I "retired" twice. The first time I dropped all of my management responsibility( I was VP of a 180 man shop), went to part time, and did my first love--designing and building special machines. Absolutely loved it, and it was good way to "taper off" for a few years. Finally retired 5 years ago to my little farm and the old machinery. Now I don't have to cut wood on Saturday or Sunday, I can wait until its a nice day. I am on four county boards, trustee at our Elks, and help my neighbors whenever I can. And I occasionally do a little consulting, plus some work at church. My wife and I do have one vice now that we're both retired. We both read a major newspaper every day, comics, crosswords, and all. You must do something every day just because you want to. It's good for the soul.
Now I'm facing something new for me--major surgery on my shoulder that will keep me from working most of the winter. Just not sure how I'll handle not cutting firewood or heating with wood or building furniture or plowing snow. Life moves on, so I guess I'll find out.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
