[T3] Movin' On....

[Robert Rogers]

Jim, I had the same thought about what to do once retired.  I really thought my wife would kill me if I was around all day long.  However, I have discovered that there is plenty to do.  I hit the GYM every mid-morning and in the afternoon I spend my time in the shop.  I do have a project car that seems to take most of my time.  I hardly have time to mow the lawn, weed whack, and fix the things that seem to go wrong around the house.  I'm certainly not bored (I thought I would be).
