I am no longer employed by UPS. Hell! I am no longer emloyed!!! Turned my ID badge and other stuff Monday morning. The FAA says I am too old to fly the big ones. So I kissed them all goodbye and came home. The best part was, my flight home stopped in Vegas and I won $92.00 at the $1.00 slots!! Woo Hoo!
Cheers, Elliot

Congradulations Elliot,

You payed your dues my friend. In more way than one sheeplove.gif

I was stoked to hear you went to the Islands and bought youself a six.

I like the thought of you enjoying life and living part of your dream.

ya know... You and I have been talking about this retirement thing of yours for a couple of years now.

And I know it was looking like you were gunna get screwed close to the end.

Yet it turned out really well.

AND: This is the probably the only time I will ever say anything nice to you or about you in a public place.

So i will get it out of the way.

I am glad I met you. Your a good man. And ya tell great story's to boot. You have so EARNED THIS RETIREMENT.

I hope this means the gang gets to see you more often now. Dude, I will see you at Joes on the 7th... Da BBQ from hell....!!!!

NOW that I have said kind and ingratiating things about you in a public display of care and humility..... FOR NO MONEY.... (not like last time)

Will you make me a deal on the black four or is it already gone to a good home. And do you take payments? And do you have a young daughter for sale? I mean rent... Aw hell... you know what I mean.....

C'mon Elliot.. For Christ sakes. I said something NICE about you... In Public even... I even spelled your name right this time.....!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude.. you owe me now...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on retiring from a career in Aviation! beerchug.gif

Aviation was a fun lifestye, but also a tough one. I'm glad that I am back in the Air Force...they can't furlough me. biggrin.gif

Wow, glad you finally made it Elliot.

If it were not for the age restriction that limited your options and aside the politics at 'Big Brown' would you have wanted to remain 'employed'?

If the answer is yes, for how much longer would you have, perhaps, worked?

There is no such thing as retired. you just start something differant that you work at just as hard. if you dont you just dry up and blow away.
