At times a good idea, just does not work.

The Corn Palace, Mitchel, South DAkota an amazing place, this place is covered with corn... A haven for birds. LOL

So for today:

We are now at our home base, Belmont, NC. It is no secret Sherry and I travel a lot. We left Florida early on Tuesday. I drove for over 8 hours covering 529 miles. I am sure that is not a record for an 86 year old man, but I did not hit anyone nor get a ticket for speeding.

However traveling that far that fast, has started taking a toll on us me thinks.  Now after the trip Sherry says she still feel like she is moving.  This time I think I feel it a little.

I am beat, will continue in the AM.

I DID NOT get back as planned. Like the following truth in our lives.

Before we were on the road full time. We often just took long drives. A crazy idea. ….   Once we decided to leave our drive and flip a coin at every turn. Heads right, tails left. In 30 minutes we were back where we started, True Dat!

So that idea went out the window.

I will sign off for today and hope to do better next time.

Thank you for this update and assurance you made it safely. I just had a thought (ha!) -- how do your fellow motorists look to you "up there" in the captain's chair? The other day I was trying to go around a big RV without speeding, but he/she kept keeping pace alongside. It's sheer size made me a little nervous.

That is a lot of miles to put on in one day. I prefer shorter rides and a lot of breaks. No wonder you are tired. I'm thankful you all are home and safe. Take care until the next time.

Why don't they invent a new mode of transport? Your car stays still, and the road underneath it moves - like on a treadmill. Much more relaxing drive.
