Now that he’s 81 and has arthritis in his hands and body he can’t really do car work. Cleaning guns is tougher because of fine motor skills in his hands has deteriorated.
He’s never read a thing. Can’t cook. Doesn’t enjoy music or going to a movie. Just goes to coffee then has a beer at about 10am and is in bed by 7.
Kinda miserable existence.

I will probably volunteer 1 day a week and def going to be golfing and doing more yard/house projects.
Barring a tragedy, absolute latest I work is until 53. Then I’ll stay busy with my son until 58 when he graduates high school.

Up until he was 80. He’d work a ton at auctions then be off for a few weeks.
But he fully retired last August and has gone significant downhill since. He just never really had any hobbies and I think has no purpose or drive since retiring.

. . . even my modest lifting routine. I am getting discouraged. I feel like my muscles are ready for heavier lifting but my joints are saying nope.
