There's a number of us out here who are "elder" senior citizens, like in two months I will be 80. My mind is still good IMO. I still want to be hitting the road, after all there's always one more person to meet, one more thing to see, and one more fish to catch. Hitching up the utility trailer, the GMC Envoy, the boat trailer,...is nothing. Driving the motorhome, even experiencing a front tire blowout, is nothing (there IS NO side force, it's a myth). Solving the 737 MAX problem is nothing, if we had a functioning FAA.
I will be 79 years old in April. I feel fine and just had a good check up with my physical body doctor and eye doctor. Had surgery on my one good eye Tuesday and was given an okay for driving on both counts. I feel great and our last outing was one hundred seventy miles one way over the Smoky mountains on interstate 40 last October 14th. Wife said I did great both going and coming home. We are about to leave on a trip to Findlay Ohio in two weeks. I really feel okay about driving and feel safe behind the wheel, unless someone tells me different and unless I get caught in a crash I will continue to drive the big rig with the f250 diesel with ease. WE plan to go to Wytheville, Va. and then on to Findlay the next day. breaking the trip into two days instead of making it a one day trip. The first day is about 135 miles the second day is about four hundred miles. Maybe we just might meet you on the road between Wytheville and Findlay.
