So now what? Tme to clean the garage. Almost empty nesters now. Once the kids get settled it might be time to downsize. Lots of honey do's that haven't been addressed.
Time for a new mid life crisis. Last February my wife was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. Given a 20% chance to make it 5 years. Spent all last year as my wifes caregiver thru the chemo and radiation. That shit is hard on everybody. My priorities have changed.
Hopefully tomorrow I go pick up a new camper. A Jayco 264 bh 26' bumper pull bunkhouse. New owner gave me 2 more weeks vacation, time and to see some of the wonders of the world. Or north America anyways. She has 2 brothers in California, a daughter in Colorado, and no idea where the youngest will end up after she graduates.

I must be a glutton for punishment. Last road trip required 2 car rentals to get home, and 1 plane ride to Gunnison, co to pick up repaired truck and tent camper. Wasn't nearly as funny then as it is now.

Do you still have a bulging disc/pain/cramps in your back/legs?
I had slipped disc surgery 25 years ago that cured me for 20 years.
I had to have it done again 5 years ago, but I went home the same day this time as their technique/equipment is so much better now!
Doctor Tim Johnson on ABC News said he took Selenium to prevent cancers from starting, so we've taken 800mg weekly for the last 30 years.
You can do a Reverse Mortgage & retire if you are 65.
Get out there and see our Wild America with your wife!
