    Wow, there is some real talent out there.

    I too have recently retired from the technical side of LE (7 months ago) and have pretty much finished up all the projects I didn't have time for while working full time. Then I recently completed a project I was working on for our Sheriff's Department for the last couple of months, so now it is time to find something else to do between camping/offroading trips.

    My wife is still 10 years from retiring so we still can't go for long trips or just anytime we want so in my newly acquired abundance of time I am starting to feel many of the things Tom mentioned, so I know I need to find something productive to do. Hopefully something that will keep me out of trouble AND feeling useful.

    Thank you all for some great inspiration and being a great group to hang out with here! Best of luck to all you new retirees and soon to be retirees. It is a great place to be!

    Tom, interesting story. Glad you're back. We just returned from a 4 week trip through Texas & New Mexico. At one of our stops I saw this sign: Retirement is when you stop living at work and begin working at living .

    Thanks everyone for the kind words and inspiration. I would love to see more of everyone's hobby stuff. Maybe we should start a thread on that so as to not derail poor Tom's thread any further. Sorry Tom.

    All the best,

    No apologies necessary. In addition to the King of Kluge, I'm also the Prince of Tangents.

    Or was that the Whore of Hi-Jacks??

    This thread has been a real inspiration to me as I move closer toward retirement. My concern in retirement is to have the health and funds to stay active in all my hobbies.
