Retired!!

After just a little over 29 years I'm officially retired from the Fire Department. Yesterday was my last shift. I had a nice dinner with my family and crew at the firehouse last night. It is bittersweet but definitely time to hand the wheel over to someone younger. I was a heavy equipment operator (Driver) for 24.5 of those years. Also served as an EMT all 29, was a fire inspector for a few years and was on our technical rescue and hazmat team. Someone asked where I was going to get my adrenaline rush from for now on, I stated finding treasure, competing in golf and practicing handgun self defense. That is if my wife and kids will give me the time, LOL.

I hear you about time, it does not seem possible that 29 years have gone by and yes I've seen just about everything. Some of it I just want to forget and some still brings a smile to my face.
I have played several golf tournaments, when I was at my best I was competing with some of the top amateurs in the state of WI.
Cant wait to celebrate my retirement in England with you next March. To bad we have to wait that long.
Thank you Tim
 
Let the fun begin!!! :envious: Sounds like you'll have much to keep you busy! Thanks for your service and congratulations! :beerbuddy:
