Entered Retirement



Hello, Everyone.

A week ago, DW and I got into a discussion about me retiring. After about 3 hours, we decided to make it effective the following day. Which, I did. She will most likely follow after 43 years at Reith-Riley Construction Company.

So, for now since it is about winter and the old Challenger is winterised and I have a "honey-do" list around the house, we may start to do a little traveling in 2012. But, first I have all of the parts for complete rebuild of the suspension on the Challenger which, includes new 3500 lb spring packs and wet bolt kits.

Thus, starts a new chapter in our lives.

Holy Cow, Gang!! Thank you for all of these congratulations and salutations!!

Now that I am not working for that other "Quiet Company", I'll be able to now legally spend more time on this forum and throw in my 2 cents on issues. Over the last 5 years, working in two manufacturing facilities for that company has taught me a lot! You folks would not beleive the simularities in issues. And, there has been so many times I was brousing thru this forum but, had to NOT respond! Now, I am a "free agent" and can say whatever I want.
