The end of an era (personal)

Today I went to the notary to get form oce-46 notarized. It's one of two documents I have to submit to the federal government to shut down my business. Even though I haven't trucked in a year and 7 months it kinda bums me out to formalize it. Fourty-five years, where did the time go!? 
I dropped my insurance to the bare minimum to keep my authority active thinking I'd get back to work ($483/month) but I can see that's not going to happen. Oh well, at least I'll not have that drain on my bank account now.
I've put 70k into building what I consider the ultimate money making truck and it only has 85k miles on a $30,000 factory crate motor as well as maybe 600,000 miles on the strongest 13 speed transmission ever built. Not that it hasn't paid for itself but I doubt I could get $20,000 for it in today's market, probably 5k at auction. I'll have a close friend and the best old truck mechanic try to sell it for me, he knows the tractor inside and out.
The Shooter's Apprentice considered buying it but I  built it to lower 48 highway standards and upgrading it to Alaskan standards would be too costly.
