Hi all -

It's early in the morning and I'm wide awake. This is a special day for me - my last day on the job. I'm retiring!

As a farewell gift my company gave me a Bank of America gift certificate for $100.0 US that I can spend any way I want to.

"It's mine...all mine...do you hear....mine...heh..heh..heh".

I have pretty much all the tools I need and my stash is sufficient for say, 10 or 15 years. My question is: What would you do in this hobby with $100.00?

I would appreciate any suggestions, but would like to stress anything that would aid in cockpit building - one of my many weak areas. Special tools, books, materials - anything.

For the first time I can't think of anything I want - but I'm sure there's something out there I need- I just don't know what it is.

Steve And BTW...Merry Christmas to all!!!

Well let see here , what can I get for a 100 bucks ! Can always stock up on PE parts such as seat belts and instr/faces . Books are always handy to have for ref's . Work bench supplies , can never have enough of that stuff . Many options to go on this one . Maybe a new set of paint brushes ! I guess in the end what every you feel that you need .

Congrats on the retirement , now sit back and relax and enjoy life !

Steve,

Having Retired this year myself I would say there is no rush to get any thing right now, unless it is something you've been wait for the extra funds to buy. You'll find priorities change very quickly now that you are Retired. There really is no rush, you have plenty of time, shop around.

Thanks Terri - I used up all my personal time and took off early. I'm allready enjoying it.

Chuck - Probably the best advice you could possibly have given..and your right. I came home and started leafing through the Micro Mart catalog and the only thing I thought I'd like to have is a cordless paint stirrer. Aside from that, I might kinda look at what Terri suggested...new brushes and little stuff that you never seem to have enough of. But there's no hurry.

Steve

I'd donate it to a needy staff member.

Congratulations on retiring, and enjoy the gift.
Treat yourself to something you've been putting off on buying because of cost. An extra free 100 smackers brings it within reach now.

Pretty neat getting a gift retiring, where I work you normally get a little good by shin-dig thrown and payed for by your co workers, and a police escort off the property.
