Official Status Update Thread 199 Is it Spring yet..??

[Sigblitz]

Definitely

 

[Sigblitz]

Lots of the same problem with that model on the interweb.

Finally a day off.

 

[churchmouse]

Had some good meatballs in spaghetti tonight with cheesy garlic bread.
Granddaughter wanted to help oil the guns. She did good. She's already asking for the 75B, the one I like. She went to bed smelling like gun oil.

Kimber 10mm has a bevel at the top of the feed ramp. It's not polished and looks factory. And the barrel sticks out past the bevel causing an obstruction. Only explanation is if the 45 barrel is a little shorter and they use the same frame design. Big screw up on their part. Only fix would be taking some off the barrel ramp.

Uh......It is a Kimber after all.....

But I digress. My brand new TRP tactical was mailed back to springer today. It is new and I am now getting up in its knickers.

 

[actaeon277]

hello mouse.

 

[Sigblitz]

I had the day off. It was nice.

This should be my 2nd day off.
But... I was called in for an extra midnight. I showed up late for it.
They were so desperate, they called in a trainee that worked with me for 2 whole weeks.

 

[Sigblitz]

Now it's back to work tomorrow. Good to be working though instead of on the other side of the fence. Nothing's certain.

True.
But... I'm tired of 56 hours a week minimum.
I'd like to have a life.

 

[Sigblitz]

My job sucked for years. Nights, holidays, in freezing weather all the time. I paid my dues. Welding in the rain. Having a 24 hr maintenance emergency when I'm ready to clock out. I don't feel bad at all going home at 3.

 

[Sigblitz]

I know how tough it is on you Act. Been there.

 

[Sigblitz]

I don't miss it. Been pretty lucky lately.

 

[actaeon277]

Well, hopefully I can leave in 4 years. get a job during the day. 40 hours or less

 

[Sigblitz]

Or just collect your pension and do ingo all day.

I'll be a little young for that.
I'm 51 now, so I'll be 55 when I hopefully leave.
A bit young for social security, and too early for my 401k.

But.. my house should be paid off.

 

[mom45]

Hubby started collecting his pension at 55. He highly recommends it!

Oh I'll collect it. But I'm sure I'll have to work also.
Someone tried to tell me that I'll get less money because I start drawing so early. But I can't see that anywhere. I even had had 3 estimates from the companies retirement system.
I think he's just one of these guys that just wants to spew old ideas, thinking he's right.

 

[Sigblitz]

Must get sleep. Brain not working. Good night all.

Oh pack of puppies have been running around the house the last couple days. Getting exercise. They're like a swarm following your feet.

 

[actaeon277]

Night.

I'm still here for a while

You get less than if you worked until age 65 because you obviously aren't paying into it as long. We decided it was worth it to retire younger and be able to collect for more years and enjoy life a bit. He was laid off for several months every winter anyway so his pay actually went up when he retired because he was collecting year round and wasn't spending a fortune on gas/tolls, etc. traveling to Lake County to work all the time. He never had jobs close to home.
