Spare Parts

[gcyeaw]

Leroy,
I guess what I meant was that I sometimes forget that this is a
public forum and that I could offend some of the readers
unintentionally.

I absolutely miss the old days when life was so simple and
spontaneous. I currently have two sons in college, one will be a
junior and the other a freshman this fall. My daughter graduated
this May with a masters in geriatric social work, just in time for
my wife and I to take advantage of her education.
I switched employers 5 years ago so I am tight on vacation time.
I expect to retire in 4 to 5 years and would absolutely love to just
jump in a Bluebird and go where the spirit moved. I think it would
be very wise to get started sooner to work out the bugs in a vintage
bird, and to work out the bugs RVing in general. I just have a very
tough effort to gain agreement from the DW. Oh, we could rent and
take scheduled, limited trips, but where would the adventure be? I
want a toy to occupy my time and keep me interested and busy. I'm
not much for sitting in a lawn chair watching the tomatoes grow in
the garden, if you know what I mean.

OK, I'm rambling. See what happens when you don't have a bluebird
in the driveway to keep you busy?
