Yes, you'll see when you get there.
I took early retirement at 56 with a layoff package but eligible for the pension. Then I hung out my shingle and did consulting work for the next 8 years (paid my monthly bills and then some.)
Started taking SS at 65. Now I work volunteer at the local hospital 10 to 15 hours a week. Keeping active and riding in the wind keeps me alive.
Unfortunately, my wife died some years ago, but I have grand-daughters that love to ride. I take them on short road trips several times a year.
Sorry to hear about your wife. But glad that you have kids that love to ride with you. Both my daughters love to ride too, and I can relate. My youngest daughter is a boatload of fun to ride with. When a song she likes comes across the stereo she dances. It's hilarious to watch the reaction of people next to us at red lights.

I'm not bitter about it. I went to school until they said i couldnt go anymore. I am a certified weled with fabing training on bikes. Winter is the killer for me. Cant hardly go outside, in bed mostly. Just too much metal in me. That is what got me to riding trikes. I really enjoy working with metal. For a while I did custom fabing but it got cloes to getting out of hand. So I only do it for folks that I know or some on the forums. Whey they say it cant be done, that puts me in a mode to figure it out. I usually succeed. Got to go pack, taking a good ride.
I'll post some photos and maybe a viedo.
Well, gosh--I'm gonna have to think of SOMETHING for you to fabricate now. We'll have to work out logistics of how to get whatever it is you make from Alabama to Kentucky.
