I retired last year at 61. Four years earlier than planned due to Etta’s dementia. She’s doing well but it’s a good thing I am around for her. The short term memory stuff is very hard for her.

I have had a sawmill as a small side business and run that fairly often and spend quite a bit of time in the winter gathering logs for it. It keeps me busy. I’m so busy this summer with roofing the house and other projects I don’t know how I got anything done when I was working. Wish I could get a few days just to go to the range.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
