Rick, I am luck this job isn't hard (other than vehicle knowledge) and they pay me pretty good. Pay well enough I do far more than I am responsible for!
As I told others and someone today "they will either have to fire me or bury me!" I will be there for a long time! But in a couple of years when I start to draw my SS I will drop back to part time for the rest of my life!

Just keep doing what makes them happy.

I retired from the dump truck factory in 03 then did home maintenance for 5 more years.

Either one of those will work but do you really want to get married again?

Dropping dead is out of the question.
