Re: What do you do?
What do I do? Well, I guess whatever the wife wants. I've been retired from my primary job for almost 24 years now and have
been involved in several projects but am trying to slow down now. I'm getting old and tired.

Re: What do you do?
Iβm just short of 67, retired and loving life. Live rural so thereβs always lots of projects nearby to keep me busy. Have an RV and boat so we camp and fish and when the grandkids visit from CA we take them tubing. No longer hunt big game but still enjoy some light grouse hunting. Not shooting as much as I used to but when I do I reload ammo. Used to do a lot of buying, selling and trading of guns but that has become expensive with all our new state laws. Thankfully I have several to choose from.

Re: What do you do?
I have been retired/disabilied for the past 15 years. I have bad COPD and problems with my heart putting me on 100% VA disability. I don't get out to do much shooting now days but do still play music in a band a few times a mounth. I do have to play sitting down now though. I am planning on making it a good long time to come. I'm only 73 now. planing on making it into my 80's.

Re: What do you do?
69 and retired. I retired at 62.
I'm very much enjoying being my own boss. Besides the usual household chores and maintenance, I just adlib and do whatever my heart desires. In the Spring and Summer, we spend most of our time at our mountain cottage. I love exploring on my 4wheeler as I no longer use it for bear hunting. The only shooting I do anymore is up there. I do however go on occasion to the local indoor range down here to shoot my 9mm EDC.

Re: What do you do?
74 and been retired since 2012. Still ride motorcycles with my buddies. Most rides are to a place for lunch then to the Amish market for ice cream. Iβve been shooting competitively since the early β80s and have no plans to stop. I shoot matches at least once 2 times a month. Since these are action pistol matches I canβt keep up with the youngsters anymore, but I still have fun. I also try to get to the range at least once a week (weather permitting).

I'm part of the retired herd. Retired from the AF Reserves in the late 90s, and from the USPS 2 1/2 years ago.

Re: What do you do?
Also Retired - Marines in 1990 and LE in 2012 after a couple surgeries. Miss T and I hang mostly on the Hobby Farm. She has her livestock and She Shed where she sews, quilts and the like. I reload, shoot a bit with health and the weather allows. Woodworking, leatherwork, and knifemaking fill the rest of the time. If I'm not up to those things I read or watch movies from our DVD/Blue Ray collection.
Miss T and I tie flies, fly fish, and fish from the kayaks, but haven't done much of that since moving from VA to OK since we don't know the area (yet) as health and weather have kept us from learning it so far. We still plan to do so. Don't plan to give it up as we always loved the time spent fishing in the lakes, ponds, rivers, and salt water in VA.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
