Hands just do not work as well with tools as they used to. Which is how I made my living. Just getting too old for some of this.

My wife posted earlier, now I have to chime in. First congrats on the long marriage as well as many years of travel. I hope I am lucky enough to have the choices you have later in life.

Being men it is our jobs most of the time to fix it, repair it and make things work. When the constant repairs start to overwhelm what we are capable of, it gets frustrating. Not knowing your every thought makes it next to impossible to understand everything that your feeling, but I know one day when the constant work and tinkering outweigh the enjoyment of traveling I will be done as well. We do not have unlimited funds to always pay someone else to fix it for me, and would always think in my head, I could have used that money for... Insert item here.

You have to ask yourself, do I really not enjoy traveling or do I just hate the constant work that goes along with it? If your happier staying home, playing with the dog, drinking a cold one napping, then you have earned very bit of that.

Your marriage has not lasted this long without conversations between you and the Mrs, and I know the two of you will work this out to make each of you happy in your decision..

A person like you is one who I hope that parks next to me in our travels, and shares his life experience with us. We look so forward to meeting people such as yourself.

I wish you all the best in doing whats right for you. As life changes we all make adjustments, and it seems that you are at that point again, where a slight correction to the plan is what is needed to make things good again.

The wisdom you have, will undoubtedly come into play here and once you ask yourself all the right question you will come up what's best for you.

Please, even if you do not travel, post here as often as you can, We can all benefit from your knowledge... I wish you all the best.
