Blimey!

Just went to Joel Eckhaus site and read this:

In 2018, I built my 500th instrument and decided that it might be time to retire.

Crumbs. Another man done gone...

My retirement plan is otherwise. I am reminded of a famous canoe builder Gil Gilpatrick's story of how one of the participants in his canoe building course said he was going to take up canoe building when he retired from merchant banking and Gil said he was going to take up merchant banking when he retired from canoe building.

Me? I just became a superannuated old fart. Still a bloke mucking about in his shed but.

I retired from industry at 65 ...14 years later I'm still hobby building and mucking about in the shed.ld:
