Sarahafloat Posted July 2, 2021 Report Posted July 2, 2021 I have fully retired... scraping, sanding, painting, painting and painting, oh and getting the hydraulic drive fixed and the mysterious bubbles from underneath... joy. I cant wait to get stuck in. 1

I cant wait to get stuck in. Hi The mysterious bubbles, if they are coming up from under a steel narrowboat, are just gas from weed on the base plate, or even fresh water mussels thereon. They are weird at first, but you get used to them. And relax.... Just now, Rob-M said: That doesn't sound like retirement to me. It does to me!
Mac of Cygnet Posted July 2, 2021 Report Posted July 2, 2021 Does retirement qualify you for the History and Heritage section? 4
Sarahafloat Posted July 2, 2021 Author Report Posted July 2, 2021 Not on its own but my boat gets me there! I’m just a good vintage, not quite historic x 1
DandV Posted July 2, 2021 Report Posted July 2, 2021 Nah. If you have retired to a boat you have just changed one type of work for another, albeit though in much nicer surroundings, but probably without the temperature controlled environment. Enjoy.

Derek R. Posted July 3, 2021 Report Posted July 3, 2021 Retirement - the time you start working harder than you have ever done before, but can stop at any time! (And re-start when you like).
cuthound Posted July 4, 2021 Report Posted July 4, 2021 I have a t-shirt that says: I don't have to! I don't want to! You can't make me! I'm retired! ?
tosher Posted July 4, 2021 Report Posted July 4, 2021 When I retired I was advised to start off gently and then slow down !!!!!!
