    Plus I'd get written up once in a while for an "Extra Miler" award.
    And that, besides the collar pin and certificate brought an extra
    $100 in my pay packet. Bv)=

    Very nice! I sure hope you get back to doing what you like soon!

    I'll probably not get a hub driver gig though. I'm currently 82 and
    next year I'll have 20 years in nas a Zoner. Gonna have to decide do
    I want to retire or not.

    Did you think you would stay this long when you took the job in your
    60's?

    I had no idea I was gonna get this old. Both my parental units went
    tits up in their mid-50s. Now I'm 82, my sister is 80 and our "kid"
    brother is 77. Lost the baby brother to mal-practice by post cancer
    treatments from a croaker who should have know better. Or so the court
    said. His widown and chirrun came out with a lot of $$$ but they'd
    rather have had Dad back.

    Wait until you're old before you retire Dave.

    Hi Dave,
    On <Fri, 12 Dec 24>, you wrote me:

    treatments from a croaker who should have know better. Or so the
    court said. His widown and chirrun came out with a lot of $$$ but
    they'd rather have had Dad back.

    Yeah that is sad. At least they ended up winning in court so the doc
    was suitably slapped.

    Wait until you're old before you retire Dave.
