It sounds like you enjoyed getting to be one of the elderly. I'm quite satisfied with being "old" since many fear it so much and too many don't get this far. When I think of the mistakes that I made and how they could have cancelled getting old I sit back and thank God for allowing me to continue on with my life. Hope you enjoy fishing again, it was one of my favorite pastimes but now the plants are more important to me. We have many hours of labor to do to get this place in shape and I love doing it. Good luck in the water.
