    Congratulations, YooperDave! Im sure its well deserved. You'll work harder than ever in retirement, but it will all be dictated by your schedule and whether you want to do it or not. Your road trip idea sounds like a good one, door's open if you make it my way!

    I plan on staying busy and accomplishing something everyday.

    I have seen the trap many retirees fall into.....

    that is part of the reason i had a garage/workshop built last year and am buying wood working tools to self teach and use there....heated by my NC-30, none-the-less!!

    Therein lies part of the problem. Soon you'll have so many irons in the fire you won't have the time needed to complete them as you want. Then you'll just get started and along comes the, "Honey, can you do..."
