You're going to find out you don't have time to do everything anymore.

It's mainly because of al the other fun you having. Mow the lawn or go fishing??? Fishing... Then a couple days later someone will want to do something, and you'll be like :Ahhhh the lawn can wait"....

Enjoy it. You deserve it.

Do you have any grandkids to take fishing? It's a gateway activity and paves the way for hunting and trapping at some point.

What is "pillaring", removing/mining pillars as you are retreating/abandoning a stope? or maybe you can them a room in coal mining??

Pillaring is removing the Pillars you left untouched as you mine forward. When finishing a seam some mines want you to take the pillars of coal out as you retreat. It is very Dangerous and not worth it.


God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

I retired from mining ten years ago. But I still will go underground one more time. Hopefully not too soon.
