First Time

Posted on Fri, May 05 2006 @ 10:41 PM [EST]

Yes, I'm a certified GEEZER. I'm 72 and still not smart enough to retire. One of my daughters says I'll retire when they pry my cold stiff fingers off the steering wheel. That could be. Truth of the matter is I can't retire. I've tried it twice and each time I drive everyone around me nuts and my wife suggests (that's putting it politely) that I get out of the house. I'm driving her crazy.
The dear lady who shared the driver seat with me for a number of years can't drive anymore and frankly I think she enjoys not having me around to get under her feet.

Someone told me that I'm now old enough to drive a Buick or a Mercury Grand Marquis. Heck, I'm only 72 and certainly not as old as those old farts who hog the center lane on a 6 lane at 10-15 mph below the speed limit.

So once I get this thing figured out, I'll add some more from time to time. The Good times and those infrequent not so pleasant times. Actually I try to maintain a positive attitude as it sure beats the alternative.

Stay well, keep the rubber side down.

Enjoy the day

Well Geezer, when I am your age I hope I can take a young driver and teach him or her the tricks of the trade. I've bet you got tricks up your sleeve about this business that you can teach the younger drivers like myself. I've got a mentor at my job close to your age that repeatedly teaches me little tricks to make my job easier. At first he thought "Dumb rookie" but has come around and showed me a thing or two that has made my job alot easier. I am always willing to learn and I am one of the young studs at my job but I don't think I know everything because I learn everyday. With as much experience as you have it would be a shame not to impart your wisdom on the younger drivers that are willing to learn. Wishing you well Vaqueromuerto OUT!!!
