:welcome: Howdy RetFed. Wifey's been working for the Fed for over 38 yrs, she will retire in the next few yrs.
I've been for about 3 yrs now (non-Fed). Guess then the honeymoon'll be over!

Thanks kw. We have two Fed kids living in Alexandria. Work has often taken us to DC but now we just go to visit them. Wife retired 6 months ahead of me.

Welcome Retfed. Assuming by the name you worked for the government. Recently retired myself. Enjoying every minute of it. If you got the owners manual is a plus. Owning the service manual is a must have if you plan on doing repairs yourself. Welcome to TractorByNet from middle Tennessee. -robert

That explains why you've kept so busy, lol. :laughing:

Yep, unfortunately, we live in the land of Fed.

Happy retirement!

Most of us don't really "retire", we just do different work and don't get paid.

When I first retired I missed the routine and the pay check. Went back to my old side business of home improvements. Work was slow, more repeat customers for small jobs. Wasn't worth the insurance and tax probs. I've always liked and worked on old classic VWs, and I love to build trikes. Now I tinker on my 2 and maintain and repair lots of my friends. Occasionally someone wants me to build them 1 but nowadays it's a real hassle to register them legally thru DMV, so even that slowed down. I've now learned to slow down and take each day as it comes, not straying too far from the homestead.
I don't even miss the near non-existent income anymore(although I'm POSITIVE wifey would disagree!)
