Title: Retirement
Post by: sparks on November 04, 2019, 01:51:30 PM
I will be retiring December 31st, 2019. I want to say how much I've enjoy talking and giving advise on the forum.
I'm sure Wood-Mizer will continue to support the forum and those on here with the help needed.

Enjoy retirement.  I highly recommend it!

Congratulations!  Remember to mix in some fun with all the other things retired people get into!  It is easy to try to do all the stuff around the house in the first couple of months. Whatever you choose to do enjoy!

Heck, you could even buy a Wood-Mizer sawmill and get into the Portable Sawing Business.  :D

Just spotted this thread. Many thanks for your help over the years.  Much appreciated by this old retired fellow.
I know you will enjoy yourself.  I retired a few days before 9-11 and my wife had to wake me up to see the mess
on TV. Thanks again for your help and courtesy.  Paul E. Randolph
