Many times the most difficult part of re-tarment is developing the "I don't have to" attitude....
"I don't have to....."......
....set the alarm
....get out of bed when the alarm sounds
....drive to work
....devote my time to someone else
....do things on a schedule
....get to bed early so I can get up with the alarm
....etc....etc....
:huh:
...but the crickets were unanimous.

Well was one of the things I used to joke about with my Father after he retired. He only got 3 years or so before passing, but I used to ask him if was sleeping in. He would always respond that it was getting better....he was able to sleep in to about 6:30am after decades of being up at 5am every day.

Well, I haven't been around for a while, but I'll hop in. I produce and host a TV show on rodeo. Specifically, we deal with the professional ropers. People think TV is easy money. Not. We make our money selling commercials and other advertising on the show. Today is the debut of our third season. In the link is the trailer for our new season.

Dude... I forgot about that.
I provide technical gear to network broadcast, independent production companies and have lit several broadcast/video productions. I have many good friends in the business. It ain't easy money.

Yeah fella. I have always respected the dignity with which you have accepted the life that's been given you.
I can relate to the head injury issues. Still dealing with the results of a wicked concussion I took in Dec 2012..... Head aches, frustrating memory issues and a much quicker temper. Meds have helped a lot, but life is not the same to be sure.

its funny when we get some random nurse check in now with the health care thingy..who will inevitably say "your doing X" wrong you should be doing it this way" to which my response is alwasy "i have been doing this for over 25 years without issue and i think i know this body better than you do"

Mad props to you 69... taking care of the business that needs taken care of.
I can relate to the head injury stuff. I took a header straight down to a concrete floor a few years ago. Broken nose, broken orbital bone around my left eye, moderate (or so they thought) concussion... and bruising that lasted several weeks. It was literally months before the slightest exertion wouldn't let to a massive headache. I didn't think I'd ever be back to work, and for me, that was hard to take.
The concussion left me with some fuzziness when tired, a slight amount of short-term memory lapse and even more unsteadiness on my feet at times. The wobblies led to a backwards spill two years ago and that just about totaled my lower back, so these days walking far, fast or often is out of the question.
My stunning personality, superior intelligence and extreme modesty remain just as before, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

So, this is making the rounds among tech people on Facebook today:
[video=youtube;DrwH9TthmNw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrwH9TthmNw[/video]
For the record, I have done all of these things at one time or another except guitar tech..... I even finished up the last few dates of a small tour doing front of house audio when the guy who owned the PA quit and left it with us....
Lighting and staging were what used up most of my time tho.

I'd post the video of the guys dropping stage weights out of the grid, but I think it got taken down.. the sound the piano made was ungodly
