Congratulations on your retirement, keep busy, it wards off those tedious moments. I have to say, I am only a few months away from retirement myself but you still have colour in your 'tache, mine is as gray as a seal and has been for years, must be the climate..... A friend of mine just turned a cup for an Ostrich egg that was rolling about on a shelf, it looks good in Yew. As you asked the mind went blank about ideas for you, I shall also ponder a while....
+keyote3 thanks keynote, i doubt i will be sitting around that much. as you can see its going to take a while to paint the house... and then i still have a couple of rooms upstairs to finish. i think i have been lucky with my hair so far, in that it still has a bit of colour in it. my beard is snowy white but the tache insists on retaining a bit of brown. to be honest i think i will prefer it one colour lol. the only thing with retirement that feels funny and good is to be able to say no to commissions that don't take my fancy.
Good to see you again Taylor! Congratulations on your retirement I hope you are enjoying it. Let me think on it and I will give you some ideas. Thanks!
