Sounds like a interesting assignment. I know what you mean, I lived in California for 4-5 years and there is no way I wanted to rais a family there.. It is nice but it is a Rat Race. There is nothing like the clear water of the Ozarks. I think I am fihing a mud puddle every time I go out here.

Good luck with your Ret. I am sure you will find much more time to fish inthe near future.
