Starting to realize not gaining as much as thought by continuing to work.  Been working on time lines as ears perked with friends, ex HS Associates, distant married in relation dying off.  Closing up to 70 years aged(Refuse to call it OLD), aches are real and constant now, where as no longer a spring chicken and yes can still make youth appear slovenly or weak I have come to realize is time to Slow it Down.

Have the truck and Camper, need to get them utilized more, need free time for that.  Also need to plan out more free time where working 12-14 hour days do not allude to that very well.  Fact of the matter I do not want to end up too crippled up to enjoy retirement.

I am base lining to return to retirement as of October.  As find my necessity is less and less useful to employer, will let them know when get to a four week point and give that notice.  can at least train up next replacement.

That is why I retired at 64 will be 69 in 2 months, thought I could keep going to 67 but factory work was driving me batty. Still help a neighbor with farm work but take off time I need to get to enjoy retirement.

Sounds Rotator Cuff tear.

Heat today got to me.  Worked a Power Station, 100s typical winter or summer, some rooms 10-15 minute MAX Stay times NO ISSUES just sweat a LOT and as today, 94F with a Heat Index of 109 liked to have done me in.

Doug-  do you feel tingling in hands, pain in wrists, forearms, elbows, biceps, and underneath shoulder blades?
Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

Slow down while you’re able to enjoy it instead of waiting for life to slow you down. I took a buyout and retired in ‘06 and don’t regret it. I worked part time for another 10 years but now just volunteer work for church and keeping the farm from getting overgrown. 
Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

I have tingling in thumb and two fingers.  
A neurologist did some testing on the muscles in the hand neck and arm.  Will have a follow-up appointment with the hand doctor on Aug. 4.  I am afraid it may be repetitive stress induced carpal tunnel syndrome.

The surgery is not what worries me, it's the down time.
