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.

Congrats! I am on my 2nd retirement too. 38 years in IT, forced retirement. Then they called me back for another 2+ years. Jan 2025 was it for me

You can forget about napping, I am way more busy now then I was.
