Hi, JD! X3+ on not becoming a couch potato - its a fast way to a slow death, especially if you embrace "CAN'T" as the most used adjective in your vocabulary. Agree we don't tolerate pain or fools as well as we get older - and, yes, we all need a break, especially if handing off the business, and maybe ensuring the younger folks truly "Take Charge"? But, your retirement: 1) make sure you get your health checked out thoroughly, especially sleep apnea, its a killer for us older guys and gals. 2) Make a list of what you ALWAYS wanted to do, but haven't had time/money/energy to yet do. 3) Consider going to take some courses - - a course you always wanted to learn (mine is astronomy). 4) Build the new shop - -if you have it, its yours, no one else should be in it unless you WANT them there, and its there IF you do want to woodwork, old cars, old tractors, old men's club, etc.....If its not there, you won't, and that's a fast way to "I CAN'T", then get to azzsitticus disease... 5) How about volunteering at the JD "Pavilion" as a tour guide? You know the equipment, its sales, its usage, history. 6) Buy a decent but modest motor home, travel some, and see what looks good to do (see BREAK comment above). 7) Volunteer work? e.g., Cook catfish for local fire house, read books with pre-schoolers, drive van for special needs folks, mission trip to work on churches, etc??? 8) Go to Texas and help the Howells remove their wild pig problem (if so, pick me up on the way down!!!)
