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!"

Welcome! Oh man! That is a cool story!

Make yourself at home here. You will find plenty of topics to use your experience and you will meet some great people to. Enjoy your retirement and stop in the local chapters to find interesting places to visit on your travels.
