    Probably right, now that I've had time to calm down and get some good sleep.

    I was hoping for a mulligan on that one, but this outfit apparently isn't geared that way.

    I might have dodged a huge bullet by not getting the job.

    Missus Skillet is still making noise about dusting off her CDL and coming out here with me. I told her "put up or shut up."

    I don't make a lot of money here, but I have a lot of flexibility. I can cover my bills, with a bit extra.

    Never mind. I'm starting to ramble.

    This is always a crappy time of year to change jobs, so I guess I'll just have to mentally hunker down and suck it up, and stay off Indeed until after New Year's.

    I suppose I'd better get dressed, get some coffee, and get driving, if I want to get home by dinner time.

    Those O/O videos are good for someone considering buying a Truck. It’s all common sense simple math. Any O/O should have done the research before buying. The old vs. new argument for fuel cost vs. Truck payment for instance. 6 mpg vs. 8 mpg running 2500 miles a week. At $3.50 gal. equals $364 difference per week. $1092 for 3 weeks. $1456 for 4 weeks. A $3200 mo. payment is $800 a week. If only 3 weeks are worked, it’s $1066 per working week. The old Truck with no payment nets $1744 more per mo. working 4 weeks. $2106 more per mo. Working 3 weeks.

    That’s just bad Luck right there. I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii. It’s expensive. Somewhere like St Thomas, or anywhere similar will have to do. Wife’s worried about getting kidnapped in Mexico, Lol. Also doesn’t want to go on a Cruise. She thinks I’m going to toss her off the Ship in International waters. Too much TV!!

    I think the last driving test I took was when I was going to do hazard chemical tanker.

    When we got back to the yard, the dude was like," Set up anyway what you want and back in that spot." Well the entire front was open so I just pulled forward, and it was basically a strait back.

    He's like, " You are the only person that's ever done that. Some people mess around for 20 minutes trying to alley dock this."

    Guy's I'm losing Keri. Keri is moving (sorry I can't say where because her ex is stalking both of us online now). She had another close scare with one of her Exs friends last night and is leaving the area. I will have a visiting nurse coming by from time to time. Keri and I both have taken all social media private and that is that. When she is actually gone I will provide more information. Lurking Ex prevents me from going into detail.
