Yeah, all you young (comparitively speaking) guys, see what the big
events are in your future? Looking forward to Medicare. Taint funny!
Then, Jim and Ginger can look forward to getting a supplement so that
what Medicare doesn't pay, doesn't bankrupt them. Our supplement runs a
few dollars under a $1000 a month. Now that's worth looking forward to.
Jim mentioned, and I edited it, that we met at an IH gathering, and have
renewed our friendship in follow-up IH gatherings. So many of my friends
are my friends because of the digest and the regionals. Amazing.
Strange dilemma for Chuckawalla and me. Even though I carry every spare
part except what I am going to need, we don't feel very secure when we're
out alone in the Terra. We may need to weigh our options such as putting
a lift kit in the GC, or the like.
I liked it a lot better when I felt that the Scout, and I, were
unstoppable.

As a good friend of mine, Carolyn Brown says:
"Ain't nothing wrong with getting old - means you're still alive."
I too enjoy the IHC digest (thanks Richard; and fellow digest members).
Need to visit one or another annual IHC gathering. . .
As for outing alone in the Terra - have you considered an EPIRB?

I gues I need an explanation. What is EPIRB?
