I’m officially 67 years old. Been through a lot, and not in bad shape, all things considered.
Don’t really know how I got to become an old man. I’m not a man who lives with limitations, but now limits are beginning to set in, and changes are happening. I will adapt, but then again I will be edgy.
I kinda know that I am not a normal man, and it almost seems like I have a super power of sorts. I can kinda do almost anything and pretty much have the capacity and capability, but also understand my mind wanders. I get accused of doing too many things, and having too many interests.
Then there is my rebellion of being “extra-medium.” I know depravity, and doing without, so why not go all the way without compromise to make up for that bad experience.
Take that Audi RS5 ZI looked at yesterday. It had a $90K price tag. I never owned or bought a new car, and perhaps the Audi A4 I now own represents a almost new car that is now a decade old with less than 51K miles, that I bought 4 years ago with 16K miles. Pretty much close enough as new car I ever got.
The 84 Jeep Scrambler with a half-cab was 4 years old when I bought it, and it had almost 20K miles on it. Another lucky find.
So I have the means to save and have the cash to buy a luxury touring car with German engineering. Kinda crazy and bold. I think “Maggie” would support this because she loves the luxury of the A4.
Pretty soon that sticker price will get marked down on that RS5 in the showroom, but I don’t have the cash in hand. That would be my goal. Pretty much just a mindset. I would wait and buy a leftover…
Maggie wants to go to Ireland, and I already have funds for perhaps a monthly travel. I put my foot down not to include other family. I don’t want to be encumbered or slowed down by others. I’m not a group kinda guy.
So I have the get the surgery and recover. Tomorrow I meet the robotic surgeon. Also tomorrow the Sonic Blue Tele Thinline will get delivered.
“Crazy is good,” I say…
