Retirement: What's your number?

That's what I expect I will do with myself minus the music since I have no musical talent at all. Volunteer and advise. Hopefully that will be enough to keep me busy.

 

You want to have sex with his painting?

 

If there's not a hole in it when I get it, there will be when I'm done with it.

 

No nudes. Tanks okay.

 

I'm going to build a kitchen table out of walnut.

 

I don't know if I'll ever fully retire. I'm about to build a 10,000 sq ft warehouse to rent out, so we'll see how that goes. If it goes well, I'll build a few more.

I have no debt other than my house, which I'm trying to pay off by 2018.

The way Nashville is booming, I haven't really stopped to think about anything other than getting caught up, which isn't a bad thing.

 

Screw that, make me a duck call.

 

I don't have a lathe or a press or I would.

 

You can make good money building those farm tables.

 

My Father-in-Law makes farm tables. Most people around here aren't willing to pay for them though. They like the look but for some reason think $300 is a fair price. He's so tired of dealing with people he only makes them on request at this point.

 

People think $300 for a hand-made one off table is "fair"? HAHAHAHAHAHahahahaha

 

You want to build a 20,000 sq. foot one for me in 2018?

 

In Tennessee?

 

My dad was the same way. Hated not doing "productive" stuff on his days off, so he picked up beekeeping as a hobby. If you only keep a small number of hives they're a pretty flexible hobby too, you can pour hours and hours of work into it or just spend a couple hours a week on 'em. And if you like honey then its hard to beat having local honey.

 

kept bees for a few years, and it was an interesting hobby, but required a bit of work. Loved the fresh honey, but lost all colonies to mites.

 

Go for that position, avocation, or wild idea you thought about but did not pursue because it did not pay well enough. Will not matter then. How do I know there is such a thing? Just cannot imagine you not having one. Pardon my presumptuousness if I am wrong.

 

Southern Indiana

 

I have noticed more and more people getting into this. It's very intriguing.

 

Lived in Terra Haute at one time for a short time.

 

It is much easier to do now with hives you can drain the honey without disturbing the bees. The critters are amazing in their ways of delegating work, and just overall society.
