Every time I retire (twice) I get so busy I just go back to work.
I think I need some lessons from you!!
My dad and my neighbor (1st cousin) both retired this year. One from logging, and one from being a supervisor in my company.
Both work twice as much now as they did when they worked. Lol. They both took 6 months or so and only fed and did their chores and such. But eased back into to helping family members in their own careers. Everything from flagging for one cousins road crew to my dad driving a truck for another cousins excavating. And either one can be found at my shop watching us work on cars pretty often. I think it's a "getting out of the house" thing.
Excellent, not only good taste in bikes, but in a wife as well.
My collection was only ever as large as five, now down to two. A Kaw W650 for the road, and a small Yamaha XT225 for on/off road riding.
To keep this gun related, I've learned through a bad experience not to carry when riding.
I learned from experience how to carry. Or at least how not to. I layed down an R1 after hitting a rock in the road busted a rim. Had a Beretta in a shoulder holster. Gun and holster were fine (Galco jackass I think but could have been a Gould and Goodrich) but I broke several ribs on the gun.
I think it's great to have more than one hobby/ passion. When one gets old you can jump ship. Keep your stuff and you can always pick back up. Ive bounced from car restoration and building to bikes to guns to billiards to reloading to building chain saws and back many times.
Other than the chain saws and selling a little wood none were cheap. Lol.
