If you consider wearing a uniform for 6-8 wks a year being a working stiff, I guess I qualify. I just fly around in a c-130 because I enjoy it. I'll be retiring from that as well in about 6 months. Then I suppose I will find another part time gig as I can't fish or hunt every day. I tried that already and made it 18 days straight for fishing then I couldn't even FORCE myself to pick up a fishing rod. I made it 25 days straight for hunting, but even then I had to rotate from bow hunting, to duck/goose hunting, to pheasant hunting, and back again. After that, I didn't want to pick up a gun or bow after that for a couple days. For those that think they can hunt or fish every day, you're a better man than me, as I've tried it and failed. Besides, having a job is a good thing. I can always find some sporting goods I can spend the cash on. (Grin)
