Subject: RE: How do you tell your dad it's time to stop driving tractor



I don't know what to tell you other than you need to do something. My aunt that raised me was a terrible driver in her old age. Anytime she even thought someone was criticizing her driving she would fly into a rage & threaten to sell the farm, which has been in our family for almost 200 yrs. Instead of insisting she give up driving we stayed quiet & prayed she never hurt someone. When she was 87 she was killed in a wreck, ran a stop sign & was hit by another vehicle. Fortunately our prayers were answered & the other person, teenage boy wasn't severely hurt. Actually was a good thing for him as they found a place on his brain that if undetected would have eventually possibly burst & killed him.

Will add, I'm 72. I know my skills are not what they were. I hope when the day comes I need to quit operating equipment God gives me the strength to realize it's time to quit or if my son tells me it's time I am smart enough to accept it.
