Default Great Retirement Gift

I got a good gift today from a coworker, a new McMaster-Carr catalog
#115 in the box. Profusive thanks were offered.

Thanks, Don. Looking forward to it. I told the guys I'd be at the
local bar Fat Tuesday evening for a few. Even invited the
supervisors, who I've known for years and live within four doors of,
one to either side. But I warned them that if they start giving
speeches, I'm heading straight for the door. Last full day will be
Ash Wednesday, hand in the keys, etc. on Thursday, and that's it.

My BIL is already requesting my input on an apparatus for a friend of
his in Oz, I just completed a custom cleaning rod (30" long .375 SS
with ball bearing aluminum handle) for the 450 Marlin, I'm going to
join the local sportsman's club (shooting range) on Mar 3, because the
pig hunt is coming up mid march.

Looks like I'm going to be very busy having fun.
