Don't have time to do much of anything. How the heck I usta take care of all the home business and work 11-12 hours a day, I dunno.

My day is pretty structured. I get up when I wake up. Sometimes that's 4 A.M., sometimes it's 8 A.M. When I get up, I check my two main email addresses for mail, then start running through the sites that I visit daily. All except two are auto related sites. That may take 1 1/2 to 3 hours to do depending on the activity and whether I make any posts. I forgot to say that my first thing to do is to make coffee and get the paper.

I don't read the paper 'til I've finished romping through the internet. By the time I've finished the paper, the wifey is up and cooks breakfast. After breakfast, I'm usually ready for my morning nap.

After the morning nap, if I'm really frisky, I go out and work on the old 58 Impala I'm building. That may last one hour, two, but usually not more than four hours. It's time to start planning supper by that time.

On the days that I don't work on the car, I'm willing to consider...consider only...one and only one item from the honey-do list. I may not do it, but at least I consider it before I decide it the honey-do item is more important than my afternoon nap.

Between those activities, I'll usually run through my favorite sites again to see if anything interesting has come up.

Special considerations are given to visits to the commissary and such like. That's usually an all day ordeal even if it only takes an hour or two. Gotta get in the mood, shave, put on decent clothes etc. Heck, by the time I get back, I'm so tired I need a nap. Besides, I don't like to plan more than one activity on any given day. In fact, I try not to plan anything at all. I prefer to just see what happens and go with the flow.

That's enough about my exciting life for now. I like retirement too. Especially the naps. :)
