I'm surprised you can remember when you actually retired. Wait- I thought you never go to the hub other than to visit the shop. Hard to keep up with your stories...

I'm thinking there are quite a few still working that spend all day here. Same ones that bitch about working too many hours.When someone ask me how retirement is I tell them guys that retire spend all day every day on Browncafe talking about UPS stuff so you might as well keep working.

We are empty nesters now. Both of our daughters are out of college and working in their fields,
one with her Masters and one with her Doctorate. They both got married in the last two years and we love their husbands.
One great part about being retired is having the time now to give back to our own parents. My wife’s mother is having some memory issues so we spend a lot of time taking care of her. She is able to still live on her own, but needs help. My parents are 93 and 90 yrs old. We built a house near them on our family farm and I check on them almost every day. They have always been there for me, and I am glad to have the time to give back.
I also golf about 3 times a week when the weather allows. I am in two golf leagues and have a group of other retirees that travel to the fun courses in our state. I have my handicap below 10 now and am looking forward to the senior tees in another year to take all the money. Lol
Oh yeah... poker..live and online
First grandchild ..a boy due in January!!
Just focusing on staying healthy, because we are really enjoying this point in our lives

I'm going to do another year, not sure if I'm going to go beyond that yet or not.
Lots of things to think about

I don't feel guilty at all.It was a joke. Hope you don’t feel guilty
I actually don't spend that much time on here and when I do it's usually at night when its either play on the internet or watch tv.

Typical day? Get up whenever I want. Do coffee, read the paper (yes, the PAPER kind), eat sumthin, get on here and catch up with a bunch of sites, go sit, shower, go out in one of the garages (where there's music, office, chairs, BOOZE), run errands if need be (but NEVER go visit UPS. Ain't even driven past the building in 12 years), do supper, watch "Jeopardy", then movies that we DVRd, then bed and repeat cycle.
I don't get bored easily. Have had two hip, one knee replaced, one ankle with plates, 20 screws/pins and long recoup period for all those. Loved not doing anything but therapy.
Have a few cars we show and drive, a Harley Trike we ride, build model cars (No, I haven't quite grown up, either).
No, getting another job has never been in my future. I retired for a reason....I DIDN'T WANT TO WORK ANYMORE.
Don't financially need it, don't want it, won't do it. I'm comfortable.
For those that are still working and fretting about retire...you're eating yourselves up. For those that HAVE retired and are bored out of your skull, get a hobby, or sumthin that you love doing...volunteering...ANYTHING but don't cry that you shouldn't have retired. ENJOY your life. It's too short.
There. 'm done

Well, I retired 5 years ago come this April. I have no typical days anymore. I had 32 years of typical days. Now I do what the hell I want to every single day. I despise planning anything besides the 2 to 3 rounds of golf I play weekly. I set no alarm clock. I schedule everything at a time that doesn't require an alarm. If I wake up at 4am, I wake up at 4. If I wake up at 10am, I do. I have a general idea what I'm going to do on a given day, but I don't hold myself to any set plan. It's the most stress free I've been in my entire life, and I love it. I just laugh at anyone who says they'd be bored. There's so much more to life than work...oh so much more.
