Kevin posted a comment on the Boat Porn thread that go me thinking... How many of you have the time you want/need/or thought you would have to use the boat?
I had hoped that this year would be different, that I would have more available time to get out and use the boat as I like. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. My wife retired, which was awesome (other than that whole lack of paycheck and benefits thing) but then she immediately committed to babysitting our new grandchild for a year.
At the same time, while I had hoped to be able to start reducing my days in the office, it has turned out the opposite. I'm now seeing patients MORE instead of less. We also had expected a new associate to start this coming summer, but it looks like it won't be until July 2019.
Then there are the other various things that come up. Weddings, births, funerals, etc... that eat into the limited weekends available and time I can afford to be out of the office.
Do you get the time to use the boat? If you are retired, do you find that is enough to give you the time you want?
