Thought this might be a useful thread.  Dumb tricks we've learned that can actually be pretty useful.  Here's one I stumbled on along the way.  :)

Not from the south but western Pennsylvania.  But I do get some sun for about eight months a year, spending a few days a week in the sun at road race tracks between New York and North Carolina.  I teach motorcycle road racing techniques and as a result, between classroom and on track sessions we wind up with a fair amount of sun exposure.  At 64 I'm cutting back on the teaching mainly due to the grind of the weekly travel.  Plus, I'm about ready for some equipment replacement and not sure I want to spend that much as it's a commitment for another five years or so.  This was my fun retirement job for the last nine years and I don't see doing another five at the pace I've done, about seventy to eighty classes a year.
