A New Chapter
«
on:
April 07, 2018, 05:08:37 PM »
Well, after 42 years, I signed my retirement papers at 4:45pm yesterday afternoon. Have some loose ends to tie up on Monday and starting Tuesday I'll be chasing Steelhead with a Fly rod/Spey rod for the next three weeks on Michigans Pere Marquette river. Followed by a month of turkey hunting in May and a summer of playing Grampa.
Fall will be filled with fall Steelhead, Atlantic Salmon and of course Whitetail.
It's been a long time coming and I'm ready

Congratulations, sir. I'm still a few years away from that, but am watching the "old timers" retiring from the shop I work at, and realizing that I'm now one of the "old timers". It's exciting, and a bit scary at the same time. Enjoy!!!

Congrats.
You are going to love it.
I've been retired 5 years now.
Trust me though, time will really fly by now.
Every day seems like a weekend:)
