Well, my dogs think it is great. Running them in the hayfields in back of the house at least once a day. Playing a lot of guitar and going back and relearning songs I'd forgotten how to play. Spent a whole day just organizing all my music into 3-ring binders.
I load at least 1 box of shells/day--already loaded up a box of 3/4 oz 16ga target loads this morning. Running 5 miles/day. Yesterday, organized fishing tackle all day. Have 4 ultralight outfits(my favorite), 4 medium outfits, 3 baitcasters, and 3 flyrods ready to go. Also organized my wading vest. I used to be as crazy about fishing, as I am about grouse/bird hunting, somehow with marriage and family it got set on the back burner. Now that I recently retired, am looking forward to a lot of fishing. A lot of yard and house projects being done. Pulled some old shrubs out of the ground with the Kubota last weekend . Well, the setters are whining, they are ready for their morning run.

It seems the old adage, "Motion conquers emotion," is being applied here.
Dean, if there are enough of your books printed beyond those for family and close friends, I'd sure enjoy being able to buy one. Keep us posted.

Winter came back. Charlie still enjoyed her hike. She takes -20C in stride. My motivation was to get back to the fireplace as quick as I could

I'm mostly doing stuff around the house and in my workshop. Past couple days I painted this door from a horrendous two tone to white and hung this nice old pegboard on it to give me more tool storage.

Destry:
Rotated peg board. If you can substitute yours with this, I will delete here. REC
