Their Late Father's Dying Wish Was for Them to Finish His Dodge Dart. Now They Need Help

I heard a statistic reported that 50% of people who retire die within 6 months or such. Might be apocryphal, perhaps spread by HR departments who want geezers to leave without a payout, or the correlation is because people decide to retire when they decline. Not my problem since laid-off when my company relocated 2 years ago and nobody will hire me - "overqualified" and/or age discrimination (illegal but rampant), so plenty of time to fix my house and classic cars and a backlog of other projects. Plus new stuff like a large tree fell on our house 2 weeks ago when out of town, so current priority before rain comes. How'd I do it when I had a job w/ much travel? Didn't, things kept stacking up.
