There cannot be any more of a rough time to down size than an instance like you are having to go through flashed.. so sorry for you losing your wife .. take your time and just know you have friends here on the forum to share words with anytime for any comfort we can give you .. 25 years 81 Trans Am ,,you should have no problem selling this car ,I would think ..

The adjustment of routine and place has been rough on me. After being on the same place so many years, it hard to "turn your back and walk away." We don't plan to sell the "home" place, so at least I can go out, let my dog run, and drive thru the pasture and look at my neighbors cattle who has it rented. Soo, I guess we can suffer together long distance.
Sounds like a good plan to get that old truck and load your tools on it and have it handy .. there is nothing like a acreage place to store stuff at compared to the flat land street homes with the small back yard .. Bet your dog loves going back to the old stomping grounds too. ..
