Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi celtwich ! In the same boat as you.Retired from the railroad.Made good money back then.But the life style not so pretty.Didn't have time for the family.My son might,just might say hi in 3 months or more.He really doesn't want to have anything to do with me. The wife.Still married.But more or less just friends. Friends.Never really had none.Working for the railroad did that.Having wed. / thur. off working nights 33 years.Hard to make friends. Your home,their working.Kind of makes one say,wish i stayed in the navy.When I retired thought i do things i been wanting to do.Like metal detecting for one.Wellllll didn't work out. Soon as i retired,about a month later medical problems one after another.I agree with what ya say about family forget you.MIne forgot me when i went to work for the railroad. They don't look at this.A roof over your head,food in your belly,education,places they went etc.Yes it hard to wake up everyday & nothing to do & no one to talk to. I live in Louisiana,U.S.A. ,The southern part at the bottom.Grew up trapping,shrimp boats,oyster boats,& partying on weekends at the Honky Tonk bars.Came home out the Navy.Allllllllll gone.No one around. I use to speak the cajun french language.With no one around to talk to I lost all of it. Jobs wouldn't let you speak it. They hated it.The world changed for me.I said wish I'd stayed in the Navy.Problem there is,no good retirement.Have to be a Captain or better with 35 plus years to retire from them. Well i wrote a book. Due Take care now.Hope to chat more... SmokeyyViewDate:

How do you enjoy your retirement?Hello cajunsurfer ! Well I can maybe suggest build a plastic model.I been doing the since day one. It is relaxing to me. Or maybe try wood burning pictures.I'm a retired railroder. And still building.Like doing military. Working on a B-24 bomber now. Let me know what you think. Take care now ! Smokeyy
