welcome greg
there are 2 ways to post pics.
the easy way is to click the "additional options" link just bellow  the section you type your message in and click "choose file".

the more complex way is described on the following link.

I wouldn't say retirement home.  I would say "on the road to Florida for some R&R, refit and rehabilation."

It looks like a good canidate for a restore.
