Rough and tumble types, drink a lot, fight some, drink more, eat some!!
So Whats different now--trouble is I haven`t got the energy for fightin, but I can still drink a lot,eat too much and periodically loose my rag, all of which are bad for my health--only kidding. I do loose my rag with people who dont take care of our gear. Lost it yesterday on a boat job. Some idiot put 2 wheelbarrows on top of a Mercury outboard which was laid in the hold of the craneboat( until I get time to fit it.) I was so cross.Probably heard me shouting 2 locks away.

It might be nice if you could work on a few jobs from time to time when there's nothing else going on or it's an interesting job. Great to have a pension in retirement. I wasn't fortunate enough to work for a company long term that had a pension plan. I'm getting early disability pension now but it's not very much. Still better than nothing. Just wish I didn't ache so much and get so fatigued. I try to do what I can so I'm not in worse shape. Congrats on making to retirement still in pretty good shape.

I moved the start month to April, and I'll have my 50 hours in next week.
The current job will start up again for a couple of days around May 1. Good timing.
It takes 30~60 days to get sorted out. When the deposits hit the bank it will get real.
