Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 After 34 years delivering mail, I am retiring at end of month. I will finally have more than 6 weekends off a year and be able to shoot more than 3 or 4 Cowboy matches a year now. The way we have been worked this last year I havent been able to shoot any (Well there was those 4 months after surgery last fall- winter) anyhow, I am scared and yet happy to be leaving that part of my life. My customers on my route I have had last 4 1/2 years are really unhappy but They are happy for me too. So now I have to decide which match first... Green Mountain/ orrrrr maybe someplace in New Mexico... orrrrr hey go to our land in Vermont and shoot some club up there.....
StirrupTrouble Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Good for you! Congrats on getting more time to shoot
Ivery Keys #11974 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Three cheers for Muleshoe Bill, thirty four years of service. Hoping these will be the best years of your life...
Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 retirement is great--was a bit 'worried' before mine but it is great. Folks say I look 10 years younger and now have a smile on my face. That will be the same for you cheyenne

Limpalong Cassidy Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Congratulations don't be scared stay busy and enjoy your self. I think you will wonder how you ever had time to work. I know I did.
Boon Doggle Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Congratulations Bill. Once you get all your travelin' out of the way, and your honeydo list finished, get your sorry butt down to Lockhart. Remember, retirement is not all it's cracked up to be. It's a darn sight better.
Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 BOONDOOGLE!!!! How I have missed you .. I have a great tale to tell about TrueblueChacoo!!!!!! There I was laying on the table being wheeled into surgery and I heard her voice (I was terrrified about the surgery) and when I knew it was here, all my fears disappeared. Now I have to admit, once I woke, I jumped up and started to get dressed to get the H out off there, but man she made this ol cowboy's mind easy going into that cutting (oh yeah wrist is not too shabby either) I intend to see you guys in August!!!!! and thanks agin I have missed you and the group
