Mistakes
I often wonder why it is I can't see the mistakes I've made in a posting until 'after' I've posted it! I re-read them too! Several times in most cases, but my feeble mind reads just what I intended to write, NOT what I actually wrote! Irritates me to no end!
Of course if the "EDIT" portion of this forum actually worked, then I could correct things, but it doesn't....
Let's see if I can't find all the mistakes in this posting:
There! I 'think' that I found all the corrections that were needed...

Holy mackerel man, you've got more toys, tools and things to do than ANY retired man needs, 58 or otherwise!
I'm proud of you for getting those trees down while leaving your power company wiring "up"!! As a long-time electrician, I've seen it go the other way far too many times!
As a point of interest, what kind of generator system are you having installed? (Remember, you get what you pay for!)
I built an entire house pretty much by myself when I was 50 and I thought that was about all I had left in me.. Now going on 24 years later I realize that life isn't over yet and you have to have maintain enough energy to keep going.
Boo, are you jealous of this guy or what? He obviously handled his money well during his working career, he's got a GREAT piece of property, he already owns more machinery that either you or I even have room for! And he has great plans!! I'd say that as long as he's healthy and doesn't smoke or drink to excess, he's pretty much got it made!!
I will suggest one thing Doc, . . . if I may . . . . Be sure to put aside some time to enjoy yourself outside of twisting wrenches and getting all greasy, especially if there is another human being involved with your life.. Work, customers, all that crap will always be there, but when your time is up, that's the end of that and for a person who has set things up as well as it seems you have, it would be a pity to come to the 'end' and realize you hadn't taken the time to "smell the roses" as they say.
As Boo tried to point out, when you retire, it can be difficult to realize the freedom you have just obtained. Most people I've talked with continued to blunder along working at something for several years before it dawned on them that they didn't have to!! Kick back and enjoy!! For tomorrow - who knows??!!
