I see! Yes, I am very appreciative of his help. It would in no way hurt my dignity to take a refresher course with a trainer, learn about the changes and get back on the road again. Yes being in retirement can be difficult. Having purpose, doing anything is often better for ones health. In the beginning I moved to Florida on the coast and I scuba dived every week and sailed my little Sunfish sailboat whenever the tide was high. Being back in Ohio I can only sail in warmer months on a lake and scuba diving is more fun when you can see through the water. My health is great. I am very active and I am still in great shape. I retired early and waited a couple years before collecting on all the money that was put into Social Security. As far as financial goes, my house and car are paid off. I have insurance and property taxes as largest expense. It was my plan to work a few years save every penny and buy a big sailboat and just sail wherever the wind takes me. I thank you for you wisdom. I defiantly do not want to babysit a load of diapers. In any truck orange or not.
