on the first year. Hard to believe I'm coming up on 6 years in March, plus another year that I was off due to an injury and recovering from two more surgeries.

Planning a month long trip to Europe for next fall. I'll probably take at least one trip to Utah this summer with the grandkids.

Life is good.

I didn't think that was legal.




Seriously, congrats on your retirement. I've still got a bunch of years left before I can join you. But I guess I'm half way there...I only work 1/2 time and I love my job.

Well, it appears to be that way, isn't it? I didn't think about it when I wrote..But, no worries, each has own spouse.

Congrats on the first year of retirement. I keep hearing all kinds of stats about people "wasting away" after they retire. It's good to see you're taking care of yourself and doing things that even myself who only has 5 years in are jealous of.

I'll be there Wednesday and Thursday. We have to work today and tomorrow, but I'll be driving up after work. I'll leave Thursday after the show. It'll be a pretty quick trip this year. I'm thinking I might take the week off next year so I can go Tues-Thurs.

Maybe I will see you there. I haven't seen you for a long time.

I'll be looking for you!

I'm on year 6 and it just gets better and better. I did stay a reserve, though. Not every retired cop'so cup of tea. Congrats

It is getting better for sure. I have been working some cases on the side that bring me some pocket changes.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought that was worded a little funny LOL.

Congrats OP, sounds like you're making the most of it.

Meh, 1yr, 6yrs.....It will be 14yrs. for me at the end of March. I'm joking of course, so congrats micro on the 1yr.....you too Ron. It sounds like you both are enjoying it, so keep on doing it.

I'll be looking for you!

If you have never been there, you will be amazed at how big the convention really is. Not only do you have the actual convention hall with hundreds of exhibitors, you have all of the conference rooms in the Venetian too. Plus, there are 1000s of people attending it each day. The only way you two are going to meet up is if you call/text each other beforehand and make arrangements to meet.

I had planned on going this year, but things didn't work out. I went the last two years and enjoyed it, despite the amount of walking involved (a little harder for me than for most). Enjoy yourself guys.
