Ya, my buddy has to have a hip replaced in a couple weeks, he turns 65 next november and for some reason thinks he needs to keep contracting till he can get on medicare. I've told him to quit, he's worth a couple million, can barely walk, can't stay away from the job, grab a shovel, rod a floor, pour a small chit job in the dyke trailer park... yes there are dyke only trailer parks... he's got it in his head he has to get to medicare.
I told him I'd do his foundations till then and the longest I'd go is the following april when I turned 65, then the wife and I are loading the 5th wheel and heading out each summer. I may work some during the winters but no more summers.
The only reason I still walk on the jobsite is cause I still can, like an old fighter that won't hang them up... I'd just get fat and old and wish I could instead of... 'I can'.
