Even though you won't need it, good luck with everything you do. I am sure with a few more hours a day, you will find how to push your photography and PC'ng even further.

congratulations and good luck...

[mxdad]

Congratulations Ken!!!

[quadfamily]

Good luck to you and congratulations! Kudos for sticking with your job this far and not letting down the people you worked for because I know you wanted to do this a long time ago. I know you'll be successful!

[Pappy]

First, thanks everyone:p i always try and do my best no matter what it is.

I geuss for all purposes, its all over. I will still be on the payroll for a few more weeks as a consultant to the new owners and to tie up any loose ends that are found but no more 2 hour commute, no more worrying about running a multi million dollar business, no more worrying about employees etc....just me and what life brings from here on out.

[Quad18star]

Congratulations Ken.

Ya know , when my dad retired , he figured he was just going to sit back and relax ...... but now he's found himself busier than ever. LOL


Now that you'll have all this free time , it might be time for a trip north of the border. Bring the camera and I'll get a few snowmobiles from work. I'll introduce you to a whole "new" sport .... you'll love it. That's if you can take the cold weather. Haha!!!;)

[IOWAracer]

I wish you the best of Luck Ken PS check your PM's

[sunco]

U only get one chance at life , so make it count Pappy. Welcome into the unknown. I've been here for awhile, they tell me 26 years. I remember some of it:)

As they say " The 1st steps a dozzieee"

LOL

See ya at the Breeze

[Pappy]

Well it isnt the big step some take as I have had the PC business running for some time. Yesterday was my first full day and I would just as well like to erase it:p My head still isnt in the game be it emotional or have to do with the meds for my shoulder but i just wasn't with it and it cost me having to redo a frame:p

Today, so far much better outlook and i am sure it will get better as time goes on. It isn't just me, as my wife was also employed by the same company although she has about 6 weeks left before she is official gone. So, with both of us facing this it has been taxing.

Oh well, a little challenge in life is a good thing:)

[Nausty]

congrats man!

I retired six years ago at age 35 and have loved every minute of it.

Fishin four days a week, and screwing off the other three.

Retired at 35?? :confused: What did you do ??

[Quadfather]

I quit drinking two cases of beer a day at age 33 and made some smart decisions.

[NacsMXer]

Congrats Pappy, and good luck on your future endeavors ;)

I appreciate your PC customer service and setting things straight when there was a small mishap. A business owner who goes out of their way to ensure their customer's satisfaction is becoming a scarcity these days, and says a lot about you :)

Anxious to see what you churn out with the days to come..:macho
