Have been on the road for 2 months the journey started with me traveling from Houston Texas to Dodge City Kansas was there for a few weeks then my phone rang, can you go to St Paul Minnesota..sure, get there for a couple weeks, phone rings again can you please go to Pine Bend Minnesota...sure, there for a couple weeks, then the phone rings again, can you go to Sergeant Bluff Iowa for week...sure so was there for a week, then the phone rings again, can you go to Wever Iowa for 2 to 3 weeks? So here I am... And all these jobs are nightshift 6 pm to 6:30 a.m. and just think I am an early bird normally waking up at 4 a.m., what is the old saying "someone has to do it"

Passed Eddyville they had a good crowd there...Do I have time to stop? Of course not...the way my luck runs.

Living out of motels and suitcases is getting old quick. But hey I am blessed and glad to help them out no matter where they need me

Semi retirement is a test to see if you have enough time to fully retire.
