retiring?
yerp.
That's cool!
good for you. Will the moustach also be retiring?
It appears and disappears on an irregular basis.
Thanks, Steve!
Soooo... Whole Enchilada?
Nice! So what are your retirement plans?
That would be one of the items on my bucket list...
Ride, camp, build and maintain trail, mess with my woodlot, figure out how to balance time with Hilarie and time away...
...and more time for Monkeyfesting shenanigans?
I have never had problems getting away for Monkeyfest, and did my two week trip last year with various riding friends.
If, however, I decided to take, say, a month for maybe a drive out to Colorado and Utar or to wander in New Zealand, or Argentina, I would at a minimum need to find someone to keep grass at bay in the yard.

Work is for suckers.
Can I go with you to New Zealand?
If I go to NZ I will be putting out the call.
go with him? he'll probably ask you to mow his lawn!

BRAVO Sir, BRAVO
Steve,
If I was absent other commitments, there'd be no van, just me on the Moonlander starting in new Haven, Vermont, destination Tierra Del Fuego. However, a certain lifetime commitment intercedes. Wyoming and Montana are also on my bucket list.
i've seen pictures of a few tandem fatbikes floating around. just sayin'
Are you going to train your replacement or will your employer have to find someone else to maintain the water-wheel and operate the steam-donkey? Will they have to update the abacus?
Westy, you don't even want to know the replacement scenario - they're selling services today that we're not staffed to deliver. When I came back in July I was hoping to see some sort of planful and orderly transition; what I have seen is chaos and bureaucracy, worse than I have seen since this company started in 1993. Two of us old dogs have a pretty clear idea of what we would need to put in place; I don't believe it'll happen in the next three months and I'm unwilling to continue into the spring and summer continuing to watch madness unfold.
good for you on recognizing it was time to pull the ripcord
Congratulations on your retirement, Peters! Have you started scoping out retirement communities in Florida or Arizona, and how are the shuffleboard and bocce skills coming along?
You might need to buy a new bike perfect for cruising around the retirement community in Florida.
Maybe it comes in Root Beer color?

Congrats! Do retirees get discounts in VT ski and bike parks?
It's about time you jumped from that ship. Congratulations on the retirement. Now, get out there and keep making me jealous (be sure to post pictures).
The best skiing and biking in VT doesn't require a pass or a park/resort. You just have to know where to look.
