    a person a lot older! But it's gonna be raining the next couple days,so they can get a break.

    Rob, I drive cars 2 or 3 days a week for Enterprise Car Rentals Remarketing division. Great part time job delivering cars to dealers or other Remarketing locations.

    No nights, no weekends, and no stress, just the way I like it.

    Might be something you want to consider when you get to Phoenix. If so, let me know and I will pm you the info you will need.

    Go Rhino Dominator D1 step, Extang Encore Tonneau.
    I'm riding an older Mongoose mountain bike(son gave it to me after he got it out of someone's trash and after I fixed it up been riding it about 5 years now) and the missus has a Diamondback comfort bike. No off roading biking for us. Too many nice trails near us with out doing the extreme stuff like the young'uns do.

    Body holds up pretty well with minimal aches:thumbsup:, but then again, Motrin works well after a ride.:D

    No aches and pains with that ride Mike :fistbump:

    I'm buying a KHS Comfort bike, need to look straight ahead, looking up much messes with my neck. Frost in one of the meadows I jog by this morning, wore gloves of course.
    Very windy in Lone Pine, CA last week when I left for our stovie campout in Death Valley. Forecast was waaaaaay off, windy for a couple days and beyond, calmed a little in DV. From freezing temps to 89 in a couple days by going to DV. Where's the shade? Linus had the '35 Gilkie tent trailer, more pics of it in the Off Topic area. Repo dog looking for more shade.

    Evening all! Seems like the subject of retirement comes up regularly here. l have thought about it for the last few years (l'm 61),but not sure l want too.l know y'all talk about how you keep busy,but l have seen and heard so many folks retiring and then kind of going downhill.At this point l somewhat pick and choose what jobs l take,but l definitely go with lighter work.l still like to work

    That’s my intent is to slow down but I can’t in my business. So when the time is right I have to walk away and start anew. What it boils down to is having to answer to somebody else. I don’t want to have to answer to anyone anymore.l

    Years ago it was a respected job. You had control on every aspect of the job.
    I had people follow me during my career for over 30 years because of my service , they trusted me, I had no restrictions, I did whatever I wanted, and they stopped coming to me because I couldn’t handle things my way.

    If you ask around at dealerships as well, they have drivers for dealer trades. Been doing it for going on 4 years and enjoying it. Keeps me out of the Missus hair:D.
