A wonderful thing has happened...

[Sbrem]

We have sold our shop to someone looking to expand, and as of end of day tomorrow, I will be retired! 52 years as a screenprinter, 49 doing t-shirts. From stapled mesh to Roller and Shur-loc frames, tray developing films in a darkroom to PMT to inkjet onto film, and all the other stuff in that time, it's been a great ride. Though the last few years have been an ass kicking between being forced to move in 2018 and Covid in 2020, I still love the work, but it's time. I'll be 72 at the end of the month, and my wife needs me to be home. I need me to be home too, lol.
This group is about as fine a group of people as I've ever had discussions with. I've been given help on countless projects, and have given help a few times as well. Never a contentious argument (I stayed out of the hot zone) and always pleasant and respectful. So thank you ladies and gentlemen, may your futures be bright, happy and fruitful.

So happy for you!  Really!.  I hope I make it living long enough to actually retire. and I'll also probably be in my 70's when I do.
Good on ya.

[Frog]

Yep, good for you.
As folks on the forums along with many of my clients know, I've been talking retirement for ten or so years now, but with me, it's been a gradual thing. I kinda' like it at the level I am at now. Plenty of extra time, but still an income to fund my interests and vices.
I like the fact that you treated it as one sudden jump into the water, or perhaps in your case, more like one sudden push!
Enjoy!
