I was a District Sales Manager for a welding distributor for 29 years . Will spend time with grandkids more and go fishing anytime ( I hope ) and get the Barracuda out more. Thank youCongrats on your retirement, Del! What to do? I reckon is a matter of setting priourities. What do you enjoy doing? Will it work with your budget now that you are retired? Will it leave time for self and for family?
Not to worry. Just keep your wife in the decision making process and all should work out well.
Best regards,
Harry
You will never run out of things to do. (you might run out of energy or drive but) All those things you put on the back burner because you didn't have time to do, well you have time now. I find it refreshing not to be in a rush. If I start a little project and don't get it done, I can always finish it tomorrow. Enjoy my friend.
Congratulations Del! Enjoy retirement..... you earned it!

Thank you.
Congrats!
My Old Man retired a few years ago after serving in the military for 28 years and working as a Mech Engineer for Lockheed Martin for 30 years. He was a busy guy and I thought he'd go crazy with so much time on his hands.
His famous saying now when asked what he does all day? "I drink my coffee in the morning, and my whiskey in the evening. Whatever happens between those 2 events is a blessing".
Enjoy your retirement!

Congrats! ...and welcome to the club.
I'm doing less and less car stuff... We purchased a condo in Florida a few years back since 2 of our kids live there, and most of our family.
Also, We've been traveling quite a bit. Just before retiring we purchased a villa in Italy. We use it as home base while we explore Europe.

Congratulations Del! I'm been running my *** off since I met you two years ago, I don't know if retirement will exist in the thirty years I have left to go, sure hope so! Now go take the Barracuda down to the lake to catch some dinner!

Thank you. I'm gonna slow down a little and put bells on my poles to wake me up when I have a bite
I never run out of things to do, just $ to do it with! But at age 70 I refuse to start another career!
Wife said, " why don't you buy that cheap project ac, fix it and sell it at a profit?"..
I said " I refuse to work for 5 cents per hour!!

My wife and I are both new retirees . I retired in November and my wife retired the last day of May.
Been busy with stuff around the house that you never seem to have the time to do on week ends. The best thing is you don't have the time restraints. You can take a break when you want.
Now maybe I'll have time to work on my car too. Here's hoping.
Congrats to you!

I retire in Sept. Just got a motor home It's just me no wife so I gotta do something.
heading for the mountains all over this country and getting a metal detector and a gold pan. Strapping a dirt bike on the back of the motor home and go looking for rocks and a good view.
