Awesome work, watch out for these great people while you travel…

Psychiatrist Dr Joseph Dunn is transforming mental health in rural and remote towns. His volunteer group of motorcycle-riding psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses and counsellors – Psychs on Bikes – travels across the country to support people’s emotional wellbeing. Over the past decade, the mobile professionals have covered 40,000 kilometres and provided more than 1000 free physical and mental health checks. “The su***de rate in the bush is nearly double what it is in the cities,” Joe says. “And it's about 80 per cent male. We want to break down the barriers around mental health and help destigmatise the idea of asking for help.” In May, Psychs on Bikes travelled 16,000 kilometres across Queensland and the Northern Territory on its most ambitious ride yet: the 2021 Big Ride.

Great work by the NRMA…

More than 1000 fixed warning signs are set to be reintroduced in areas where mobile cameras operate after there were claims the scheme was revenue raising and not saving lives.

Thought for the day/week/year...

Between 60 and death.

It's time to use the money you saved up.

Use it and enjoy it.

Don't just keep it for those who may have no notion of the sacrifices you made to get it.

Remember there is nothing more dangerous than a son or daughter-in-law with big ideas for your hard-earned capital.

Warning: This is also a bad time for investments, even if it seems wonderful or fool-proof.

They only bring problems and worries.

This is a time for you to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Stop worrying about the financial situation of your children and grandchildren, and don't feel bad spending your money on yourself.

You've taken care of them for many years, and you've taught them what you could. You gave them an education, food, shelter, and support. The responsibility is now theirs to earn their own money.

Keep a healthy life, without great physical effort. Do moderate exercise (like walking every day), eat well, and get your sleep. It's easy to become sick, and it gets harder to remain healthy. That is why you need to keep yourself in good shape and be aware of your medical and physical needs. Keep in touch with your doctor, do tests even when you're feeling well. Stay informed.

Always buy the most beautiful items for your significant other.

The key goal is to enjoy your money with your partner.

One day one of you will miss the other, and the money will not provide any comfort then, enjoy it together.

Don't stress over the little things.

You've already overcome so much in your life.

You have good memories and bad ones, but the important thing is the present. Don't let the past drag you down and don't let the future frighten you. Feel good in the now. Small issues will soon be forgotten.

Regardless of age, always keep love alive. Love your partner, love life, love your family, love your neighbor and remember: "A man is not old as long as he has intelligence and affection."

Be proud, both inside and out. Don't stop going to your hair salon or barber, do your nails, go to the dermatologist and the dentist, keep your perfumes and creams well stocked. When you are well-maintained on the outside, it seeps in, making you feel proud and strong.

Don’t lose sight of fashion trends for your age, but keep your own sense of style. You’ve developed your own sense of what looks good on you – keep it and be proud of it. It’s part of who you are.

Have an active email account and try to use some of those social networks. You'll be surprised at what old friends you'll meet.

Respect the younger generation and their opinions. They may not have the same ideas as you, but they are the future and will take the world in their direction. Give advice, not criticism, and try to remind them that yesterday's wisdom still applies today.
Never use the phrase: “In my time.” Your time is now. As long as you’re alive, you are part of this time.

Some people embrace their golden years, while others become bitter and surly. Life is too short to waste your days on the latter. Spend your time with positive, cheerful people, it'll rub off on you and your days will seem that much better.Those who have a motorhome or caravan and want a better social life join the NZMTG.

Spending your time with bitter people will make you feel older and harder to be around, and we know there are a lot of grumpy old bastards in other groups.

Do not surrender to the temptation of living with your children or grandchildren (if you have a financial choice, that is). Sure, being surrounded by family sounds great, but we all need our privacy. They need theirs and you need yours. Even then, do so only if you feel you really need the help or do not want to live by yourself

Don't abandon your hobbies. If you don't have any, make new ones. You can travel, hike, cook, read, dance. You can adopt a cat or a dog, grow a kitchen garden, play cards, checkers, chess, dominoes, golf.

Try to get out of the house more, meet people you haven't seen in a while, experience something new (or something old). The important thing is to leave the house from time to time. Get out there.

Speak in courteous tones and try not to complain or criticize too much unless you really need to. Try to accept situations as they are.

Pains and discomfort go hand in hand with getting older. Try not to dwell on them but accept them as a part of life.

If you've been offended by someone – forgive them. If you've offended someone-apologize. Don't drag around resentment with you. It only serves to make you sad and bitter. It doesn't matter who was right. Someone once said: "Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die." Don't take that poison. Forgive, forget, and move on with your life.

Laugh. Laugh away your worries Remember, you are one of the lucky ones. You managed to have a life, a long one. Many never get to this age, never get to experience a full life.
My valued friends, enjoy peaceful life at this point in your life ...

Don't worry... be happy. 🥰

Down in Melbourne today, playing with this cool VW T6.1 from Achtung Camper, who are based in Geelong. Although there are only so many ways you can arrange things in a box, I’m always excited to see real innovation from fresh minds and this LWB camper has some unique features to go with its equally funky style.
