Wrecked my back as pipefitter/T.I.G. welder...
Pension nw, always worked long weeks 80 hours standard, in the country and in Germany and other countries, was so clever to pay in my pension plan so not poor not rich, bills get paid i can do my hobbies, go out drive a good car and save some money every month here in the Netherlands.
Guns are not in our culture, we do have 70.000 sport shooters and hunters though.
Got into shooting working in a former job as Her Majesties Customs sevice as officer on Schiphol Airport.
Did that till i got bored with the job,, got my drivers license for trucks did that for 6 years through Europe, till that got boring and too much controled.
rest filled as pipefitter/welder, well paid but never home.
radio and shooting will fill the time, have fun with both, you won't regret it.
I;m fully licensed here as ham, had fun in CB ages back when we used 23 channel AM radio's
