Gonna be a little different not having to answer to people, well except the wife. Make my own hours and Holidays.

Your twin here, almost. Retired at 60 1/2 years old in Sept. 2021 after 42 years in the auto industry, mostly as a tech until the last 4 years.
Body is a little worn out, have hoist at home, etc. It took me over a year to get my head wrapped around the fact that all my time was mine....I didn't have to get up to go somewhere for the first time since I was 4 years old. It is a strange feeling. Now I'm spending time on myself, working on my newest GTO, reading, hiking, gardening, and spending the time I didn't used to have shopping for great food and cooking great meals. I can't believe it's been almost 3 years. Enjoy yourself. You only have one future, make it yours, not somebody elses.
