[Healeys] 100-6 part 2

[rrengineer.mike]

Len,     You are under the asumption that I have a significant other at home. I do not. I have spent years building my retirement toy collection of RC models, motorcycle, guns and my Healey project. Those are my reason to live after leaving the work force.  Unlike other worker bees, I will not be lost looking for something to do. Waiting for the mailman every day will not be the high point of my day. I WILL be waiting for the UPS truck for parts for the BN2.  Projects around the house will take a back seat to finishing the car.     Did I mention I am an avid upland bird hunter too!  I cannot wait for retirement.Mike MacLean

For those of you nearing retirement who expect to spend more time on their 
Healey projects, don’t put any money on that bet. 
After I retired, with a project in progress, the family calendar filled up 
rapidly with “honey-do” needs (Honey, will you….), “administrative” (paper work 
that seemed come out of nowhere - maybe the significant other was doing it 
before?), and numerous things that you did not have time for while you were 
working.
Unless you treat your project as a ‘job’, 8-5?, away from the house, I 
predict that it will sit there just as it has for the past few years. Until, 
that is, it becomes a nuisance: she can’t get the lawn mower past it, it’s in 
the way, “are you ever going to get that thing done”, “you need more money for 
WHAT?”, you are getting older and losing interest or physical ability, etc., 
etc. You may just decide to pass it on to someone else to complete and 
concentrate on the one you are driving. I did.  :-(

  I retire at the end of 
  November.  The BN2 will get lots of attention then.

    I'm about 90 days from retirement and just about anything that can go 
    wrong at work is. Driving home a few days ago my wife asked me if I realized 
    I was talking to myself. I just don't need it anymore.
