+Belfrypotters Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 After enjoying so many cointests and missions I thought it was time to give one back. On August 31 I will be retiring from my job, after 35 years of my alarm clock going off at 5:00 am. The silence on that first morning will be a symbol of my freedom, so I am giving away a beautiful Symbology coin to celebrate. That day actually comes before the end of August, because I have some vacation time coming, so the coin goes to the first person to guess how many more mornings I will wake up to the sound of my alarm clock. Bonus: I’ll also include a cute little Canada Micro Puck coin if you correctly guess what I’ll be doing with most of my spare time after retirement. Cointest closes today at 2:30 pm Edmonton time, and the coin will be awarded to the closest guess if no one guesses correctly before then. Link to comment

+Belfrypotters Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Congrats LadyBee!!!! Congrats Belfrypotters too! wow Last day at work!!! Are you having a party??? Thank you for the cointest!!! Thanks! Yes, several parties, since I work with a lot of different groups of people. Lunch yesterday, lunch today, breakfast tomorrow, coffee party tomorrow, and dinner tomorrow. Once they started feeding me and giving me presents I started to feel like this is really happening. I've already gained three pounds this week . And I will be spending more time with Mr BP, since he also makes pottery, and likes to do all those other things LadyBee4T mentioned. Link to comment

+Eartha Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Congratulations on your retirement, and enjoy everything life has to offer you now! I hope you set aside enough retirement funds to upgrade your GPS now and then over the next 30-40 years or more! I'll be closing this cointest later in the day, since it is over and the winner has replied, but I think more people would like to wish you well first. It's not every day someone gets to retire and have all that free time for caching and pottery making. Link to comment
+Need More Cowbell Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 ongrats and i think you have 35 days left and will be spending most of them on the golf course. Link to comment
+Belfrypotters Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks for all the good wishes. I gave up golf because I'm really lousy at it (a nice walk spoiled by a little white ball), so instead I'm going to find all those puzzle caches that I solved but never had time to find. Eartha, thanks, I think you can close this now. Link to comment
+Eartha Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Closed now, at the OP's request. Thank you for playing. Link to comment
