Good to hear from you again Bob. Enjoyed meeting you at the Drivers School. I found the last year before retiring to be the most difficult by far. But external projects helped the time pass. You are an expert in the health industry but you also have wonderful skill sets that serve you well in coach ownership.
The key, as you know, is the stress. Two years out from retirement, from the Air Force, I restored a repossessed Cape Dory that was chained to the dock in Annapolis. Took it completely apart and recommissioned it. Blessed sanity in a difficult time.
When I decided to retire from my business, I started looking for a travel vehicle and ended up with my 270. I knew nothing about anything in motor vehicles and less about a bus. The coach, my 57 Chevy, has been so valuable for engagement and providing meaningful learning. I still don't know much but I have at least made campfire lore as what not to do at a couple of Quartzite gatherings. Even made a topic line here in the Forum for an $8,000 solar array that wasn't. BUT, there is so much to learn here for any level of expertise. Most of us get a little burned out at times and step back a bit. Just watch the urge to withdraw. You worked your way up in a difficult field and no matter how much you look forward to closure, it was your life's work. You asked and that's my cut my friend. Best to Julie, Steph and I look forward to seeing you down the road.
