There is a difference between a yearly "wellness visit" and a physical. https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/yearly-wellness-visits "If you’ve had Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)for longer than 12 months, you can get a yearly “Wellness” visit to develop or update your personalized plan to help prevent disease and disability, based on your current health and risk factors. The yearly “Wellness” visit isn’t a physical exam."

Do it, and dont look back.

AGM to Lithium conversion video

Yes, when the lead acid batteries expire, I will probably add another 300 amp hour Zooms LiFePo4 battery, and then combine the systems. -

No, they are completely separate. -

I run my 12 volt system runs off of the four lead acid golf cart batteries. I run my 2000 watt inverter off of the 300 amp hour Zooms LiFePo4 battery. My golf cart batteries can be charges by the alternator, the PD9260 converter/charger, which can run off of shore power, the generator, or the inverter, and I also have a 10 amp Trik-L-Start device connected from the Zooms battery to the golf cart batteries. The Zooms battery can be charged by my 600 watts of solar, or the 30 amp LiFePo4 battery charger I have connected to them. -

When I upgraded to lithium iron phosphate, my lead acid ones were still in pretty good shape, so I just incorporated them into my system. My solar keeps the LiFE Po4 battery charged, and my LiFe Po4 battery keeps the lead acid ones charged. -
Missing couple in motorhome, thought to be in Nevada

From what I read the wife said that they didnt believe they were in any danger until the car got stuck. -

That location makes no sense. I read that they found them by Silver Peak. Looks like their gps had them turn off SR 95 at 265 down to Silver Peak and then east and would come back to SR95 just north of Goldfield. -

I believe it is in this video on youtube. Nephew of Indiana couple found in Nevada shares details of their ordeal - YouTube -

You should read or listen to the wife talking about taking this road. They were not concerned because even though the road was rough gravel, and the toad bounced around a lot they said they saw other vehicles on this road which diminished their concern. Again, they simply did not recognize the risk they were taking until it was too late. -

One thing that the wife made clear after she was rescued was that they didnt recognize the seriousness of their predicament until the car got stuck, that is why they didnt bring any food for water with them from the motorhome. They thought that they could just drive back down the mountain and get help, so no need to bring food and water. -

From what I have read and heard is that they didnt realize the seriousness of their situation until it was too late, but it was just another case of blindly following their gps without knowing the route it would take them. -
It is not that complicated. If oil companies still had 880 oil well drilling rigs operating through the two month pandemic shutdown and beyond, there would be no oil shortages and the subsequent high fuel prices.

But you didnt mention how we got here. From November 2019 to August 2020 the number of oil drilling rigs operating in the USA dropped by over 700 from about 880 in November 2019 to only about 150 in August 2020. You cant produce oil if you are not drilling for it. Fortunately, the number if oil drilling rigs in the USA is back up over 500 and climbing, but just not fast enough as oil companies are returning much of the new huge profits to shareholders in the form of dividends instead of drilling for more oil.
