My 38th anniversary in in 3 days. Met my wife in freshman English class 45 years ago. Couldn't do this life thing without her.

Hugh, just as a side note, on my phone with Tapatalk the thread title shows up truncated.

All I saw was "I really don't want to come out" and I thought wait, WHAT???

You just need more hobbies, not another job! Stick to retirement.

Thanks all for keeping me straight. I've decided to not worry about jobs/work. I need to enjoy what life I have left. Taking the big A$$ RV around the country is something that I do enjoy, Maybe not everyone's cup-of-tea, but me, the wife and the dog sure do enjoy it.

My wife’s been jonesing for a diesel Class B for years. I think it’s on next year’s to-do list. We both love road tripping. Until then, I can live vicariously through you guys.

Class A gasoline, front engine. I love it, I have a friend with a Class A diesel and it nice but WAY more maintenance.

Thanks for the feedback, Hugh. Something for me to dig into. We’re likely to go with a MB Sprinter based RV, unless research drives us in a different direction.

Now, don’t let those thoughts of working sneak back up on you again. This retirement gig rocks.

I heard somewhere that every year of retirement is about 5% of the time you have left....do you really want to squander that, and give it back to MegaCorp ?

I'm almost certain .....99.99482583% sure that that last year is 100%

....unless you never retire

I have a degree in that stuff too

The world is full of people who died within two years of their retirement date.

Wait, that didn't come out right ....





PS I'd rather work 12 hours a day than deal with the hassle of going places in an RV, but that's just me.
Most people like travelling, I do not.

I guess my Pusher is under maintained. All I've done is oil and air filter changes. Curious what all this maintenance is. Just got back from 7K roadtrip. Ran like a top.


Wait, I lied. I changed the fuel filters before this trip

It's hard to keep people off your lawn when you are a long ways away from it!

That’s great to hear, Michael. I think the key is staying faithful to the maintenance plan.

Finally, something we agree on!
