Just turned the big SEVEN - o yesterday. Since retiring about ten years ago, I often ask myself, how in the world I ever found time to work. My bride of 47 years and I have five children, thirteen grandchildren, live on a farm and each have several hobbies. I took up machining fairly recently (and love it). Some weeks, I'm able to spend 15 or 20 hours in the shop; others: zero. Depends on what's going on with family, farm and other commitments. Even now, there are a couple of projects that have been on hold for weeks because of other priorities. Farming, cattle and some other activities don't 'get in line' regardless of how much you'd prefer to be doing something else - especially when bad weather narrows the window even further. It's all fun, though.
Regards,
Terry
