congrats on your retirement and hope you ejoy it as much as i have mine... been retired 20 years this month and here are some observations on what it has turned me into..
here's some of life's little pleasures that come with being retired...(been retired 20 years this month)
1.no more having to get up and shave every morning...I never shave anymore,got one of those beard trimmers that I whack it back once a week or so... 2. never wearing a tie....wore one of those stupid neck decorations for many years...now I only got one left.... someplace in the closet and I have no intentions of ever wearing it....if a tie is required,I ain't going.... 3.blue jeans in the winter,shorts in the summer....got a couple pairs of khaki pants and a blue blazer for church,funerals,weddings and any visits to the White house. 4.freedom to take a nap anytime I please.... 5.wear crocs everyday...holey ones in the summer,un-holey ones in winter....my feet being comfortable is lot more important that what someone thinks of my footwear.... 6.I have reached the age where my wife has "no leverage" on me...for years I let her drag me around to places I didn't want to go to or do things I didn't want to do just to keep her happy....now she can get mad and stay mad and it don't bother me a bit (if you don't understand-just keep having birthdays and you'll figure it out)...... 7. and probably the most important...I can go fishing any day I want....and...I can not go fishing any day I don't want to..
I like it. My wife took offense to #6. She said she doesn't drag me anywhere. Uh huh.

Congratulations on your retirement. My wife retired before I did, but she still liked to substitute teach so I got lots of those morning that I stayed home drinking coffee as she went off to work. Now she sleeps late in the mornings and I get up at 5 or 6 and have a few hours of quiet with just me and the dog.

I have been retired since Thanksgiving after working for about 50 years. I was afraid that I would be bored in retirement. WRONG! Between the house, the yard. the boat, two cars, my Mother and my MIL, I haven't got enough hours in the day. Pretty soon you will experience the "what day is it?" feeling.
Be safe, Rayzor ![[Linked Image]](http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp267/JLedbetter/th_Boatpics036.jpg) 2001 Triton Tx-21/225 Mercury EFI
