So What Do You All Do When........

[Flowerpot]

Probably not your thing, but I make journals, you know paper stuff

Gary facets now and then, but hasn't for a while

And we're both learning to play banjo, it's fun you can learn online and it's an awesome instrument to learn to play

All great stuff to do when it's cold and gloomy outside, keeps the brain active too, actually it's all good stuff to do anytime.
Cheers Keefy, hope you find something that suits you.

Research and dream of where I'm going to find that retirement nugget. Been doing a lot of that lately.

Play world of tanks on the comp

Lol was gonna say that in my post, when all else fails World of Tanks! My old man is 73 and he plays it in his downtime, he still works too.

Its like crack cocaine

It could be worse xcavator,trust me
A week before our holdays,late june,my back thats a bit dodgy went real dodgy,been dealing with it for 3yrs now,managing it but a full days detecting had become a memory,anyway 2 neuros later in perth and waiting etc,scans appointments,had surgery yesty arv,wont be detecting for 3-4 months i reckon at least ,we had 7 weeks off,the boss was looking foward to the plibara for 6 weeks,we were half packed and ready to go anyway the mens shed looks good,ive been doing some research or repairs to detecting gear or the 4x4s if i can,im hoping to be out of hospital and fly home fri,last month i think ive come close to seeing every episode of top gear ever made while laid up.
The restored Tonkas look fantastic!
Depending on where you are you could also volunteer if inclined to local soup kitchens or soup-food runs for the homeless or underpriveleged,weve done it locally off an on,really enjoy it.....

Get in the van and go North for the Winter.
Just remember to pack your detector, surf and river rods, a red wine and good book - or someone who's read one

My old man aged prematurely after he retired simply because he couldn't find much to do with his time and I swore it would never happen to me. There are days when I go like a man possessed on a mission of some description and then there are days when I am amused just watching ants clean out the dog's tucker dish.

Having a shed where things just get thrown in the door and where they land is where they stay is a bonus because I am always finding stuff that I forgot I had and that usually opens up a new project.

Some days I am quite happy to go underground and sit and ponder - should I dig this way or should I go a different direction?

I've made the decision that next winter will be the last I spend in Vic. Will hit the road after Easter and come back in October.

Lol nice... the older blokes in my clan are 55+.. there on everyday. Good for a laugh jumping on for a tank and talk.

Knife making will keep you nice and warm in winter. You could sell them once done.

 

[markgoldhunter]

Try EVE online, steep learning curve but so much depth.

Thanks for the ideas :Y: I've had a chat to another member and I'm going to look into the lapidary stuff and maybe the painting pictures. And yes , I think some heating in the shed will be installed

cheers Keith

sitting here in the Anakie Caravan Park, waiting for the gem show to start, warm as toast. Doing a bit of fossicking and relaxing, wife is learning skin polishing at the local lapidary club, will probably start heading south mid Sept, probably Nundle for a cuppla weeks, then onto Parramatta for a family do. May spend the summer in the hills above Tumbarumba, then maybe Not,

life is great

He makes it happen so easily hey.... like you just need your gear and then just start to play.
And there are lots and lots of videos that he's made too. (enough to be busy just watching next winter... let alone painting) :Y:
