First 2 years of retirement went into fixing things around the house and property. Third year been riding the Harley a lot with the wife. Now have more free time and had to get another project car to tinker with in the garage, so went out and bought a front engine dragster. Never been happier in my life. Retirement is great. Also help the four kids with there projects. Always busy. Plan on traveling a little more next year if the Covid thing is over. More time to see friends at the car cruises in the evenings. Pretty much the same exact story. First couple years fixing "some day" projects around the house. Finally have my shop nearly completed. Finally am going to be able to work on projects I've been buying parts for almost 50 years. Trying to do more traveling, there are places in this great country I've never seen that I want to before I croak. If I could have afforded it I would have retired at 62 rather than 64.

Been retired for 30+ years. At the risk of roiling the mods, I have taken up ammo reloading since there's little/none to be had. A new learning experience.

Retired 3 years ago after 30 years. I keep real busy with the wife, kids, cars, houseboat, jet boat, and our mid century modern home. Never a dull moment since the day I left!

Oct 1st will mark the beginning of my 4th year of retirement. My official retirement date was 10/2018. I did another full year of just mornings (self employed, and had many customers I only saw a few times a year). The 1st year I finished building a 39 Dodge pickup hot rod and discovered I didn't fit in it very well. I pretty much quit working on other people's stuff 10/2019. At the beginning of 2020, I located a 49 Dodge pickup project, which I started in July, 2020, after the 39 sold. I plated the 49 in June 2021, its not done, but it is road worthy and will get body work and paint next year.
Then I started cleaning things up around the shop and the house. I've been running a welding shop out of my 2 car garage for 20 years. This winter, I intend to be able to park 2 cars in my two car garage. Its getting close, but time is running out.
Next year I will finish up the 49, then we intend to cruise either my 48 Plymouth coupe, or my 49 Dodge pickup. I would like to see what not having a time commitment looks like. I can tell you I won't be spending my time sitting in the lazy boy doing nothing. I feel that one chapter in my life is nearly complete. I don't know exactly what the next chapter looks like, but I'm looking forward to the change. Gene
