Today was my last day at EXXON on my consulting job... GREAT MONEY BUT, 7 days a week 13 hours a day for 40 days straight gets old.....
I will be back at JSRE Monday AM....
Thanks for all the patience...

That's good news. Maybe the gas prices will come back down some now. We've noticed that they've been spiking in the last 40 days.:(

Yeah Jay, what about that..? I put pencil to paper and it seems that excessive fuel cost due to Your overtime wage has cost Me a moderate piggy bank, but I figure We can get back square after one of Your .015" over bore jobs and short block assembly or I'll be forced to write negative things about You on Port-O-Let walls... Crap aside, congratualtions Jay I know it must feel pretty dang warm and fuzzy to have earned a retirement... Make the most of it, good luck... Kevin Kiser

Before I retired I had a couple of places I did business with asking me to come and work for them. I told them I had a great job. Why would I leave a one job just to go back and work somewhere else? The consulting gig was great money, but working wasn't what being retired was all about for me.
welcome back j i might have a couple 260,s for ya to fix soon how backed up are ya

Bruster: Different strokes for different folks I always say ! As for myself I like to work, I have had 2 "jobs" for 20 years ( outboards and bike high performance engines building business ) .... I find different venues are great for me as I like the change of pace as well as subjects to work on /with. Also making as much money in 40 days as most make in a year was also an attraction for the SHORT term change of the consulting job. I would go nuts totally retired. As I said whats good for you or others ( total retirement ) would not be suitable for me with my hyper life style.
Thanks ya'll glad to be back !
Peace,
Jay
