Susan retired from education in May 2011 and I retired in December 2011 . We are not full timers but do travel a lot. We enjoy traveling around the country. There are many beautiful places in the USA and we are going to try and see all of them while we can.
On Friday the 28, I went to my yearly Ole Farts Reunion . I almost didn't make it because that morning I installed two new toilets and my back was killing me. I took a little nap along with some aleve and felt better when I woke. As usual it was good seeing everyone. I left a little early because I was going to Sammi"s volleyball tournament the next morning. It was in the Woodlands and I needed to be there by 7:15. Even on Saturday morning its a hour and 40 minute drive for me. Sammi played well but their team lost all three games. Her team is all first year players and were just over matched. On Sunday Susan got home from her Quilt Retreat. She was excited to have new floors and toilets. Now she has to sand and paint the bathroom cabinets and I"ll redo the walls and put up new mirrors. It will be slow as we have to work around our other plans. On Monday I found out that the part of our deer lease that was not sold would be available for me to release. Its a long story but the bottom line is I can get 738 acres. It will be dry camping as there is no electricity or water . I had to drop the number of members so I just went by seniority. We will have to make us a new little camp area but plan on keeping it very simple. On Thursday i was coming home from town and my truck started shifting funny and seemed to be cutting out. I changed the air filter and the fuel filter but didn"t really help. The transmission fluid looks very clean and no smell so I think mechanically its fine. So probably could be sensors or computer issues. Iv"e been needing to make a decision about my truck and I finally decided to retire it. I have had it 18 years and 381,00 thousand miles. I started looking on the internet for a good used truck. I had already decided to go with a gas engine as we are going to downsize on trailer. I ended up with a 2014 GMC 3500 Crew Cab LWB. It has the towing capacity to pull my fifth wheel untill we get another trailer. I didn"t need a new truck as I don"t think I have another 100,000 thousand miles left in me to travel.
