I second that motion. Retirement has been the best thing for the wife and I.
I'm sure they will, but haven't heard anything yet. I really enjoy my job and my hours. I really don't have enough hobbies to keep me busy. I've worked my whole life from shoveling driveways and mowing yards to what I'm doing now. I was even going to college full time while holding down a full time job. I guess it's in my blood.Pull the trigger and don't look back. Do you know if they're offering severance packages ?
Got mine hooked up this morning . Piece of cake on the connecting . Interested to hear your thoughts . It's a slow read out , but that's nature of the beast I would think .I used my Temp Spike, it worked OK but will discuss it in another thread.
Thanks, they'll have to force me out. I'm not volunteering for anything. It's not a physically demanding job. So all my joints still work. It is stressful at times, but that keeps it interesting. I've got a friend from high school who laid carpet for a living. Both his knees are shot. He can barely walk. He retired early but his quality of life is suffering.

If the package is strong you should probably take it, many a time I have seen someone say no only to be "managed out" or laid off later with not nearly as good a package. Especially if you are at or near medicare age.Thanks, they'll have to force me out. I'm not volunteering for anything. It's not a physically demanding job. So all my joints still work.

I still have 3 years to go for medicare. Financially the house, cars, kids college, weddings, and a condo that I rent out are all paid for. I'd like to buy a new truck before I retire, but with inflation and interest rates. That may have to wait. Wife is on disability so she's on my insurance. I don't believe there will be any choice this time around. You either sign za papers old man, or you claim some type of discrimination and take your chances in court.If the package is strong you should probably take it, many a time I have seen someone say no only to be "managed out" or laid off later with not nearly as good a package.

At least you are in better shape than most out there. I would think if someone is on disability the insurance would come from that or the Govmnt?I still have 3 years to go for medicare.

She can get one of the medi's, but it's not that great.At least you are in better shape than most out there. I would think if someone is on disability the insurance would come from that or the Govmnt?
My Temp Spike was easy to get connected through the app and connects instantly when the spike is removed from the base/booster, faster than I can open the app. Range is sufficient in my home and if it does drop it re-connects quickly when back in range. The one thing that is disappointing is the accuracy of the ambient temp sensor. It is consistently 20-30* low and sometimes more. At the end of this cook the spike was getting build up baked on it and the temp started dropping until it was 80* low while the pit temp remained the same. IT temp seems to be fairly close so the Temp Spike is still very useful with a rotisserie. I like this thermometer but am glad I didn't give a 100 bucks for it. Hope this opinion helps Rich, and thanks for asking.Got mine hooked up this morning . Piece of cake on the connecting . Interested to hear your thoughts .

I was surprised it did both . I just messed with mine a little bit this morning . As long as it's close for IT that's all I'm looking for .IT temp seems to be fairly close so the Temp Spike is still very useful with a rotisserie.
My tappaque wireless spike came in today, Have to wait till Xmas so the wife can give it to me.I was surprised it did both . I just messed with mine a little bit this morning . As long as it's close for IT that's all I'm looking for .
Interesting that it says it works with pressure cooker and SV .
Might have to try it on some SV finished sausage .
... Now I have to wait until we get some decent weather to see how it fits and then spin some yard bird.

I used to grill/smoke weekly during the winter months also, but as I've aged my bones don't respond to the cold as well as they used to. Currently it's 20* here with a dusting of snow on the ground. With the slightest breeze the wind chill cuts right thru me. That and I don't want any snot-icles hanging from my mustache. We'll get a few sunny clear days in the higher 30s w/o the wind, and I'll be ready to pounce.Wrong key ... again
I grill all winter long. Now before you bust my chops about being in Florida, I used to grill and smoke most of the winters in Minnesota. Zero °F was my line in the snow.
Rich what app did you use? I see a bunch of them when I looked at my phone,it is an androidI was surprised it did both . I just messed with mine a little bit this morning . As long as it's close for IT that's all I'm looking for .
