You have way too much time to do nifty things in the shop. I seem to get

Retired and lovin' it. Kurt Vonnegut, in Timequake, wrote: "Make no

If we do anything useful enough that anybody'd want to pay for, the
gummint taxes our earnings and docks our social security ... and this
after wanting FICA and FUTA if self-employed as a subS corp. Make
saleable soup as a senior, the gimmement is there with four spoons.

Tawk about incentive!
