Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – May 2016

 

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

To Oklahoma City and back on a business trip

Plugged in the nuvi and zumo to train them with a little more legal driving speeds than my normal bad habits. Used waze on the phone though for traffic warnings.

MDA Ride for Life

I attended the PA HOG (Harley Owners Group) MDA Ride for Life last weekend in the Poconos. We raised $1,110,838.00 this year and had a great time with the kids stricken by MD. Great event

The entire ride there on Friday and return trip home Sunday were both rain soaked trips. Rain gear overtop heated gear kept me dry and warm. Used the Harley factory GPS which isn't the friendliest, but does have great screen. While there I had to train another rider how to use his factory GPS. His new bike is 1 month old and it is his 1st GPS, it was hilarious.

construction

There is so much construction in my town I needed to use the Waze to figure out how to get on the highway.

Have to get the motorcycle

Have to get the motorcycle out - seen some all around now but just been busy and will have to get it out this week. Give it a nice wash and go for a run. smile

Agreed

That can be a real challenge sometimes. At least my Nuvi reroutes pretty quickly if I can't take a turn it tells me to when the road is closed.

The Latest Trip

For Mother's Day flea market hopping in NJ

Fredericksburg, VA

for some Thai.

A friend quoted this from insurance statistics:

Retire at 55, long life ahead of you.
Retire at 60, not as long as from 55
Retire at 65, some never make it past one year.

Worst case was a man at work who never took time off unless he absolutely had to. Retired at 65 when he was pushed out the door. Made it for TWO days only !

BTW: I retired at 60 and have 14 years under my belt already.

7 years to go

I retired at 62. A friend who worked at the IRS advise me to retire at 62. Collect your money up front because you might not make it to 75.
