Well, I drove up to my clients business on the far east side of Columbus yesterday morning with my older brother.

I did okay going there. I was too tired to drive back though which is exactly why I asked big brother to go with me.

My brother idoes the best he can with what he has to work with, but he will drive most people absolutely, including myself, nuts with his driving skills.

He is lost in the 60's. He refuses to use the cruise control when he is on wide open interstate, and his speed is anywhere between upper 40's to 75 on wide open straight for miles interstate .

I was still half daffy last night from that.

I don't believe it will happen again. I appreciate him going to help but he really should not be allowed on the interstate at any time. I do not know how his better half stands it...

So I was fairly tired from driving up and riding back. But I still managed to stay awake until around 9:00 p.m.

I also learned he has heart issues now and my cardiologist is his doctor.
I told him he needs to get rid of that excessively large protrusion out the front of him and it will take some strain off his heart.
It should not be hard just by his cutting back on all thebeer drinking he and his were doing. I told him as much. He says he is only going to odrink one can a day from now on. I told him why not ZERO cans from now on and save the calories and money.

Anyway, it was a good test and I know I still have some way to go before taking any far road trips to spend time say in Cleveland area and 60 miles east of that, or out in Evansville, Indiana and St. Louis.

That's out for now. I think I can drive locally in Cincy where I have about a dozen clients. None of them need me for technical advise on their systems but I do help them on their choices of coatings.

So its fun getting back slowly into a routine.

At some point I am going to need to consider slowing down or stopping altogether and just enjoy retirement. Will see.

Have a wonderful Day everyone!
