dcarter Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I am a police officer. Can you guess for who? I get support for my "habbit" from the P.D. (ammo), and from my sponsor (major match fees). Can you believe my better half still gives me grief over how much I spend on my chosen sport? Oh well, I think she still loves me.

Keith Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I never really thought I'd still be here after 20 years but I help run the family business. (machining) I still do the QC stuff and recently started doing the books and all that goes with that. If anything it's nice to be able to go out and pick out a Bridegeport and work on my guns. I also did the reserve deputy thing for about 12 years. It started cutting into my shooting time so that had to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for working, when I was doing it, seemed like it went by slowly, now that I am not doing it, time really flies by...and it really is hard to figure out if you want to get up and shoot, fish, reload, hunt, kayak or just do nothing all day...who said being retired isn't hard...?

Hey TL, I was post #43, you have to get up early if your going to goof off all day. Fact is Benny makes coffee, or I make coffee, Merlin cant or wont make coffee, and if he did it wouldnt be fit to drink. Strange place, that Triangle, Benny and I wont lead or follow. And Merlin, well he's just Merlin, he's lost. I think I'm going to get another cup of coffee or maybe just go to lunch.-------------Larry Edited November 29, 2007 by Larry White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
