At about 4:00 this morning I officially turned 66 years old. I feel OLD. Not really, I don't feel any different. The kids were here for two days, I am glad they went home with their mother and father. Having the grandkids over for two nights is great, it is also great when they go back home!! Mary and I need the rest. Except Mary had to go to work tonight!
Tomorrow I am going to the knee Doctor to see if I can get a shot in my aching knee. It must be replaced, but I want to hold off till next summer. I don't want to be laid up as long as I must do battle with MOTHER NATURE with my suicide driveway so Mary can go to work. I am getting the driveway sealed with an oil spray. That is better than the water based sealers you buy at the home stores. They will throw sand in the mix so it is not so slippery. I fell twice in the driveway, I don't want any more falls!

Yes life is grand. Mary and I keep the pain pill firms in the black. And the Doctors make a lot of money off us also. When you get our age the Doctors know us by first name. It could be worse. No funeral directors know us by name yet! LOL I check the obit page in the paper every morning to make sure my picture is not there.
Well I have raved enough about our aches and pains. I am just glad we are mobile yet! A lot of people our age are pushing up daisies. As long as I can still throw my leg up over my motorcycle and balance it I will be happy. I wish Mary could ride again. With her back and neck trouble she cannot stand the knocks from pot holes. I cannot ride far, but getting on the bike and passing cars, I do not feel handicapped when I ride. I am equal to everyone else again. I don't need to see a shrink as long as I can take my troubles out on two wheels and feel young again.
You need to be a die-hard biker to understand that. I once rode with a 92 year old man and his 88 year old wife. They had a BMW motorcycle with a sidecar pulling a pop up tent camper. They rode close to 50,000 miles a year camping. They did not go fast, just far. I hope at that age I can still ride. I hope at that age I am still alive?
Mary has worked hard over our 42 years together trying to keep me alive. I hope I do not let her down, and die too soon! I have had a great life with Mary and the kids, but I am not quite ready to give up the living years anytime soon. Call me selfish, I love THE LORD, I just am not in a rush to meet him right now. I hope it is true "All good things come to he who waits" I just want to wait a LONG TIME YET!
Thank you, for reading my raves.
