I have retired 3 times. Once at 61, once at 63 and the last time I was 66 and I also closed my consulting business then as well. That was 12 years ago this last January,

All my life. Had a choice everyday to work or not. But I like to eat. Only will retire when i die. To me, retirement is exchanging one form of work for another. I love ADC. A rocking chair on a porch is not for me.

Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Did a 2” double-wide pork chop seared and finished in the oven with a pepper jelly/balsamic vinegar glaze. We thought it was very good.

Got a Pup from Lee 3 days before I retired and we have been having adventures since then.
