Congratulations Donny. 
You'll soon wonder how you ever had time to go to work and to do those "Chicken shit" 15 hour round journeys.

Enjoy your retirement Donny. I've been enjoying mine for 15 years now and it gets better all of the time.
Get to grips with the Deusenburg full time now.

Donny, I wish you a long and very enjoyable retirement - sadly I have to put in a few more years before I am able to quite the day job, but I already have plenty of plans
Take it easy, and don't be shy of posting some vids of your lap steel playing to the forum.
