Go ahead, rub it in.
I can understand how watching TV and drinking tea would wear a person out. Better slow down there 7mmag6....sounds like a tough day

7mmag6...it gets even better for a while...before boredom might possibly set in. Then you may feel the need to apply at Walmart as a greeter.:nod:
But...for me the solution was to volunteer a portion of my time each week as a volunteer carpenter with HFH and do other fun hobbies. I've never been sorry for that decision. :right:

Now your in the zone ! Play the lottery ! For some reason as soon as you retire or your rich , you get 6 matching numbers. Don't know the science behind it but I heard it happens.

Be careful, we buried a lot of retired Master Sergeants early on while I was on the Honor Guard.

Now give me 20!

For some reason, my teenage boys take great delight in telling cashiers that I qualify for a senior discount. They're usually wrong. Most places around here start giving it at 60, and I'm sneaking up on 57.

Shaun,
If you want some help with the fence, you might want to slow down a bit
