I'm sorry to say, it doesn't work like that.
Your lifestyle totally changes, and other people will definitely encroach on what time you have available.
Can we do this, can we go there, is there any chance you could.............. never ending requests.
Big shop time becomes a thing of dreams.
But congrats on your retirement, just enjoy what you can of it.

This is something that you have spent your whole life working towards and have finally accomplished after all these years. At first it will feel different not getting up and going in to punch the clock but I think that you will be able to handle it. I am sure that you have family and friend around you that will help you not to get bored with nothing to do. If by chance you do get bored you can always go and build model engines. Happy retirement Paolo. :bow: :bow: :bow:
Cheers

Congratulations Paolo, I wish you a long lasting and healthy time ahead - enjoy every moment.
As a fairly newbie at the same game perhaps a couple of pointers if I may ..
To those who (will) feel you have all the time the world to work for them - just tell them you will willingly do so providing they can find someone to do your work at little or no cost while you help them - I have found this to be an ideal reply
and the thing to bear in mind most about retirement is that one does not have another whole lifetime in which to enjoy it - make the most of every day
Have a great time in your workshop
Regards - Ramon

You kids make me laugh. Retirement is easy.......after you get it figured out. My advice would be to do everything you ever wanted to do in as short a time as possible. After that, slow down, you will have figured out what you really want to do.
