Post-retirement Avocations

When the temperature is 105-110 degrees, you do not spend a lot of time outdoors so I have been going through some travel photos taken over the past three years and reminiscing about second career choices after retiring.

Initially, I thought I would like to be a professional motorcycle rider but that just led to a bunch of "bad hair" days...

Then I decided to work at Yellowstone for a summer but I kept getting into hot water...

Next I was going to be a professional guide but I kept getting lost...

The idea of being a forest ranger at Yosemite seemed exciting but after what the National Park Service did during the sequestration, I could not work for them...

I was going to try something simple like changing tires for a living but changed my mind after thinking it through...

I thought for sure being a professional gigolo would be the ideal job but that turned out to be way too much work...

I really liked landscaping but hurt my back while straightening out this rock...

As much as I enjoy off-road riding, I decided doing it professionally might be hazardous to my health...

And once I realized that as a commercial fisherman, I was probably going to go hungry that fell by the wayside also...

Finally, after many trials and tribulations, I found something I was really good at...

If you have any ideas as to what I should try next, please post them in the "Comment" section below.
