I live in Milton, in N.W. Fl. near Pensacola. I'm 59 yr. old and if you can say, to hell with it and quitting, is retireing, then you can say I retired a year or so ago. I was in the retail car business for over 35 yr. and decided one day that I didn't like going to work everyday and try to make a living selling automobiles for more than most of us payed for our first house. The business was fun once upon a time, but it wasn't fun for me anymore.
I spent the first half of my life reaching for that million dollars without getting it, and I'm doing just fine with out it now.
The next half is devoted to happiness and fun for me and my bride of 34 years.
I am independent, out spoken and openionated. I also want to learn as much as I can about makeing wood signs with a router. I hope to find a nich that even a border line idiot like me can fill, and then sell it at local craft shows and events.
Thanks for looking me over. I am really looking forward to learning a lot from forum members.
Stay Happy All. IF WE DON'T LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER, THEN WHO IS GOING TO LOOK OUT FOR US?

G'day, HE. Seems like you've discovered the secret

Do what gives you the most pleasure

Enjoy the forum and check out the Show N Tell, you'll se plenty sign making there.
Thirty four years with SWMBO sounds like you've made a commitment. Have fun.

Welcome to the forum HE,
To be an artist or a creator, I feel one has to be "independent, out spoken and openionated", this is the creativity coming out in us!

There is alot of knowledgable talent and opinions here, and always someone to offer thier help.

Have a good wood working day!
John
