    I was doing dedicated, not for me, wait wait wait, then run like a raped ape all night. I'm too old for that stuff, it didnt pay enough either.
    Not sure what I'm up to next, have an offer to do deck work, may sell my truck?
    I'm in the Keys this week, few cold Stella's help me make my mind up... lol

    If I was in the Keys right now I'd turn the phone off forget about it and be soaking up some beach. The last thing I'd ever be wondering about is truckin but that's just me lol

    Too bad the wife needs to get back to work. That is what happens when a company reduces head count and those remaining responsible employees can’t enjoy a vacation . They worry too much about how much work there will be waiting on them when they return. I know I lived that life for years

    Enjoy your remaining vacation time.

    Well hope you and her are able to enjoy your retirement life together. I am thankful that I married a great woman who is my best friend too. Looking forward to our retirement time.
