I've been retired now for about a month and I honestly don't know where I found the time to work.
The problem though is since retirement, I'm outside so much more that I've had to really start worrying about the sun exposure. All in all, a great problem to have.

Same "problem" here. I slather on the sunblock. Wal-Mart's house brand Equate Ultra Protection SPF 50 Lotion is well rated by Consumer Reports. It comes in a 16 ounce plastic bottle. I fill an empty prescription pill bottle (maybe holds half an ounce) with the sunscreen and throw it in my bike bag. That way I can reapply every two hours as directed.
I also take a wash rag and use plain water and the rag to wash the sunscreen and sweat off before getting into my car when returning from the MUP. Between the sweat and the lotion, I'm about as greasy as a BBQ rib.
It's might be a bit of a pain in the ass, but it beats getting skin cancer.
