[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3303126, member: 43754"] I retired 11 years ago. At first it was aweful. Boring nothing to do. Then the wife threatened me, do something or she would find something to do for me. Well I started puttering, and then doing. I didn't work, I did activities. As things go along I got more and more active until now it is necessary for use to have a schedule book to keep track of things. Grand kids school plays, deer hunting trips, planninf on doing a cruise in January. Looking at another cruise in March then turkey hunting. Change the way you do things. In the past to get ready for hunting season meant running out the range for a couple of hours sighting guns in. This year in retired status we went to the range 4 times and spent the whole morning each time. Test several different guns we always wanted to try. Decided to buy the wife her own gun so that meant going gun shopping. Several shops visited and finally. Had to fit the but pad, mount the scope and back to the range for sight in. In my working days there would have never been time for all that. No retirement is not for the weak. Busy all the time. I wonder how I ever found time to have a job. Happy retirement, enjoy! Your earned it. [/QUOTE]
