A man's day ends with the setting sun, a woman's work is never done!

Women always have The Home but when men retire they often don't even have a hobby. They get bored without the daily grind of going to work and coming home again.  Grin They need to get a hobby of some sort .... before they retire.


The problem is when you have too many hobbies.

I love building and home maintenance, when the crona shite finishes, Ill be helping my son do up his house.
My daughter does comicon, and I build weapons for her.
Im a member of a rescue organisation, but I have to watch myself in case I start doing too many hours and it becomes a chore.
There is my golf, I just wish I could get better at it.
My swimming, to keep fit
My fishing, gotta do that, its relaxing
My kayaking, sometimes mixed with fishing.
Im doing up an old car, that's fun
I help out neighbors.

Dont know where I'm gonna find any more time for hobbies.

This is one of my favorite comicon weapons I built, took a while.


outstanding work valkie.

one must maintain a reason to "get out of bed in the morning"
you have many

Retiring is a odd word.
I prefer to use a different terminology.
But can’t think of one.

Something like “out of the 5 day week rat race and free to stay up all hours of the night and sleep in, eat at times I want, and stay in pyjamas all day if I want to” life altering freedom change. Not looking at the clock constantly frees up the mind too.

And why not? Ya all earned it. Don’t feel guilty about it.

I think in new spare time one gains is good to have projects, hobbies, and even do new studies or online courses etc

Just stopping work and wondering what to do and feeling aimlessly lost is to be avoided.

Life is short, and having some unencumbered time to yourself is the best life gift you can give yourself as an end product after all those working years.

Sure people feel a bit strange stepping out from the norm of a work routine after many years, but you do adjust, and then that becomes the new norm.


I'm not letting my husband retire. We have a lot of mortgages to sort out.

Plus I don't want him around me 24/7.



But.....but.....but.........but....you said, in the last couple of days, you work for him in his business!

Its called a Sky-hook from the game Bioshock, I'm told.

My daughter gives me a screen dump and I make it like the one in the picture.

My other favorite is my Hell Boy Samaritan, its all wood and opens to place colored bullets.

Its twice the size of the largest gun I have ever seen.

Well, it seems
(I am not offering legal advice on this)
at least that one is legal to manufacture and have in Queensland but you are treading in dangerous waters.
