I've been retired 8 1/2 years and it has yet to feel like a job. I was going to dye and wax some traps today but decided to do it another day.

I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Starts to look like a job when you break out the fillet knife

I'm too old to retire.

The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

not fully retired - semi retired enough I pretty much get to do what I want, when I want= very, very blessed.
but to answer the question, if it starts to feel like work, stop, grab a cold one, and take a break for a few minutes. That work feeling will go away!!

Thanks Hobbietrapper.
Have a friend who has been fully retired for 16 years told me that when I asked him if he ever thought about going back to work. lol. He has been killing ducks, geese, pheasants, quail and deer all over the country and fishing all over and in Canada for those 16 years. Tells me now he is just to busy to even think about work! He is 71 and going strong.

Tough job but someone's gotta do it.

Never! LOL Don't retire you will hated, that is what I tell the people that ask me.

The only regret I have is I didn't do it sooner and I could of.

Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Been retired now for 2 1/2 years, love it. When I wake up in the morning I decide what I want to do and when I want to do it.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Close...very close. I have a job working for the State of Wisconsin, working Mon.-Wed. with benefits. Allows me to pick antiques, play with the Grandson, sleep-in when I want, and when I am finally done with this hip replacement, lots of hunting, trapping, and fishing. Will stick with this till I can't anymore, then hang it all up.

My Dad always said about retirement..."Better too early than too late."
