Greetings from Brum

[Simon in the shed]

Thanks for letting me join although you may regret that. As newly retired with a little time now on my hands I will be in my shed thinking of daft questions as I battle with lumps of timber and metal not having a clue what I am doing.
Simon

No such thing as retired, it’s only semi retirement. Ask the wife.

No such thing, it's the start of a new job with SWMBO as the boss, but no pay

[Bruce Mack]

I'm retired in Minnesota, USA. Woodworking, chores, my wife. and our cats have kept me alive. This forum, another in North Carolina, online newspapers, Netflix, Acorn, Britbox, some reading, and religion have helped a lot. Life is good.
