Now you will wonder where you had/got the time to do all those chores when you were working. Being retired you can do those chores tomorrow or the next day, or the next day.  :biglaugh:

Congratulations on your retirement and thank you for your service.
I thought I had retired and that first fall it was fun.  But then I started a business and we'll . . . Maybe someday.

Congratulations on your retirement! Enjoy it. The only problem often is that extra time on your hands is taken up with medical appointments. Stay in shape and go for it. Let us know how it goes. Pictures will be appreciated.

First off- thanks for your service. I retired this past sept. one day before bow season opened and hunted 35 days this fall. Previously I was lucky to hunt 6 or 7 days a year, quite an eye opener when you go when you want vs when you might get vacation. Enjoy as you've earned it. :clapper:

I just retired a few months ago. Got to hunt a lot more this fall.  Now I'm looking at this year and wondering how I have time to do everything. As a retired general contractor, I agreed to help a good past customer's sons build a hunting cabin on their property. So I'll be busy with that in a month or so.
I'm headed to Texas in March for some javelina hunting. Then turkey season opens mid April, then the Tennessee Classic followed by headed to Mississippi a couple weeks later for the Jerry Pierce Memorial shoot. In June I'll go to Cloverdale and then Compton and
then we have our state bowhunter rendezvous. Vacation in July with wife's family. Another shoot in August, camping trip for scouting in KY. September 15th opens deer season with a week in KY with friends hunting. Deer season is in full swing then and soon another year is gone. And I have to find time for fishing in there.
