I would suggest to your father to just truly do something that he'll have fun doing, whatever it is.

He used to have a workshop in his basement with table saws, bandsaws, lathe, where he could make stuff. Then me and my brother came along and that workshop slowly dwindled away to make room for us.

He wouldn't want part time he'd like to do full time. He's been working his whole life and now that he's got nothing to do it's like a giant shock to him. It's to late for him to learn any computer type skills and he's past the point of doing back breaking labor. Just looking for something that can keep him happy and busy. Currently he goes out and takes photos everyday for hours on end. I'm not camera enthusiast but I know the general area of his lenses & equipment exceeds the 10k mark. I suggested to him to do that as a contract photographer. There's always some hipster out there who needs a quick photo shoot done in a park haha
whitev70r - He was considering doing the saferide driving thing a while ago during the christmas break. Don't know if he'd be wanting to do late night driving with drunk people on a regular basis though.
appreciating all the replies so far!
