Things to do when you retire...
 

I figured I would ask all the pros here since my last day after 35 years in the electric utility industry is the 30th!

I’m not retired but that’s a softball....work on your next Seacraft of course in that new building!

I think your most magical skill is diving.

Maybe find a way to share that with future generations?

Definitely spend MORE time on the boat doing ANYTHING!

Congratulations!!! Enjoy!!!

There is certainly some boat projects going to happen but the main driver for retirement was that our daycare for our granddaughter closed and we didn't have any feasible options that were not going to create more travel time and burden on her. Now I will have all the time in the world to take her to school and pick her up as well as enrolling her in gymnastics, soccer or whatever she wants. What appeared at first to be something terrible turned out to be a blessing beyond any expectation.

Super big congratulations Ken!! :) Tell Mel to move to two to three page honey do lists!!

I told her to get the list ready but now she is meeting with our retirement management group and it is very possible she will be able to work on the list with me.

Outstanding!! Deb retired at 56, I went at 59 1/2, I gave them enough time!!!! Not working is good. Good luck! :)

Congrats Ken, the day we all have worked for has arrived. Hard to grasp at first, but you’ll get use to it. If you don’t already, get yourself a good money mgr and enjoy your time with family & friends.

Congrats to you! Maybe Mel too as it sounds. I'm sure you will find many projects and short trips to enjoy.

...and when everybody sees that the little mullet has a great white following her around, I doubt she will have any trouble! ;)

Congratulations Ken. I retired at 55 and since we were already into camping,we did more of that. Went from Florida to Alaska twice. In between camping trips, I worked on things that were neglected around the house and restored my car. Fast forward about 15 years or so and projects around the house take so much longer now.
I can tell you one thing , time seems to move on so much faster the older I get.

It's like toilet paper as you get to the end of the roll :)

Congrats...MY Definition of retirement is

DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO...WHEN YOU WANT TO!

Good point Terry !!
Also while we can before it is to late...

This was also a big driver in the decision. If I don’t have to deal with another weekend boat ramp it will be too soon. We are starting to look at some small homes with open water access. If we can’t find what we want we may opt for a canal lot we can have a lift on and find a nearby land locked house. We would consider building but I’m not doing the house on stilts thing.

I believe that Hernando Beach has gotten so ridiculous I’ve considered selling and heading north maybe as far as Cedar Key. Did you get my text about Opening Gags?

Congrats, btw!!!

I think I did but I'm missing the first two weeks as we are traveling to Nashville to meet my year old grandson for the first time. I normally don't like to go on the first few weeks anyway as you might as well just post you spots on facebook for everyone to have. It will be worst than scallop season this year.

Ken: so how is retirement so far? Sleeping in late?
