Mark, Dean when my Dad retired, he came and fixed everybody's everything! He then built computers from scratch, and gave them to all of us, cousins included. He did not charge. He was born in '29 and worked all his life. Before he went to school--he did half a days work--, and he could not sit still after he retired. When he had a stroke, he could not do anything, he lasted 3 months. I did not take after him, I suppose. I can sit all day and drink and smoke. He was wealthy at 30. I will never be, but that is the way life goes. I'm easily satisfied.

Ken, I can tell from that post that you and I could while away a few hours with sticks and drinks. Our fathers....mine was a tough act to follow as well. But like you said, satisfaction. Tough to find that balance sometimes. Sometimes we learn too late.
