It is done.

The moving van came and took all my inventory and now I am out of business.
We had the contract signing at lunch time today, witnessed by no less a
person than Bob Williamson of Legrace who many of you know.  I am now
officially an unemployed bum, yes!  yes!! yes!!

Connie and I heartily congratulate you.  Now that you're retired, the real work begins . . . (and we're not kidding).

Congrats Fred.  Now you will find out why we never have enough time to do things when we are retired.  I always wonder how I worked and lived my life in the past.  Much Health & Happiness in your future.

Now that you're retired you will see that we talk about doctors, procedures, pills & (yes) cruising destinations instead of sex, drugs & rock 'n roll.

Life is good -- AND then it just gets better.

Fred,

I agree that you should write a book about your extensive knowledge and love for your boating area!!!

My vote for a book title would be:  "The Hudson River & Erie Canal - A Locals Guide Book"

Then I would contact Ted Stehle of Waterways Guides to publish and market it for you.  < tstehle@skipperbob.net >.  Ted is the present owner of Skipper Bob's books.
