Dennis,

I will surely post photos of the project in progress and the finished product. It does seem that there are a lot of us retired contractors here in the group. In technical fields (and certainly others), we have a big gap in experience levels now. Many of the engineering firms (big ones like KBR,Jacobs,Fluor and the like) are scrambling to fill project positions by bringing back retirees. This is because their projects are suffering big time due to the lack of experienced engineers. There are a lot of sharp young engineers out there who will one day be the cream of the crop but they have not seen time in the trenches. To me it was gratifying that my company was very worried about my departure. I am happy to continue to do my work until I get tired of it. (and the $$ is good!).
