Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Oh the joys of being underway and the awesome internet connections we have while we are, sorry if someone would like to delete two of these it'd be fine by me. sorry for the multiple inputs I promise I am not that desperate to know wither or not Abilene goes to WA.

 

I think @RebelChick jinxed me... Again!!!

Guess who was driving north in the rain after his last drop in Florida and had the drivers side wiper fall apart and lost the little piece that connects to the arm? Yeah... ME!!!

So I stopped at the nearest P/FJ and got a replacement and hit the road with an awesome new wiper blade that actually works and much better than the old one ever did.

Then, three hours later, about to cross into GA and, you guessed it, the passenger side blade came loose and totally flew off the darn truck... LOL

So, I hit the first P/FJ in GA and completed the set... Ok, so I should be good one wipers for the winter... If only my defrost worked... Yes, heading to Richmond today so I will take it out of commission until that gets fixed. Too close to winter for Heat/Defrost to be acting up.

Stay Safe,
MD

 

So I hear you would like to go to the WA area eh... lol

 

Well not forever, when I retire we are going to use our Navy "MOVE" mid year 2016 to move to PA, and PA is a cold place to move to in Dec. so i wanted to be able to go out there and see my wife from time to time until then. She's used to me being gone for the Navy, so long periods out won't be an issue. But I don't want the dogs to forget who I am... LOL

 

Well, I'm about to pull in to port for the last time ever with the US Navy, I am both excited and a little nervous at the same time. This has definitely been an adventure with ups and downs as any other job has but the security is what I will miss the most and the people, not so much the Navy per say.

I will retire in mid Dec. and officially Feb. 29th of 2016, I am ready to start growing my beard and a pony tail hehe, no pony tail I can't stand my hair touching my ears so I doubt that will ever happen...LOL

But in all seriousness I hope if I qualify to be joining the ranks at Abilene, and it is thanks to you folks JohnBoy, ScooterDog, Macdaddy, that I feel this is where I want to try.

 

I had that happen to me in Idaho Falls. Turned on the wipers and the drivers side came up and kept on going.....

 

Thank you for your years of service.

 

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

It's been an interesting day for me. Got a load to Coppell TX and while headed down I-81 near Wytheville, passed a slow car, which then sped up and passed me. Wouldn't be strange except the guy driving it was totally naked with just a towel over his lap. He kept trying to get my attention and yes I did look, but thank heavens my peripheral vision is good and I had my sunglasses on! He proceeded to slow again and I passed him. Again he comes around and this time he had put a sign in his window to honk if I wanted to see him naked. I suppose I should've just to see what he'd do, but I just wanted to get down the road. Never had anything like that happen before. Hope never again either.
