I really have a good chuckle when I hear people talking about what they will do when they retire and have more time.
Good luck with that.

Mel, please enlighten us. My dreams of building when I retire gets me through the soccer games and gets me through being an errand boy for the fam.

My Dad retired at 56 and afterward always wondered how he ever had time to go to his day job (airline pilot, when they still had a decent retirement). I'm 56 now and looking at 7-10 more years to work. I wish I now had the problem he had then...

Yes Mel,
every one I know that has retired is now busier than when working. I will likely be one of them.

Before I retired, I got off work in the afternoon, I was off on weekends and holidays.
Not any more!
Like others have said, I don't know when I had the time to go to work everyday.

I built this parachute harness/container system:
Everything we make is 100% custom, just usually not to the level required for a 120,000+ foot jump!

very impressed
Kelly,
I am very impressed. This is human space flight at it's simplest, and most elegant form.

I pretty much do the same thing as Kurt W., for the same company as Mike R. Thank you, gentlemen, for saving me all the typing.
But mainly I just lurk around VAF wishing I had the coin to build the planes and go to the places that y'all do. One of these days...
