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 got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination , it tells me why I wanted to go there.

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