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.
