    At the ripe old age of 57 the FW was offered a early retirement package from 3M after almost 39 years of service. We’ve been busting our tails to get our house on the market, 31 years of “stuff”. This morning I filled out the change of address card and as of Sunday we’ll be living at the lake in Nevis!

    We’re pretty fired up to say the least! Just a matter of time before I complain about the citiots! rotflol

    Congrat’s Scott! I’m super happy for you and your wife. Nevis sure is a nice area. Since we got our cabin in WI, we only make it up to my folks in Nevis about twice a year, but maybe I’ll see you in The Ironhorse sometime when we make it up!

    Congrats Scott! But don’t think you can just kick your feet up, I’ll be expecting detailed reports every time I’m up now and will be happy to supply your drink of choice in exchange! See you at the Meat Raffle soon!
