Surprise to me but, I just got here so I don't know much of the history other than what I read. And what I've read has inspired me to take on my first tune. I've read the tutorials and ordered the kit. The GRT-4 is next on the list. I envy your retirement as mine is still on my wishlist. GTA has been an instant addiction for me and I understand I have you, in part, to thank for that. Relax, it's not as bad as that sounded. Enjoy but, not too much, it seems that you have a family here that will be looking forward to the "Wish You Were Here" postcards.

Gene de Tuna?, Thanks for Taking the load off the old Fart. Now he can do what he loves.
Bob, Thanks for working so hard to get it right. You are an asset to the AG scene and I appreciate all you have done. You are such a class act it is inspiring. I hope you enjoy a very well deserved FUN TIME!
Retired Mac1 Style. You get up early and work hard till you get tired. You take a 30 minute break and power Nap and then go till you get tired again. Retired means tired twice every day, but loving every minute of it. Les McMurray died Christmas Morning 1977 after working Christmas Eve at the age of 86. Talk about Retired. He wrote the book. He semi-retired when I was 5 in 1959. He and I lived together for his last few years after Grama passed.
God Bless and may your retirement last for a long time. Thanks for all you have done.

Phew, I almost missed this thread. Mr. Bob, I have enjoyed doing business with CharlieDaTuna and also enjoyed you posts on GTA. And best wished to Mr. Gene.
Since I retired, I get up in the morning with nothing planned. I go to bed at night thoroughly exhausted. And I accomplished only half of what I started that day. I WISH THE SAME TO BOTH OF YOU! Good luck and blessings on both of you "gentlemen of air gunning".

Congrats Bob and thanks to you and Gene for this forum since I have found much help and knowledge here.
How do you plan to have fun now that you have free time? Hunting? Fishing? Collecting? More time with family? All the above I hope.

You will find that retirement will be just as busy as working, if you choose to make it so. I still wonder when I found time to work, and I'm not really doing that much now. In any case, your life is now your own and you can choose to do whatever you want.
It is great that you and Gene have worked so hard to make sure everything you have been involved with here is going to continue without interruption and have things all lined up.
Thanks for all you have done, both here and in the context of triggers, etc. Congratulations, put your feet up and have a mature beverage!!

Good to know that I was one of the last to have his trigger order processed by the master himself!
Congrats, and thanks for a great product; I'm sure your wisdom on this board will have lasting effects!
Enjoy!
