Trap50, congrats on retirement and best wishes.
I could have bailed out some time ago but have been procrastinating.
All kinds of excuses - not certain where I want to settle/move to [definitely not Boise!]; need to do alot around the house before I put it on the market; want to sell "old" [2001] boat and buy new one [different set up] before I bail out; and the list goes on. :depressed:
Guess what it comes down to is the insecurity [for me] to deal with a new location, alone. Wasn't a problem in my youth when I moved every 6 months from seasonal job to seasonal job, but this is definitely different. And it's tough to give up a great career that spanned 35+ years.
So, my hat is off to you and to TH's father. It sounds as though you've both found the good life. :bowdown: :dance: :cheers:
Hopefully I can get my act together, and gain the courage to make that big step in life....I'm certainly ready for a life of fishing whenever I damn well please, rather than waiting for a weekend or vacation.
