I can relate, Jon. You helped me on my 455HO build on jetting, still appreciate. Like you, I am Pontiacless now. I sold the Bird because it didn't fit my life as I age. Like yours, it was full tilt radical. If I do a Poncho again, it will be a more moderate 400, streetable and better mannered. My advice is focus on life and simplicity. I still am a personal trainer and recommend keeping active and in motion. I like helping the over 50/60/70 crowd and one might be surprised at fitness gains over 70. I just got an 82yo off a cane. I am 2 years past cancer TX and I look at life differently now. Simplicity and stress reduction and energy rationing are key. I wish you well in your new approach. Keep active and find joy in the simple things.
