Mike:
I feel your pain.
I will be 82 soon and after 56 years slipping the slurpy bonds, I have also recognized that it won't be long before I hang up my headset for good.
I have been planeless for several weeks now waiting for a new engine to arrive from Aussie Land and I can see what it will be like not to be able to jump into the left seat again.
This new engine will serve until that day.
To fill my time I have dusted off the old metal detector and am digging coins and hopefully nuggets. This will be my fall back to keep me going. Guess all I will need to complete the old prospector visual is a burro.
Hope you find something to give you the joy you got from flying.
John M
