Enjoy Retirement? Who Has Time?

I created this blog shortly after I retired from full time employment about a year ago in June 2006 at the age of 63. I could see early on that there was a problem with this thing called 'retirement.' I thought I'd have lots more time for my ham radio hobby, selling on eBay, and enjoying my garden. Boy, was I misled!

Here it is a year later and I am just now finding the time to post my first entry in my blog. Where does the time go? I am spending even less time on the air as WA2KKG, my ham call. My eBay selling has slowed to a crawl with hundreds of items yet to be listed and sold. And the weeds have completely taken over the garden.

Some of my projects on the honey-do list were to paint all the rooms in the house--I have gotten two done so far; spruce up the garden--I've already mentioned that failed project; and when I do get on the air now, I don't recognise any of the call signs I hear--where did all these new operators come from?

To be fair, we bought a summer place at the beach which calls to us all the time. I also bought a 22 foot Catalina sail boat. Need I mention how much time (and money) boats take? And I did start another blog Ham Radio Scene which has been growing nicely. I still cannot figure out where all the time goes. Can anybody help me?

I guess I better get out there and pull a few weeds...
