I hope you retire when you're still young and healthy enough to enjoy it. I do understand, though, that you really enjoy what you do for a living. I've been there. I *really* enjoyed the work I did in California. When I moved to Virginia though, I no longer did any system administration, networking or programming, instead going after higher pay and work that was droll and garnered little respect from others (cyber security. Everybody hates security people. They're like auditors.) By the time I could retire, I was VERY happy to do so. I know I posted here years ahead of time when I'd be leaving. It was at the first opportunity... give or take about four months because nobody wants to move to New Hampshire in the winter.

If I'd stayed in California, I might not be retired today. Programming is enjoyable. But, guess what? Now I can get back to programming... and for my own benefit, not someone else's. It's the best of all worlds.

So, you enjoy your job. I'm not surprised that you haven't retired. But try not to work yourself to death, okay? There *IS* life after work. Or, at least, there ought to be.

I can tell you that it is WET here, really wet and going to continue.

The Ohio River is up around 50 plus feet, which is flood stage so people living next to it are now being flooded.

Three days of rain in a row with no end in sight here. BUT at least it is not WHITE like where Nemo is.....

There remains some benefit to living near the Mason Dixon line but acually not being a a Reb...... (for Ribit's benefit)

Them Rebs down south don't get much snow either.

De just enjoys playing with electronics. I get that. I used toenjoy building computer systems and doing networking for different individuals and companies.

I don't enjoy it anymore. I just work on my own stuff when I need to but that's about it.

De is having fun and I hope he continues to do so! That is what he should do as he retired....

One day I'll do that as well but not for awhile yet....
