Retired

I retired a while ago and now I understand why my Dad once said," I wish I could go back to work for a rest". I have far to many projects on the go including a few orphan Nortons that need finishing/restoration plus finishing the house renovations. I had a flooded basement just after New Years when my sump pump packed up and have to add completely gutting and renovating that to the list. On the bright side when a buddy calls up and says wanna head out on the lake for a days fishing I can just drop the tools and go.

OK I have been fully retired for the past six weeks, **** am I bored. Please some of you old farts talk me out of going back to work. I have been searching the part time employment sites for something two to three days a week. Currently everything I own is up to date on maintenance and shined to the point you can't look at it in bright sun light..............

Paul you cheap bastard why did you not have a back up pump?
 
It gets better all the time as I sit here typing this sipping on my third cup of coffee without a plan in this world today. I am slowly learning how to relax, and I like it. Ok, I admit I have taken on part time job two or three days a week, depending on order volume. It is a family owned business supplying tobacco products to convenience stores. I pull orders, put away stock, and unload trucks. After my first day, I was offered full time employment with more pay to make delivery's, I couldn't say no quick enough. Not to say anything bad about our younger generation, but their attitudes toward employment seems to differ greatly from folks a little longer in the tooth. The owner tells me he has been through numerous millennials in the past couple of years, where they just don't show up to work or can't take the "STRESS' of a hectic day. When I started looking for something part time there were quite a few opportunities for us grey haired "Old Farts", we are in demand. For anyone thinking of pulling the pin shortly, I would highly recommend the lifestyle, but give yourself a little adjustment period...........
 
Now your on track. Let me gety third cup in and I'll think about getting ready to work on the bike. Cold here in Norfolk and only supposed to be in the mid 50's :(
