    There was a guy in orientation that was 74. Been trucking 54 years. And a lady was coming back after a little over a year of retirement, it's her 4th return to Creaffer, so you have options. Between the 3 of us, combined we had over a century of experience.

    i ain’t gonna lie…i personally think the old Walmart logos look better. Maybe it’s just due to nostalgia though IMG_4931.jpeg IMG_4934.jpeg

    Sounds like the pre 2020 system. I split all the time but almost always 2/8 or 3/7.

    The second you feel like un-retiring, you need to come hang out with me. We have 11 lakes, 9 golf courses, lawn bowling, tennis, pickleball, basketball, bridge clubs, bingo clubs, cribbage clubs, we bring in national acts (concerts), the symphony, etc… here in Hot Springs Village. And, I save the best for last, I just happen to know the whereabouts of some properly aged Kentuckians! And, while I don't partake, I can also hook you up with a most premium Cuban SEEGAR. :)

    One week hanging out with old Frank and you’ll forget all thoughts of going back to…. Ugggg, I can’t even bring myself to utter the word.

    Trailer is still in the shop. The wiring harness that comes up the hollow corner frame had an issue inside. They are having a hard time getting the new wires to feed back down to where it connects underneath. A brief discussion with the guy working on it and he sounded like me after I have another bad day behind the wheel. He didn't say it, but I am pretty sure they exhausted all the 4 letter names they knew to call it to make it comply, and none of them did the trick...

    Oh, and I was way off about how much my wife's prescriptions cost without insurance. Her monthly Ozempic script is $1300 without insurance. Her Dexcom glucose monitor script, $700 for a 3 month supply without it (which is $230/mo).

    You try getting the dexcom at Costco? I pay about 178-180 for a month of them. 1 every ten days.

    Big Pharma hates me though...I don't spend one penny on their high priced, side effect products.
