<DIV>Len,</DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> Did I mention I am an avid upland bird hunter too!
I cannot wait for retirement.</DIV>

<P>For those of you nearing retirement who expect to spend more time on their
Healey projects, don’t put any money on that bet. </P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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. :-(</P>
