Welcome to the forum and retirement - they are both great!
A buddy of mine told me "photography is a great rat hole to throw $$$$ down, because you could never fill it up". I have found over the years this statement to be SOOO true. Best way to spend time and money, keeps the mind straight and me happy !!!!
Aloha photopop and welcome to UHH. I finally retired many years ago and have enjoyed all of it. Photography has played a part most of my life and taking photos has always played a major part. Thankfully digital has taken a major cost out of the hobby. Used to do most of my own processing until I became sensitive to the chemicals and now I can play with the computer as my dark room. Go out and enjoy yourself and the main thing is to have fun.
