Retire? I just worked almost 3 months straight. Hard physical labour, high 
waves and high winds.

I do my best to harvest 70,000 pounds of Walleye a year. Lake Winnipeg is 
the 10th largest freshwater lake on the Planet. We use nets. We are 
commercial fishers, not anglers.

But since I have no money just cash flow I will need to work forever and it 
won't be behind a desk. 10 years ago I started my exit and went fishing to 
feed people (not angling). 5 years ago I abandoned the desk altogether.

My writing replaces useless activities like drinking beer and watching 
television. I'm plagued by chronic illness like the rest of humanity but the 
hard physical labour of commercial fishing seems to overcome. I am certain 
that I would be dead already if I were still behind the desk.

This is not a hobby to me. It's part of my day.
