It took a while, but the bus has been sold. It will leave later this morning headed to South Carolina. Will be sad to see it go....

Good to hear Ed! I still miss that bus...

Onward now.

Dreadnought · April 20, 2023, 09:11:48 AM

That's quite sad.

Why did you sell?

Dave5Cs · April 20, 2023, 10:19:59 AM

Awesome Ed. A relief we are sure for you guys.

Dreadnought, even though i am in pretty good health overall, my back and hip have been letting me know that maintaining a bus was going to start causing problems that would probably lead to surgery sooner or later. I would just as soon avoid that for as long as possible. I have other activities and hobbies that i would like to be able to keep doing for many years.

Dreadnought · April 20, 2023, 07:07:01 PM

I'm sorry to hear that Ed, but glad you were able to sell your coach.

I hope I'm able to transition early to nomadic bus living before I have health issues. It's all pretty scary

You feel parts hurting when you turn 80 you never knew you had.

Ed Hackenbruch · April 23, 2023, 07:48:38 PM

Stay active keep moving stay away from prescription drugs those places go away and another one pops up.I had a Herena repaired in DEC that sucked only took 6 months to find a surgeon to do it because of my age

Must be one of the lucky ones, 83 wife is 85 and still going fairly strong. Takes longer to do things, but we do them. Getting ready for a 4000-mile trip last part of May into June. Still riding our Honda Goldwing Trike. Cliff yes at our age we have parts that hurt we didn't know we had.

Ed Hackenbruch · April 24, 2023, 11:23:48 AM

I stay plenty active and don't take any prescriptions.

luvrbus · April 24, 2023, 01:22:14 PM

A Goldwing with training wheels heck Ed I still ride my Harley with 2 wheels

,I don't take any prescriptions they start you with one then add 10 more for the side affects. I like what Van said today we don't see any more peaks in our lives that happen years back
