Thanks for all the good thoughts from the folks on this forum. 
I've heard from others that retirement makes you a slave to others. LOL I'm finding out that might be the truth. The "buds" have already called, and said, since you don't have a job anymore, how about coming out and helping me................

Speaking of helping others...if we get rain do you want to come look for morels and shoot a pig or two. Ah never mind, I see you are busy.
UHHHH, wait a minute! I can find time!!!!!!!!
Hey somebody wake Shoddy up. He's taking this retirement crap to seriously. 10:30 and no post.
His wife might have already started him on the list of to-do's, including a trip to Walmart (timed to coincide with the free food handouts), the laundromat for the big comforters (and his tighty whiteys thrown in - why not?), the DMV where they'll suggest he go out to his car and cancel the turn signal, and finally an early dinner at Golden Corral.
Throw that damn alarm clock away and have some fun
I am SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO envious! I just turned 61, and really want to retire at 62 (or before). If I had the insurance option you did (congrats!), I know I cold make it happen. As it is, I'm not so sure.
Enjoy every minute of it, Dennis!

Congratulations, Dennis! I am nearly two years into the retirement business and feel like I've finally found something I'm good at!
You are correct about the need to plan ahead for financial security and health care. I am fortunate to have Federal BC&BS for wife and me at an affordable price. 2013 was my first full year of drawing Social Security and I realized the need to have some withheld for IRS. My wife is still working and has a good job, we have no debts & no dependents, farm/business deductions, etc - so the tax people spanked us pretty well this spring.
Well - I'm off to the golf course!
