Bob, no you are not a fool
but I am not sure what you refer to when you say calling it quits

Take a break bud
like I said in my text a couple weeks ago, pace yourself, the body needs recovery time, we aren't machines despite what the military may tell you.
You know my feelings, ya do what you have to do.
My dad still works in Boston 4 days a week at 81, he takes the bus in before the sun comes up from Sagamore Beach. I hope I am able to do half what he still does at his age if I live that long. He is my inspiration, and I bet you are your kids inspiration as you set a fine example. Ya gotta earn it.
glad you got some fishin time in, I did too, but luck was not on my side, maybe next time
