I really am lucky and I don't take it for granted. But I've worked damn hard to get here. 28 years of working in the hottest of hot and coldest of cold, dodging traffic and dealing with ticks, dogs, black widows and working on top of an 80 ft dam. Its just time. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the to do list is long and will take a while. First thing I have to do is paint a kids bedroom.

Something does not compute. Oh wait...I thought H2O meant now retiring after 50 cicada emergences...not 50 years!!! But seriously...congrats on that!

Thank you!! Scary and exciting at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Congrats at 50! I was supposed to do that but made a bad decision over 20 years ago. The crash of 2008 was the pouring of salt in old wounds. Definitely lucky, enjoy it especially if you're LEO! You've definitely earned it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be a long season out there unfortunately Seems like we're in a seasonal pattern over the last few years in which we see trough west, ridge east in winter and ridge west, trough east in summer. That might just be recency bias, but it feels like that's generally where we've been for a little while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
