I Retired Today
Hello to the forum.
Today is my last day of work, but I took a vacation day. 
I'm hoping I don't get a call tomorrow, and somebody yelling, "April Fools" 
I retired as a mechanic from the city that I live in. Local Government.
Just wanted to say hi,  , and after looking around here a bit, I know that I have a few questions for you seasoned retired folks.

Eight years ago yesterday, only because the 31st was on a Saturday. Haven't looked back or regretted the decision for a minute. And my j*b at the time was also with a government agency.

Wow. Thanks so much to everyone for the kind comments. Seems like a great group of people here. What an awesome welcome........... 
I had about 70 hours of unused vacation time, so I took my last two days off.
Looking forward to what will come.
Thanks again for the warm welcome.
