Remember Thomas you retired for a reason. No one ever lays on their deathbed and says "Dam I wish I worked more"!
I think it's time you relax. This of course not knowing your financial status.

Mrs. made it perfectly clear income not needed and would rather have me spend more time doing rehab with cub bears etc....maybe I just retire to early.

In the end it boils down to doing what you enjoy. Can you un-retire?

Should You Pay Back Your Social Security Benefits and Start Over?

You can pay back Social Security benefits within 12 months of filing and start over later. Here are a few situations where it might make sense.

Hopefully PJ is just working hard at the new job and doesn’t have time to post. He mainly posted from work previously.

Yesterday the song “free electric band” popped into my head, so I found it on YouTube. A one hit wonder from the 70s. Course music made me wonder about PJ.

40° and very foggy. Very eerie looking. Glad I’m home.
Didn’t do much today except run that defrost cycle on the fridge. Had some water under the drawers, so must have melted some. I should pull out fridge to see the drain line to see if it is draining while In defrost mode.
Wife making white chili that smells fantastic.

And was fantastic.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 10C and it's presently 24C, clear sky and calm.

Property mowed yesterday and today's tasks are to pick up 3kg of trimmed pork shoulder for Sunday's pulled pork from the 'Providore'. Also I pick up the trailerable port-a-loo from the Council Depot, set it up and fill it with water.

General 'sprucing' up of portable tables & such that haven't been used since last year's soiree.

That's about it, take care all.

Good Morning.
It’s 35 with a high of 40 in the rain today. Hasn’t started yet, but will rain all day and overnight.

Yesterday, had a vice breakfast where we discussed what our kids will do with our “stuff” once it becomes their stuff, and the state of the union. That part was interesting, as Rich retired as a constitutional history professor after an earlier career as a partner in a Manhattan law firm.

Then it was back to work on the TV and internet project which is just about complete. Here’s the wall plate for the HDMI and optical connections.

Also glued up this shelf for the center channel speaker that used to sit on top of the old monster TV.

I’ll make or buy some hidden brackets for it today and get it installed.

Overall, I’m pleased with the speed of the internet, this is on my iPad two floors above the WI-FI router, without the mesh extenders that Verizon hasn’t sent yet.

I did manage to get to the Bridgeport and make some chips as well as the part that I lost for my sight pusher.

Zoe sleeps in the kitchen, I put a camera there so that we can see what she is up to. Keep in mind that she is only 12 weeks old, and the camera is on the kitchen counter.

Today I’ll continue yesterdays projects starting with getting the shelf installed. I’ll have to get a couple of briskets ready to go into the smoker this evening for tomorrow’s dinner, one will go to the restaurant though, as it’s not much more work or time to make two than one.

Gotta watch you don’t melt things with those speeds
