What's this?

I understand.

Btw, I seriously think it’s awesome that you drive a bus. Did you semi-retire and now drive a bus and do some farming (I believe) in retirement? I seem to remember a discussion from many years ago (a tax discussion I believe) where you mentioned retiring early.

Thinking of retiring early myself (unfortunately more due to my wife’s health) and was curious how it’s going and any tips you have. That is if I’m remembering your situation right. If not, my apologies… but I still think it’s awesome that you drive a bus.
