My goals have changed over the years. Now that I am established as an awesome driver...i need to narrow down some possibilities that will help me care for my elderly mother.

What are your goals?

If you can believe it you can achieve it.

Great thread topic!!!

1) Stay married to the woman that rescued me from myself 32 years ago. Doing WHATEVER that takes.

2) Live long enough, and well enough, to retire to Mayer, AZ and while away my days with The Beloved.

3) Finish out my time with this outfit in an honorable fashion, leaving with reluctance and their well wishes. Stand as an example of one way that it should be done, making my dad and my grand-dads proud of their progeny.

- To pass on to my grandchildren the core principles and values I was taught as a child.

- To never lose the joy of holding my wife's hand.

- To make my grandchildren proud, so that they may hold their heads high, knowing where they came from.

- To live out my days in relative peace and comfort.

That's about it. I need nothing more.

To continue working my second career while my son attends college. Maybe beyond that but we'll see.

One day we will sell our house, find a condo somewhere warm, and buy an RV.

I will continue being a husband, a father to a son, and an Uncle/Great Uncle to dozens.

One day I hope to be a Grandpa and wear a shirt that says "I Only Take Orders from my Granddaughter/Grandson.

Not get any more speeding tickets, one day at a time. Get my second career started, spend a couple years driving as a company employee, proceed to start a small power only business, essentially subbing to carriers with a power only program. (very akin to the business Ive owned in my previous field, was a trade partner to large home builders) Over the next 3 to 5 years pick up several rental properties for relatively passive income and equity. Expand my travel to more places in Europe, and although it sounds insane, I want to drive a truck over there just once, just to do it. Somehow balance out vocation with avocation-road racing motorcycles, playing music and a relationship with a fairly independent woman.
