Lone wolf seeks "Pack" or How do you make friends when you’re old?

I'm 50, slightly disabled, smart ass, genius (worked for NASA/JPL) Now self employed as a machineshop. All my friends are in other states and you just want to chill out with a J, cigar or a beer and shoot the s**t.

Not a big drinker, 2 or 3 max, not a drug addict but ill hit a J twice, video games are a passion because of grandkids, I wreck them in COD.

Originally from NYC, so I got a mouth and we used to s**t on each other constantly, no bad intentions, just for fun.

How do you make friends or find a "pack" when you're old?
