I waited all my life to do the stuff i never had time for. Now I can do it. I have a thousand hobbies some of which I can make money at. I agree that if you just retire and sit around you will quickly deteriorate. My health is about the same as it was 20 years ago. We are rehabbing our house for sale right now. I am personally painting every wall in the house. It keeps you in shape.
I’m not much of a hobby person. I prefer projects. My boat keeps me pretty busy. I’m leaving Friday to stay til Tuesday to move the waste tank. Small job but requires time. Next will be doing the wood on the hand and bump rails. I just had a She Shed put in that needs finished inside because my granddaughter wants to kove into it. Insulation and beadboard for walls, carpeting, etc. I told her she has to help with the project. I like to stay on my boat for sometimes a week at a time and am always working on it. I travel. I just got back from a week visiting family in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Have a trip to Scotland planned for September. And I’ve been kind of busy getting the new biz started. I’m doing all this while hubby is laying in his recliner sleeping. I gave up on getting him to ‘move’ years ago and just go it all alone. I’ll quit when I’m either dead or my brain doesn’t work anymore.
