[On pulling the plug...]

I retired in early December of 2016. I told them that July of 2017 was it for me, so they laid me off. I still got a Christmas bonus, unemployment and medical ins. for a year.

[Retirement...]

After spending 48 yrs. in the auto industry, I retired on Dec.7,2016, 7 months shy of my 66th birthday. I'll collect Unemployment until then and then collect Social Security and my union pension. I don't miss the job, but I do miss some of the people.

[Nicest People]

I enjoy reading the keyboard battles that take place on some Youtube videos. If talk could kill, there would be a lot of dead bodies slumped over keyboards with Youtube on the monitors. The SASS site has very good administrators, who keep a close eye on the posts and troublemakers are usually dealt with quickly.

[Prices on the Colt SAA]

I bought a brace of consecutively numbered SAAs in .45 Colt (4.75 in. barrels) off the SASS classifieds for $2400, 6 yrs ago. The prices seem to fluctuate a lot. It seems to be a right time, right place sort of thing.
