Sounds good to me except for the golf.
You have my congratulations and wishes for best of luck.

I am on the brink of retirement myself right now.

Recommendation: In addition to doing more of what you like, LEARN NEW
STUFF -- LOTS OF NEW STUFF.

Thanks
Finding something new to learn is easy - I don't have to search too far.
Old time fiddle and celtic music will keep me going for years learning new
stuff

but

What really ****es me of , even more so than the political stuff in a
fishing forum, is that
My old soggy brain does not take things in as easily as it used to - nor
does my body .

I went to a fiddle camp last summer and there were 12 yr old kids picking up
new stuff easily after a few hours
Me I had to go home and practice for 3-4 mos

Luckily I can read water and cast fairly well
and
Playing w the grandkids is definitely a good thing to do
