Dick, I think i'd retire early.

Hi Rex:
I retired in 08 and never wanted to go back. Wish I could of done it earlier when my body would have let me do a lot more things than I can do now.
I hope your last season was great. Have lots of fun out in CO.

Dick, We are planning our usual June and September trips.
5 more years for this "kid". I have to wait for "rule of 85" (years of Service + Age = 85) .
We have been enjoying the property.

I still am not sure if momma is going to be willing to take the leap into off grid living.

She wants to be able to not have bugs, sleep without hearing my snoring, use the toilet without having to walk outside to the outhouse in the dark, take a shower periodically (go figure!)
Have the well, just need to do a few upgrades to get it shaped up a bit more for living.

Rex don't forget the shed for the dredge and mining equipment!

Wish you all the luck in the world. Who/what has this rule of 85-new one on me?-John

Hoser:

Most companies that offer retirement use it. Years of service + age must = 85 for 100% of benefits.

Lot of luck Rex hope it all works out for you.
