It was nice reading your posts. I retired 1 year ago so I have 6 months left. 
Well, it was inevitable, I guess . . .

It was actually a pretty funny conversation if you were listening on my end when he first called me. He hemmed and hawed around a little bit, what are you doing to keep busy, how's your family doing, etc., and then all of a sudden a light went on over my skull and I said "Oh, you need an investigator, don't you?" Pregnant pause, and then we got to business . . .

I retired from the Army in '95, and my wife asked me what I was going to do. I told her I was going fishing. Then she asked what I was going to do when I got back. I told her it would be hunting season. She told me I misunderstood the situation.
Fast forward to 2010 when I was "offered a retirement package." I asked my wife what she wanted me to do. She told me I could really retire this time.
Two weeks later I went back to work. Almost 7 years later I still put on the uniform, badge, and gun(s), and go to work. They screwed up 18 months ago and put me in charge of my office. My captain's bars are older than most of my officers.
If I get tired of this, I'll keep my PI license and work when I want.

Don't know anything about it. Do you have the same powers as a police officer? Or are you a private investigator with much more power?
OP
The same ^ ^ ^
Best of luck with this.

I tried being retired once. After a year I went back to work sort of part time which made momma happy. She says that retirement meant "twice as much husband at half the income."
How right you are! I tell people that for 30 years, I had the best job in the world: I got paid to make noise, squirt water, and break things!
It had to be very gratifying to have him call you and offer you a job...congratulations! Good luck to you...

Good luck sir. I retired in 2012 but I would kind of like to find something part time now that the kids are all gone. Maybe I will but for now I think I'll do some shooting tomorrow.

As a long-time retiree, all I could think of when I read your post was the immortal wisdom of the ancient philosopher, Maynard G. Krebs: "WORK!!??"

That's good news. Good luck, have fun and stay safe 
Work is a four-letter-word, but it's not a bad thing if you like what you're doing.
Enjoy yourself.
