Strange how that works about retirement, Ron. Having retired back in
July, I've noticed a couple of things:
-- I loved to sleep in, all the way from childhood. Now if I sleep
until 0900, even in the cold weather, that's late. At least I don't get
up a 0600 like my father-in-law.
-- I can no longer eat like a college student - quantity, that is.
When I was active in the local club, I recall some of my retired friends
saying that they don't know how they ever found time to work. :-)
Back on topic, I still have my stock R-4/T-4X twins, circa 1966, and
bought the same in a "C Line," with the Sherwood mods.
I'm primarily a CW operator, so it sounds like I'm in good shape.
