Serious question - why not? If because of a lack of time or money, that problem is now solved. You have enough money to retire. You have the resources to sit down and get good at whatever you want. Which means that 43 is not to late to start a hobby.
Just as an example, since moving to Utah a few years ago, I switched my hobbies around, and they built into a whole new way that I spend my non-working time. I take my kids out on 'adventures', going out into the mountains and the desert, taking photos, coming back and painting landscapes based on my photos. I also collect rocks and gems from my trips, make jewelry out of them, and just picked up woodworking and am building furniture with inlays using those same stones.
It is possible that by trying a few new things, you'll also come up with a whole collection of things to do. So I recommend spending time exploring all your options. Get out, do things, explore, and talk to a variety of people. While the feedback you'll get from HN certainly will have merit, this is a very small slice of the world. Ask these questions to a broader audience as well.
