Unplanned retirement????

[Ruffuss]

Known they might, looking back could see it coming, They said Sept 26th or before. My before is the 9th. Anyone want tools, parts, shevling units at 75% off + my discount?? Let me now.
If it wasn't for the cost of health insurance I'd welcome it. I could follow the work to either Cinn. Ohio or Melrose Ill.. Not intersted in moving, relocating or helping them out! Went through the I'm pissed stage, feeling sorry for, hoping it didn't happen, kiss my lily white.
Our last supper(lunch) is Friday I may go, may not? Already gone through employees with less then 10 yrs service, I'm next. Went from 70 some techs during peak to 8 not counting me now. They said they'd help find us a new postion within or out side the company, didn't happen except for a limited few(suck butts) and management. At peak we averaged 500 to 800 mowers a week and they say they didn't make any profit??

Kenn, being semi-retired isn't all bad I have a good friend that runs a mower repair business out of his home/garage. He's expanded/added onto the house twice. "There's money in them hills" If you're thinking of setting up a business; look me up to discuss.

Good luck to whatever you choose.

Thanks Ray,
I do want to start a small repair shop as when they're gone there will be a need in our area. But where I'm at there isn't that option, township doesn't allow it. I'm pressing my luck already.
If it weren't for the lack of and/or cost of health insurance I would be alright. I have some very hateful/ non understanding neigbors until they need the help.
I still have access to the equipment needed For cheap! to start a shop. Host/lift and such.
Just think more time to hunt, fish and enjoy VW's. I'd say sleep in, but that would be until 5am. We'll make it through this, been there done that. Thanks again we'll talk later.

Hey Kenn,

Sorry to hear of the "unplanned" part.

I know you will find a way to make up for the $ and hope that way is even more rewarding than just the bucks.
