What Jolly said. You're stressing for long periods of time and your body can't take it. De-stress more.
You've got to watch what prescriptions are doing to you too.

Happy birthday old man.

I know doing Boy Scouts with my kids and 15 other people's kids and long hikes with my wife and dogs.
The open air in moderation actually helps a lot.
So go for a walk every now and then to clear your head.
Your animals will thank you to.
I walk a LOT!

When I saw your recent post saying you'd sold both of your buses, I was like "yeah right, that won't last long"... and I don't even know you.

I would warn you though... that town is in the Houston area, and we all know what happened to them this year. Hopefully the bus isn't a flood vehicle.
Valid point...but I think Cleveland did better than most...I was in Dayton...and only had about a foot of water...only in the yard...I think Cleveland faired really well

You didn't ask; I offered. Now PM me that shipping address.

And burn me a copy when it gets there.

And burn copies for other guys with 466E's.

And come mow my lawn sometime.

He's got a place to stay and parking so long as he doesn't bring a 40ft bus. Might get a short 30 turned around. Anything under 30 would be a piece of cake.

From what I understand you can tell how difficult it is to back up a bus by the condition of the rear bumper.

The bumper on this shorty is pristine.

Bus bumpers are very strong, but yeild and it is difficult to bend them straight if you back into a tree. It is not impossible to straighten, however.

Trees are tough SOB's.

I prefer to stop before reshaping metal. So far, I've only had a little bit of metal reshaped on my bus and it wasn't done by me.

I haven't messed up my rear bumper but the front bumper is showing signs of abuse. It drags while entering and exiting my driveway.

I'm living in one of the "over the river and through the woods" type of places. There is a creek in my driveway.

I have a bent front tow hook. I might have done that. Asphalt is far less yielding than dirt and creeks. I'm fairly sure the front tires had little or no weight on them leaving one particular gas station. I can get in it fine but leaving even at as much angle as I can give it, it drags.

I was thinking some rollers under the front bumper might be handy. I don't seem to drag anywhere else except my own driveway.

Not a bad idea. I found a roller that would actually work... in the front bumper of my car. More than a foot long, 1 1/2" ~ 2" in diameter, probably weighed 10+ lbs, solid steel. No idea how it got there. It didn't come off the car anywhere. It was sliding back and forth on corners. Wasn't always there. Couldn't find it. A shop pulled it out for me. No way I hit it. The bumper cover was fine. Weirdest damn thing. Shop guy had no explanation either.
