  1. DD69, Bill and I will both be in Tucson, going in with  AIM.  I will look you up, been a long time!

    Mike.  Retirement.  

    I joked about it when I was 14, because 65 was "really old age", so I told my friends and family that I would retire by 40....I missed by 2 years, 42!  :P You can't second guess the price of oil and since I was a drilling consultant, when oil went down my day rate went down!  

    I had no plans to retire in Feb of 1985, oil was $42 and dropped to $16 almost overnight.  I had just got home from a 18 month contract with Exxon at $1745 per day, a month later, I was offered a contract at $125 per day....That's retirement. :rolleyes::wacko:

    Lots of friends, gave me ideas on what to do...Join the local Lions, I did that.  Wife said we could travel more in coach and by ship, we did that and I also took up golf.....everything we had was paid for, including a house in Grand Cayman!  

    Looking back, I have no regrets.  Never have I been bored in all these years!  😍
