Wow 12 years now that's wonderful Gord I'm just beginning my 17th year, how time flies eh. I think it's great you taught yourself to play a guitar and I'm glad you're enjoying retirement like the rest of us. Do you play a tune for the boys on the pier while waiting for the next perch bite? ? You could always pull out a 4x8 sheet of plywood like good ole' "Stompin' Tom" Conners and get the boys right into it. Hey who knows it just may turn the perch into a feeding frenzy. ?all kidding aside Bob, its twelve years. took up some activities (because I could/wanted to). taught myself how to play guitar, not to bad a pool player, fished when I could, may not sound like a lot but it passes the time
