About 54 years ago I started mowing lawns for a couple bucks, then went to work full time when I turned 16. A short time later I was in the Navy and retired in 1993 after 20 years. Another 17 years in the private sector and my second retirement in 2011. I went back to work yet again and the last 8 years I've worked in the public sector for a municipality. 

I turned 66 in February and, although my wife is considerably younger and I had in my mind I'd work until I was 70, the reality is I wasn't enjoying the work anymore. We're set financially and we decided I can do what I want on my terms and my time. We've got an offer on our place in Mexico and decided we can travel whenever we want, wherever we want and rent whatever we want. We'll keep our current home as the starting place for all our upcoming adventures.

I've got an idea for my own gig and will have that plan in place by late winter, and I'll work on that until the wife retires.

I'd like to go traveling with our daughter.  She'll be 23. In my mind she's going to want to hang out with me at that age

Yea, I want to buy pimped out Mercedes Sprinter and travel.  I’m almost certain my kids will want no part of me.  Maybe hang out 2-3 times a year.

I have permission to retire from my wife and my financial advisor but not quite ready. I don't know what I would do with my time.

I'm already busier and more active now, and feel a whole lot healthier and happier. You'd be surprised. As soon as it became public I was retiring, I was approached by several people wanting me to come and do some things with them-

I already have a volunteer gig with the VA and DAV driving disabled vets to the VA for their appointments. That's typically one full day a week.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
