DJohns Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 My wife lets me get down to two honeydo's let then adds more honey. It is neverending. But it keeps me active.

I think your figuring out your DW is ready for retirement. Nothing wrong with that, in fact the extra togetherness is good for planing Maybe time to find a good civic club like Kiwanis or other organization that benefits Children.

Rotorhead Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 That’s awesome. Enjoy! I have 3.5 years to go. I am tapping out at 62. after that no more major to-do items on the list for me. We’ll pay for those some how. The aches and pains afterwards are getting to be too much. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Heiser Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 I retired in September of 2021 (kind of). I decided to start a “part time” business to give me something to do. Well the business took off much faster and with a lot more work than I expected that first year. Luckily my wife was still working full time until the end of last year so it wasn’t that big of a deal. I have started carving out longer travel periods this year now that my wife is retired. We are currently on a 5 plus week trip. But, between the business and our travels my honey do list (and my project list) is piling up with not a lot of time to get things done. I always heard people say they were never so busy as when they “retired.” Now I believe it. All the little stuff I used to do to kill time during the day when I was working doesn’t happen anymore. I just don’t have the time. 😜 Quote 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
