Congratulations!
I would like to caution you though. For the first 6 months or so, nobody will really understand that you have "extra" time and you can shoot all you want. But as others become aware that you are available your free time goes away. In the end you could end up busier, with less control of your time, than you were when working.

Congratulations!!! I myself retired in 2006, and was previously "warned" some 20 years before that, about a "learning curve" after you walk out the door. It's not a tough obstacle to overcome--it'll take about a couple of months. What you'll need to learn is that you don't need to rush around trying to catch up on all the stuff you've been meaning to do, all at once. You're not (I hope) going back to work next Monday, so if you don't get something done today, there's always tomorrow! You're priorities can now be shooting, hunting, fishing, etc. That housepainting or lawn mowing--well, it can come a bit later because now you have tomorrow without having to worry about going back to the job. Enjoy!!!!!

Retirement
Congratulations on your retirement.I retired in August of 2002 and have never regretted a minute of it.Now you can quit "living only on the weekends" and start living every day.In fact I take weekends "off" and do nothing.

Here's a hint - find at least a part-time, casual job that you can tell your friends that you are pursuing (so that you don't have to lie).Hobie wrote:Congratulations!

Otherwise, like Hobie alluded to, you'll be amazed how many folks will expect that whatever-you-did-for-pay, you will now do for them, since you have all that "extra" time - free, of course! And the widows and other folks will probably succeed in taking a lot of your retirement time on a guilt-trip scenario! Personal experience, here - shoulda' never told anybody that I can fix and program 'puters!!!
With the warnings having been given - Congratulations!
