Yes Sir it is,, I am trying to get used to being retired, after working the craziest hours anyone can imagine for the last 12 years before retiring March 6th last year. Most days I am still up 3 - 4 in the morning reading or writing programs to carve in my tiny garage. It made me smile yesterday when I saw the new speed-o mileage on it that Knothead put on it last year. Maybe by next year it will trip 20,000 miles ! It is almost funny and again it is not. In my older age I have walked away from people, some family, that made me think about reverting to the frustrated person I used to be, ( that is saying it nicely ) . Taking the ole scooter out yesterday for a little spin reminds me I made it through some bad roads and tough times. God has blessed me beyond anything I could ever ask for in this life. Kind of like in the back of my mind, when I or we take our old scooters out we most definity have to plan the roads we take, especially those of us that have a "Rigid "frames. Plan the smooth roads not the rough roads I call cow paths, because it will beat the crap out of you ! Trust me I have the scars to prove it ! Thank you all for letting me be apart of this group. I still remember "Ray", and others that helped me through in the begining of this ride. You all have always been good to me, much appreciated ! I will post when I brake 20,000 miles on the ole Scooter! Not is a rush anymore, but it is just barely cover up right now! Well I can't slip out at3 - 5 in the morning and go for a ride. it would wake up everyone within a half mile of here, Including my wife, she likes to be called "The Boss of me! "
You all be safe out there !
Ride till ya cant Ray! Everyday above the dirt is indeed a blessing. Been retired for a few yrs. It does get a bit easier when ya relieze you can just roll over instead of rolling out. After 4 yrs Im finally able to sleep till 7 some mornings! Getting old aint for the weak! Lol. Do your best to make it over to Dave's next month n hang out with the rest of us old retired guys. Hope to run some roads with ya!Yes Sir it is,, I am trying to get used to being retired, after working the craziest hours anyone can imagine for the last 12 years before retiring March 6th last year.
