Agree 100%. Sitting around and doing nothing all day? No thanks.


Exactly! It took me six weeks to start a new business/company after I retired the 1st time. Doing nothing, heck even playing golf and fishing became a bore within that time. Thought I'd retire the 2nd time and play a few music gigs every month, can't wait to get back into that routine.

Later,


Same here. After I retired I went to part time work as a computer tech. After a couple of years I got tired of that and got a part time job that I really loved, teaching guitar and bass. I had done that on a limited basis since the late 1960's. Unfortunately that store went under so I went to a local teaching academy. That went under a year later. Now I have only one student, a nephew, as the others had to quit. I teach him via the Internet.

PS - I'm to active to get bored!

I think my wife has started to show the first signs of dementia.
She said she can't remember what she ever saw in me!

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
