Congratulations! I hope you have more luck "retiring" than some of us other retirees. The often time comment heard that people are more busy now than they were when they were working is a very true statement. Unfortunately, I am not busy at home but still in the shop.

Agreed. Sometimes I wonder how I found time to work!

Congrats on your second retirement. I "retired" from my trucking career in 2013 but had a part time job until 2 years ago.
When I got out of trucking, the first thing my wife said was "don't think you are going to blow all MY retirement funds on cars and part !!"...

R'uh r'oh.

It occurred to me the other day I've probably spent enough on cars and parts to have bought another house.

The rest I wasted.
