winding down

[petefrom bearswamp]

After my 3rd 4th or 5th maybe 6th career I a going to wind down my sawing business this year and take up my Maybe 7th or 8th ( i forget which) career 
I have discovered fishing. A lot of fishing.
Not that I didnt fish in my earlier life, I did, but just seems that holding a rod waiting for a fish to bite is better than wrassling a 50 to 75 pound slab off of the mill and then handling many 10 to  20 to 30 pound ,maybe more boards, stacking, sticking and moving a stack of boards is not as much fun as it used to be.
I plan to either sell the mill or maybe, if he is of a mind to do so , give it to my son.
will keep logging on to the forum and at Linda's insistence attending the pig roast as long as old folks can do it.
Luv all of U guys.
Pete

Pete, you've done your hard time, enjoy yourself and do as you please. Frank C.

Congratulations on your decision, and it's always best to leave when you are on your game, and on your terms.  

This year I made a resolution myself, take a break and head for the lake at least once a week, but I've been going more.  So I'm with you all the way and if you're ever down here in north Alabama, pack your favorite rod and we'll hit the lake.

Pete, 

   On the way down to or on the way back from Alabama to see the Yellowhammer feel free to stop off here and we'll go jerk some baitfish out of the lake and set out a few catfish lines or just go harass some bluegills. Last time I was down there the Mayfly hatch was so thick I had to go upstream to swifter water to find an open spot I could get a hook in. In cases like that it looks like piranhas out there boiling the water. Enjoy the plan but stay flexible for that next career opportunity. They might need a lady's swimsuit consultant or such somewhere.

You Sir are well blessed. Wife and a fishing rod. Go forth and enjoy.

[doc henderson]

Pete, glad we can still hear from you and gain from your knowledge and experience.

[Southside]

Pete,

Congratulations on the decision. I hope you can attend Jakes event again next year if nothing else for the social component. I enjoyed meeting you there.

[Chuck White]

Congratulations on your decision, Pete!

Just don't wind down of the DeGrasse camp!

Missed you last Fall, hope to see you this Fall!

[caveman]

The offer is still open if you make it back down here.  I am looking forward to the day when I can retire from my day job and spend more time running the mill and fishing.

[Ed_K]

 Be looking for you on the Pro Bass Tour ;D.

[Raider Bill]

Cheese smuggling is a very fulfilling career.

[CCCLLC]

Good luck Pete, hope to still see some posts from you. Maybe some pics of large fish slabs.

[WV Sawmiller]

Cheese smuggling is a very fulfilling career.

And he can smuggle grits back up to the frozen wastelands. :D

[K-Guy]

Enjoy your new career!!

Just remember they call it fishing not catching!! ;D ;D

[thecfarm]

Not this frozen wasteland, I have The Guards on the Kittery border on high alert.

[GAB]

Do like I did, come in from the North there were no guards there.
Oh Hi Ray.

Not this frozen wasteland, I have The Guards on the Kittery border on high alert.

What high alert? I heard the guards at the border let all their riff-raff through into Maine and improved both places in doing so. :D :D
