My dad retired at 72. Immediately started working on a handicap accessibility
project for the Rod & Gun club. They got a grant from the state. Got that done
and immediately they got a federal grant for an indoor airgun range which he's
been working on for I think 2 years. He says this is the last one, if he'd
billed them for his work it'd be more than the building would cost. The amount
of hoops they've had to jump through is astounding...
My mother on the other hand sits home and knits socks. I'm a little worried
about her.

I retired in May 2016 but have continued to work part time since then.
Will take a break this summer and fall. My Father retired at 70 and then
worked part time until he was 85.
Got a new book from Amazon this week-might explain some things.
