| I can relate to this, on a smaller scale, but I can relate. With every passing year I come that much closer to understanding the phrase "I got out as soon as I could, and boy do I enjoy retirement!" Although, if you're my old man, this is what you do 1) you get a part time job driving for the feed mill because you have a cdl - sometimes 7 days a week 2) you get another part time job, driving milk truck every other week so the other even older fart (75) can have some time off. 3) you have a 3rd part time job driving cars around for a local car dealer, although they only call 1 - 2 times a month, their trips usually involve a plane trip because the car (or truck) you are getting is over 1,000 miles away. I estimate, my old man is working on average, 30 hrs a week in his retirement; you could say he's quite driven. And no, he doesn't need the money, I don't think he could spend the money he has. He just doesn't spend, much.

| Jim a lot of people don't know how to work, and some people don't know how to not work.

| my old man has some kind of nervous energy; I think a psychologist would be needed to fully understand his motives and motivations.
