The wife, kids, sons in law and grandkids went to Smoky mountain national park where I cheated on my 55 and 40 by driving my wife's GX460 off-road.

Yeah I’ve managed to keep most of the plastic on ours still, it goes everywhere I point it.
 
Visiting my daughter in Oahu on her first semester at college spring break. Lucky enough to take my parents with us.

Dad said last fall he always wanted to go but guess it was going to happen. Pearl Harbor and the Punchbowl Cemetary are two items on his bucket list. One checked off yesterday, Sunday we will visit the cemetary.

Sure is fun to have my kids and parents here with us. Sure makes you appreciate family!

Dad turned 80 in November, Mom will be 78 in June. Both have very early vascular dementia and are very high functioning at present. Being around my mother the last week her short term memory is really scary at times, not remembering if we have driven by somewhere when we were there yesterday. Its been a huge eye opener. She forgot one of her diabetes medicines so I was at the pharmacy the first 24 hours getting her taken care of and now I learn my father may not have brought enough catheters for his bladder stuff so early tomorrow I go back and see how I can rectify that.

On a very good note the wife and I got a contract on our house in Colorado so hopefully in 29 more days I will be making plans to start the wife's house and destroy the 41 year old single wide we are living in and get shop completed so the cruisers can be put in their respective bays.

For now it's all about the family time!

Reading posts like this make me wonder how I will age. We really have no idea, do we? Heck, I never thought I would make to this age!!!

Wow, such good news on the CO house! Congratulations. I am still bummed I never made it up there to visit w/ the other local Cruiser guys, that would have been a fun trip. Congratulations again.

And good on you for taking care of the parents medicine and supplies. Getting old ain't for sissies...
 
Took family to the Polynesian Cultural Center last night. Pretty cool, I can’t wait to get back to farm and throw some sticks with fires on each end around, maybe my lab will pick it up and take into our trailer?

My mission is to dig a pit and cook a whole hog in the ground, I’ve only don’t it above ground.

My father decimated the pina colada in the pineapple. If there was a contest who can get the most pineapple out of it he would have won the contest.

Last full day here and the sadness of leaving our daughter tomorrow is setting in. Wife cried this morning and Kelsey has cried a few times not wanting us to leave. Been fun week though helping fulfill some life long dreams.

Hey that's what we are supposed to do isn't, take care of the elderly? The way my son act's at times the wife and I need to figure out an alternative care source...
As my son reminded me years ago..."Careful old man. I'll be picking your nursing home." Apparently his mother will be near a beach somewhere. He threatened Death Valley for me!
It used to be that 60 was the new 50. At 77, I've come to believe 70 may sometimes be the new 80. At least it feels that way at the gym a couple of mornings a week.

Those are some great pictures!
 
Went to the retina specialist today for my 6 month follow up

My condition is stable. Going blind is not going to happen soon. Probably at least 10 years down the road.

Felt a huge weight off my back

Now to suck all the juice out of life while I can. We are going to Denmark this summer and will cruise the PNW this fall.

My eye quit bleeding, too and disappeared. I'll keep the damage it caused, but better than a walking stick. Congrats, that's a huge relief for you.
