Thanks for the Birthday wishes Roger.
I also want to thank everyone else that has sent me a PM wishing me a Happy Birthday...
I am also officially retiring from farming after 27 years, so today is even more of a special day for me. I turned off my irrigation pump hopefully for the last time.
My summers from now on will be totally free for traveling and/or boating. Or whatever.....
Thanks again everyone....

ditto to what arthureld said
An old farmer once told me if he had a million bucks, he's STILL farm until that was gone!

Joe,
I didn't think you could "retire" from farming? I thought that was one of those jobs you did until you froze in the barn one winter.
Congrats on the birthday and the retirement.

Retired?! What the hell? 107 is not so old.
Happy Birthday Joe. Does this mean you're selling the farm and moving up here now? Hmmm?

Well thanks again everyone.
As most of you know I am not 107 years old, although some days I feel like it...
When I put my information in my profile, the default year came up as being born in 1900... Sounded good to me...
If I had a million dollars I would still retire from farming.... :)
Nope, don't plan on retiring yet from doing this. Actually, this will give me more time to do this along with looking for obsolete parts when I travel. Maybe a Whaler or two also..... :)
I will probably still freeze in the barn some winter.... :)
Nope, don't plan on moving yet but you never know.... :)
Yes, I plan to be on the water more even if it isn't in my Outrage 18'..... :)
Now, back to retirement.............. B)
