I've been an environmental tech since 87.Get to work outside all the time. In all sorts of weather( funny the weather isn't a problem when I'm fishing) and at landfills and sewer plants,but I get to drive through some awesomely beautiful country to get there! I've been fortunate to meet lots of folks who love to fish and have gotten back to some areas dad used to take us fishing when I was growing up.thumbsup Looking forward to taking my grandson Will fishing in the years to come.thumbsupthumbsup Will and the Duke!

Fishermen are typically a true crosscut of society. Conservative, liberal, industrious, fishing bum, hunters, pacifists (Fly fishermen? )........ So. The thing that most cuts into your fishing time is.............?

redmanjr1, I assume you work at Mt. Home AFB. I was with the 389th Fighter Squadron as the Lead Pro Super from 1995 until my retirement in 1998. I miss Idaho, lots of good times and great people.

Kokanee_Slayer,
Congrats on your retirement and thank you for your service. Yes, I was working at MHAFB but retired last year after 30 years in the USAF. I was in CMS and knew/worked with many people in all of the different maintenance squadrons to include the 389th. What a bunch of awesome people. I don't miss the crap but sure do miss the people, especially my brother and sister maintainers. I will be starting a new career once we get moved out of here...just not sure what that will be yet.

Bduck,
It's been a while. Hows retired life treating you? Been fishing yet this year? Will try Anderson Ranch maybe end of this month IF weather will warm up a little by then. Right now trying to sell our house so we can get moved up to the Spokane area. Take care.

[redmanjr1]

I will. He is in Texas now getting a Masters in cattle ranch management. Doing very well and appears to have a very nice job lined up as soon as he graduates. Good to hear retirement is treating you well. Tight lines.

This seems to be a really old thread with a few 2013 posts, so I thought i'd add to it and then people can update or jump in too. I was a special education teacher in New Mexico for 12 years and here in CA for 14 years. I am NOW finally retired. Waiting for Tortuga to retire (in 3 more years). We planned on relocating to our property in northern New Mexico, but we are now rethinking the wisdom of such a remote area for retirement. I've been researching the Coeur d'Alene, ID area and now the Spokane, WA area. We don't mind winter especially if we don't have to go to work in it. Looking for that Dream area that everyone else wants too.

Reached another birthday milestone this week so the retirement countdown on my phone app reads, 1 year, 11 months, 27 days and a few hours in change. Really, really looking forward to my new career.

 

[gonefishing]

I am a retired Sales Manager and I am very happy with retirement. I have been working on home projects that have been ignored for years. Happly, I am getting to the end of that list, but have been fishing every chance I can get anyway. Fish caught this past 2 months is over 200. Obviously I do not keep all of them. This week I am planning on my grand Kokanee run of going after kokanee for 5 straight days. I know I will be tired come this next Saturday, but it will be the right kind of tired. NOTHING LIKE BEING RETIRED WITH THE RIGHT HOBBY. worthy12101chromefish101

Stay away from Spokane froggie, it has an unbelievably high rate of burglaries and vehicle thefts, even in the more upscale neighborhoods. The pictures on the tourism website don't show what it really looks like. Driving through downtown reminds me of Oakland or El Paso. CDA and Post Falls are 10x better.
