Retirement: It's a full time job

[Youngster]

It's been some time since I've posted. Retirement keeps me busy. I recently finished building my woodshop and now I'm in the middle of building a fence. Also been writing a lot. My website has close to 300 pages now.
I just had another birthday. I'm not really collecting them but try as I might, I end up with another one every year.
What are you all up to these days?

Like you, Youngster, being kept busy by retirement. Just returned from a few days away in the campervan and now we're preparing a bed in the garden for the leeks, parsley and celery. Never enough hours in the day.

My wife and I recently took our motorhome to Silver Falls State Park (Oregon) for a few days. It's a great place to hike along some good trails or if you're not into that, just relax.

Laundry, paying bills/balancing checkbooks, other housework, and daydreaming about moving outta here.

Where do you want to move to?

Where do you want to move to?

I want to move just a few miles away and closer to town to a home no smaller (maybe even larger) than what we're in now but on a nice managable-sized lot rather than all this acreage and to a place that's within walking distance of stores, etc. (I no longer drive and no buses out here; public transportation is considered c0mmunist around here.)

My home maintenance, lawn and garden are a 10 hr/week job. Then there is the remodeling. And in the winter, snow.

I know the feeling. I recently moved from a hillside home to a flat lot. It's a lot more manageable.

Snow I can do without. Although shoveling it is a good form of exercise.
