Retired

Today was my last day at GE Aerospace. After 38 years I have finally reached the day of my retirement. It's been a great job and I kind of hate to leave, but I've got other things to do now. Hopefully someday I'll get my shop finished and get to work in it.

Great. Congratulations. I retired in 2019 & as busy as I am today, I don't know where I found the time to go to work. Enjoy.....Joe

Congrats Freddy. The company I work for does a lot of business with GE Aerospace (and others).


My retirement is coming up a year from this October :) - If not sooner

Congratulations, Freddie !! You may feel a little lost for a short time, but as you said, you'll start doing all the other things you have been putting off and in no time be like the rest of us and wonder how you had time to work a job.. ..:cool2:
If you want a hand with the shop for a few days, just say so and I will come down and do what I can to help get it in working condition.

Congrats Freddie. Missed seeing you and that Camaro at the Supercar Reunion this year.

cheveslakr 08-01-2025 03:27 AM

Congrats Freddie Gear Head! I feel you've earned that in spades. I retired in '19 also, and it was a slight adjustment, but I fell right into it. Seems the days are still full, just a lot more custom tailored to MY needs.

dykstra 08-01-2025 12:20 PM

Congrats Freddie! I have a 14-year-old daughter and a wife with expensive taste so I will be retiring when I'm 107.LOL:naughty:

Congrats, I left work at 51, best thing I ever did.

SS427 08-01-2025 02:01 PM

Congratulations Eddie! I retired over 2 years ago and am still working 6 days a week in the shop. Hopefully you have plans that will keep you busy and enjoy your retirement like the rest of us.

enio45 08-01-2025 02:47 PM

Freddie, congrats on the retirement! Enjoy every minute of it and you will wonder how you ever had time to work with all the things that will now keep you busy!

Jonesy 08-01-2025 04:34 PM

Congrats to you Freddie. You earned it so now enjoy it!! :beers:

Thank you all. Yes, I have plenty to do. First I have to get the shop finished and get all of my stuff moved into it. That's probably 6 months away. Then I have to build my '55 Chevy (pictures below). Dad bought this car and then took it apart. He decided that he wasn't going to be able to put it back together, so he gave it to me. I've got a few people who are wanting me to build rear ends for them. I've also got some who want engines and transmissions built. Then there is machine work and welding that someone always wants. My son is setting up a CNC shop for a local business, so there might be an opportunity for some part time work there. A friend has an engine shop with all of the machines (except a crank grinder) and he mentioned that he might like to have me help him sometimes. So plenty to do!

And there you go.... you're already overbooked...:haha:

Enjoy the time.

Burd 08-02-2025 03:58 PM
