Retired

 October 3 was my last day working. I decided to take an early retirement to spend more time with my wife. One would think with all the extra time I would get more gaming in; but no such luck. I have been busy doing work around the house that has been building up for awhile. This week I started cleaning the ceiler, and trying to get rid of 30 years of collecting clutter. I did decide to enlarge my "wargame room". I plan to get rid of my existing wargame table and set up a larger dining table for my new wargame table.

I also have decided to unbox all my books and put them back into bookcases, with the goal for going through them and getting rid of books I no longer need.

The current state of my wargame room.

  1. Congratulations on your retirement!

    You will soon wonder how you ever managed to find time to go to work … especially when you start sorting out your books and wargames room.

    All the best,

    Bob

    1. Thank you. Every time I look at the mess, I realize I have the rest of my life to sort it out and the raising stress dissappears.

    1. Thank you. I had actually boxed up most of my books thinking they would take up less space. Big mistake! Most of the books I want to get rid of are non military books. While unboxing the books I realized that many of the books I will use only to look up a particular chapter for information.

    1. Thank you Ian. I've been busy doing jobs around the house that have been put off for years. At least I can do it at a slower pace.
