After working since I was 16 years old I finally pulled the trigger….I retired. The journey begins!
No longer will I have to deal with continuous IT issues, being on-call, nor take that 1 hour long commute each way to the office…will not miss these things.
I plan on keeping busy with all the work I have to do around the house and all the items on the punch list taped to the windshields of the Fairlane and the Mustang out in the shop. Also be able to devote more time to art work and knock the rust off my CAD and Solid Works skills.
But I also came up with the idea that I could possibly “intern” a few hours a week doing something I really enjoy. I approached a local race car/custom car builder and I will be “working” at his shop for a few hours each week. Sweeping, parts runs, making coffee....that kinda stuff. But Im really looking forward to is just learning. The Shop does truly amazing work and to watch and learn will be a real privilege.
Will post some pics of his work soon.

Congrats Henry, I'm sure that with your skills that helping out at that fab shop will be better utilised than making coffee.

That sounds like my dream job! Congratulations 🎉

Wow that's cool, there's a guy with a local machine shop that builds motors. I always thought about asking to do the same there. Hey I know a lot of guys that work at golf courses just to play free golf. If I could learn for free, what's the difference.

Congrats! If you're like most, you'll be busier now and wonder how you ever got anything done before you retired. True story.

With a background in CAD and Solidworks I'd advise checking out 3D printing. A buddy of mine is way into it, and has turned out some amazing stuff. He built/modified his own machine. Lots of info on it on the net.

That sounds like the perfect retirement job. I've often thought that when (if) I retire I'd like to do something similar in an auto restoration shop. Learn the basics of metal work, paint and body work, etc.
