Retirement

Rico says his friend Dave forwards this, with the note that the guy in the last photo looks a bit like Rico's father (which he does):

A retirées life is not what I thought it would be, but I will not despair.
The proof: 

I have to eat moldy cheese and dried meat. I have to drink old wine. My car has no roof and my bathtub is in the yard. But I will continue to struggle along, and now I must protect my nose from the sun.

With a bit of courage, I will survive this crisis...
