    Retired

    Yes, Kieth is right. If I thought I was busy before retiring . . . now it is like having too many jobs. Everyone is sure you are looking for something to do and has a little project or something to fix for them.

    I'd just like to get a chance to use my lathe, mill, and welder more on projects I want to work on.

    After a year and some months I finally got to welding some aluminum, and it worked well. The Longevity LS200-P is a good machine, serves my needs well. Now where did I put that "extra" time I was waiting to use?

    Yeah. Retirement. - Ain't it grand!!
    Actually it is. I'm as busy as I ever was, and no - people don't take advantage of the fact I'm retired. I just seem to be able to keep myself busy all on my own - sometimes too busy.
    The difference is, I'm the one cracking the whip, not someone else - silly to complain about that I guess!!

    Cheers,

    I'm really looking forward to it. I have lots of projects lined up and the fish are just out there waiting for me. Also, I can do two a day training runs and hopefully bring home even more medals.

    Darnit, the ease and price make me want to build one myself now.

    I'm quickly running out of space in my garage though for "big" tools.
