Welp, after 18 years with my (now former) employer, I turned in my laptop and badge today and am officially retired! I was a 'mid-career' hire and my second day at work was 9-11, will never forget that! We're planning to relocate to TN so we can be close to our divorced son and two grandkids (currently 4.5 and 2.5).
Our new (substantially downsized) place is on one acre that backs up to a 140 acre farm, so we'll have cows to look at, but won't have to do any chores! Unfortunately, that means all my farm kit won't be needed, and in fact, I've already sold off most of my haying equipment (still have a couple of $400 hay racks if anyone needs one in Central IL).
I'll transport the tractors down and once I finish using them to build a 30x40 shop, will put the Boomer 8N up for sale - it'll bring a far better price in horse country than around here. I've not decided on the '50 8N yet, as it won't really have any useful work to do on one acre. We'll see once we get down there and settled in.
Any advice you retired guys can give (besides stay out from under my wife's feet)? :wink:
