Oh, there's no risk of boredom!  Rather, the question is WHAT will capture my
interests to "consume" all of that time?

A friend restores old aircraft (military & commercial).  Another trains
birds of prey.  Another tinkers with classic cars.  Another goes to motorcycle
rallies (e.g., doing the 1300 miles to Sturgis on his bike, annually).

Had you asked any of them what "retirement" would do with their "free
time", I doubt any would have predicted their current activities.  I'm doing,
now, what I've "always wanted to do".  So, suspect it would be foolish of me
to try to predict where my interests will end up!
