I have a pretty interesting back story and have been told more than once that I should write a book. I've thought about it quite a few times over the years, but have never actually put pen to paper. Even if it weren't published, I could see it being therapeutic and a better use of my time than sipping whiskey and watching Netflix. Any of you baws ever written anything of note or even seriously considered it?

Yes.
It would be too hard, but it would be good.
If people are telling you to do it, you probably should

I want to write a ‘how to drive’ book, but I just don’t think it’s possible to explain to women with anything less than a Bible sized book.

I am currently doing research for a book on the history of outhouses in south Louisiana.

You misspelled "people with Louisiana Driver's Licenses ", but I agree.

I've published four novels and two short stories since I retired in 2002. I'm currently working on a novel (about half finished) and another short story (running the idea around in my head).

Give it a try. You can always get someone to edit it and self-publishing is not that difficult these days.

One of my lifelong friends son just put out a trilogy. I cant imagine having to concentrate that much to write three volumes.

I wrote a kids book. Sent it to publishers and had one reach out and offer a hybrid contract. I turned it down and self published. The most expensive part for me was the illustration, but if you're not doing that, self publishing a book is pretty cheap.

First I should try reading a book

I wrote a pretty thought-provoking piece based loosely on The Wizard of Oz. You know the "Wicked" Witch of the West? Well, in my version, she's just a undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic with delusions, hallucinations but very organized speech. I'm not finished with it, though.
