I'm diggin' it...
« on: February 24, 2012, 12:36:20 AM »
Since the end of December...3/4's of my time's been in Florida, I've taken two cruises (one with just my wife, one with kids and grandkids), another cruise planned for April, lots of guitar playin', riding my motorcycles (and buying a new 3-wheeler)...a lot of it with the Patriot Guard, reading everything I can get my hands on, hittin' the beach whenever I'm in FL, fixing up the FL house (Casa del Sur) and getting the St Louis house (Casa del Norte) ready to sell, staying up late at night and getting up late in the morning...

I'm diggin' this retirement bidness.

And thanks for riding with the PG, that's a great service to our fallen.

Being retired has been my favorite job so far.   8)  Your description made me smile.  Guitars, boats, motorcycles, and beach time... what's not to like?

Best wishes,

Being probably somewhere around 40-50 years from retirement myself, I find your enthusiasm about it both encouraging and moderately annoying myself.   ;D

Sounds like you're doing it right though!  8)
