Congratulation on the retirement! Yes, there is a GOD! I think you will love every minute of it. I had the blessing of having a summer home on the Rock for about 30 years and have been a permanent resident for the last 15 years. I sent you a PM.

Good for you Rodmaker!

I retired from my first career at 52. I just could not stand lawyers anymore. I am now 15 years into my second career and have signed the contract to teach next year. The beautiful wife also teaches and has declared next year will be her last.

As for learning the tricks of this lake, you will have it figured out (most of the time) within a year.

Rodmaker, congratulations on the retirement. We also had a home built and I was a pain in the rump for the builder because I stayed involved in every aspect from design to completion. If you’ve never had a house built, invest your time into the process. When it is over, you can spend time fishing instead of punch like st stuff.

Rodmaker….If you were like most working guys with a M-F work-day schedule you had the motto: TGIF quickly followed by OHIM ( O he** it's Monday ).  You'll probably quickly switch the days out in those Acronyms now that you are going to retire here.  Congrats and welcome !!

Congratulations!  I am a long ways from retirement myself.  Maybe I will see you around.

.  I have a sneaking suspicion that when I retire I will go from a 40 hr work week to 60 or more.

I am already working 60-65hrs a week, what does that mean for me when i retire? 80hrs?😁

Congrats on the retirement.  I pulled the trigger 6 years ago, and have enjoyed it.  As far as finding time to fish after retire ment; the high water last year hurt me.  I only made it out on the water 72 times.

Condolences. 

Might be the saddest thing I ever heard.

Not.
