[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 252578, member: 704"] Congrats on retirement db-2. For those that think they will get bored your in for a surprise. I can't find time to do all the things I want to. People that aren't retired think I have so much time. There is about six or seven different groups like church for example that think you should volunteer half your life for them. It would take six people to fill all the volunteer requests. With knees so bad you can't walk they still want you to do all kinds of things for them. One ironic thing that has happened to us is we purchased a 37ft 5th wheel to spend time down south. Then a few years ago we bought a small 21ft travel trailer to go to Alaska. The oldest son was very sick for two years before he passed away so that never happened, but that little camper is so handy we use it more than the large one. It's been down to Utah, Nevada, Idaho and a half dozen other states. I'm looking forward to two new knees in two weeks. In my dreams I'm hiking the badlands again. In my dreams I'm carrying a 50lb backpack again. The next toy on the list is a drone with a quality camera. Then it's hook up that small camper and photograph all the waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge. Wolf hunt Montana next fall if the knees work. This is year 12 into retirement. [/QUOTE]
