To retire early if you can.

Took Mom and Dad to the beach today because they didn’t think they would ever be able to go again. We didn’t think he was going to make it through the month of November last year.

He is 90, she is 85.



My son just texted me and asked if I could pick up the grandson from daycare this week.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, a guy called and asked if I could stop by and punch in a couple fox sets at his place because one is raiding his chicken coops.

Great job taking your parents to the beach, make every memory you can while you can

I recommend making a living doing something you very much enjoy, if you can too. Retiring early enough to enjoy it makes great sense, if you can afford it. Most people put up with to much crap.

Old Cradle Robber looks happy!

Yeah, I went the wrong way with that. Lol

I agree with Keith C If you can make a living wage doing what you enjoy then it never really is "work". For myself, due to kidney failure nad all that goes with it, the amount of time I can phyiscally work is rather limited. I have always enjoyed making things, it's really what keeps me going . I decided with my remaining time to do the type of work that requires my absolute best effort. I will do restoration on antique guns with the main focus on English shotguns that are top of the line but have damascus barrels. I plan to repace those with fluid teel barrels and rifle the last couple inches to make the Paradox guns That H & H made back in the day. Also my bird carving , basically my strongest work so I can really get lost in it.
