Got my Medicare card, 1st SS check, and quit work (retired) 3 months ago. Work 2 weeks around home catching up all things I put off due available time while working then when body starts to shut down fire up the motorhome and hook up the boat for 2 weeks recouping at the lake. Busier now than when working full time but having a lot more fun doing it.

I'm 4 1/2 years into retirement. I don't have time for a full time job.

I put in five hours using the Brush Cutter inside and along a cedar hedge 500 feet long. And I must say, I feel pretty good about the job and myself............will let you all know in the morning. It was a relatively comfortable day in the low 80's, ....that made it go better. Not bad for one of the "older users" going on 84.
Cheers for the 2016 Fourth of July.

Thanks Oddballs, now I feel younger and hope to make 84.
Every day that you wake up is a great day!

Good to see you old farts having a good time.
Remember if you wake up in the morning & nothing hurts, you might be dead. :laughing:
I've been told that I'm older than dirt, but plan on another 100 years or so. So far it's working out.

Again I learned! !"never trust a fart"!!!!!

im just lazy. I let my wife pay for my lumber while i keep shopping so they will load the truck for her. If im there, no one ever helps

Same at rural king. If I go, and we buy bagged feed.. no one helps load or unload. if just the wife goes up to checkout, she gets loading assistance.

In the Florida heat and humidity, I bet.

All the heat and twice the humidity!

I'm with you on that Soundguy. I don't think I could survive without my sunshade anymore. When I was young I could load hay on a wagon behind the baler. Then get up in the barn loft and unload at the end of a hay elevator. It was hot as Hades but I drank lots of water. Now I do everything slower, take breaks, and don't fret if it doesn't get done. Only 56 but a bad hip and knee will do that to you. At 56 I am too old to be productive, too young to get senior citizens discounts, and still have to hit off the white tees. Pretty much useless.

Come on Turbys......Perk up Man..........after all........your town says that you've got "Balls".

If it wasn't for coming inside for breaks due to my age, I'd probably never post on TBN............right now I'm hot and sweaty , but heading back outside with the heat going to 96 deg F today.:thumbsdown:
