Since i retired i worked in Korea all expences paid and had a ball ( wel sort of )
Went back to nz , sold the house , packed everything and put all in storage and bought a ticket to China , spent a month looking round and got a job in the process . life is cool ( its winter here ) and differant !

What im saying is live a little and get off ya butt and go places you dreamed of doing do the things you always wanted , dont tread on toes but leave tracks of where ya been and make new friends a long the way !!

I will never retire. I built slower, and I shrink 2" but I keep pace.
I still start at 5am.
A lot of work outside and the winter was realy bad, but also nice work inside, with the wood stove at full speed. the forge also help to keep the man warm.
