Bob, I know you keep yourself busy. I enjoy your post and pictures of your Plymouth all over the countryside. My Plymouth does not get out as much as yours. Down here in Florida it gets too hot to drive in a car without A/C. Feels like temp during the day is around 110 degrees. She is mainly a winter driver down here. LOL, just the opposite of when I lived on Long Island. Up there it was a summer car and sat winters out. Every summer was a trip out to Montauk Point. Also made it into many car shows up there.

CHS, I will be 68 in just over two weeks, too busy enjoying the Plymouth to work this time of year, but I do work for the town during the winter time as a wingman on this 1995 Oshkosh,  love every minute of it  LOL

This is what this club  is all about. Making friends, even if half a world apart. We all love our Plymouth's and like to share our experiences. Bob, I also retired 13 years ago. I am younger than you so I took a part time job to make sure I keep busy.

Good to hear from you, I am sorry that your Mom and Dad aren't doing well, I will add them to my prayers if that is ok with you.  All is well here, I have had my 40th chemo injection yesterday, so far all is well, my wife isn't doing so well with her COPD, but she doesn't complain.  Thanks for the photos of the children and Cooper 11, they look as if they are getting along just fine.   Also thanks for the photos of your Plymouth along the German Countryside, always enjoy those type of photos.

Please tell you wife that she will enjoy her retirement very much.  Hard to believe that I have been retired 13 plus years and never regretted doing so once.

Take care my friend
Bob

see first part "Hallo, I?m ok for myself"

My wife, preparing early retirement end of this year, got a mix doggy of 5 months, saved in Greece by animal lovers.
Yes, he is named Cooper II, as his ideal prototype, Bob Drown?s  Cooper is such a good Plymotheer! I hope ours to be equally good, but we still have to have his first Plymouth ride. All is prepared.
  In the meantime, Cooper II loves to eat shoes of my grandchildren or even the mosquito net

So, hobby time is rarer than in  the last years - but life goes such!
And Bob, all the good for You an Yours!!

 but my 92 years old father is liing since 1st of October in an palliative special care home and he and my mother of 91 need my support a couple of times a week. So I learned the breath of every Autobahn traffic jam between D?sseldorf and Bonn - Bad Godesberg.  51 mls in 55 minutes or 2h30? - depending on the jams. Their flat is a few blocks away from the old US- Ambassy in Germany. (for copyright reasons, I put only the Google earth satellite identifications- just copy-and-paste :)
50.673139, 7.183363
Last weekend I happened to visit friends in D?ren, having nice weather and enough time I took the Ply and all rural and federal streets- no Autobahn chasing! I stopped for fotografing the big three power centrals Niederau?em, Neuenrath and Frimmersdorf. The Neuenrath is the most modern and vlean one of the world but is anyhow fighted politically for dust and environmental problems.
