Default Retiring (again)

Since I have a minute I thought I would mention that I will be retiring from the automotive industry (this time I mean it).

Nissan has informed me that my contract will not be renewed effective 5/1/2025. My last day will be 4/30/2025. I was already planning to be done 8/29/2025 so this just pulls it ahead a bit.

If my “pre-retirement practice days” (aka “vacation days”) are any indication it appears my time will be spent napping, eating and ignoring lingering projects in the house and garage. I really should be putting the Chevelle back together after a big build winter and I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel that needs finishing up. After that we'll see. My wife claims she can support me in the manner to which I have become accustomed but I don't think she really knows how expensive car parts are.

Final tally is 39 years 7 months at GM and a couple days shy of 6 years at Nissan, for those keeping score. This will be my longest break since the summer between my junior and senior years of high school.

Congratulations! I hope you have more luck "retiring" than some of us other retirees. The often time comment heard that people are more busy now than they were when they were working is a very true statement. Unfortunately, I am not busy at home but still in the shop.
