Hello from the road - SD

I retired (was downsized) after 45 years in the auto industry. I worked in R&D for a company that makes the clutches and clutch packs found in almost all automatic transmissions world wide, including the torque converter lockup clutch.
My wife and I sold our house in June 2007 and are living full time in our 35 ft. 16000 lbs. 5th wheel RV trailer, traveling around this beautiful country of ours.
We have a 2008 F350 SD, 4 door, dually, diesel. We've put 21000 miles on it in 13 mounths.
We're having a ball and call ourselves "wandering but not lost!"
