    Thank you very much! Wife getting better, I’m still feeling pretty rough. I don’t let feeling bad stop me though. We’re heading out in the morning for Green Bay area and from there not sure yet. I was surprised at how many people at Crete actually care about other drivers. I’m not used to this and it’s nice to see.

    You mean that people at SCHN didn't care about drivers? I guess it depends on which of their numerous OC's you're based at.
     
    Cherokee65 Thanks this.

    This is still the honeymoon phase. Let's hope they are still this way 6 month's from now.

    Cherokee65,
    How are you and the Mrs. doing? Are you both feeling any better? I hope so. How are things going so far for you? I am used to your posts and it's been almost a week since your last post. I was just curious as to how you are progressing along with your new gig. Take care and keep us informed as "curious minds" want to know. Be safe.

    Things going pretty good so far. Thank you for asking! As someone mentioned it is still the honeymoon phase. I’m having to get used to a truck that is set up completely different as “Myrtle” was set up and has 1/2 the batteries. I still need to wash my truck before I put up pictures of it. I’ll be doing a 34 very soon. We’re at the Mechanicsburg PA terminal right now. We’ve already had a run in with someone who obviously has some mental issues and has a very bad attitude. I’ve found that it’s best to just let God deal with them.

    Waiting to get my wipers fixed and was told for the next 60 days that I’d have a driver facing camera in my truck. I’m not looking forward to the camera just due to the fact Ms Cherokee is diabetic and has to get up while we’re moving to get her meter, glucose and whatever else she needs. She’s also on Jardiance so that’s a concern for us too. I don’t know what they allow and getting ahold of safety to find out is practically impossible, it seems.

    Good luck to you my friend. Sounds like you are settling into the groove. The camera thing will go away soon enough don't let it bother you. Enjoy the "honeymoon phase" as it will get better from here on. Happy trails to you both. I'm enjoying your adventures from the comfort of my rv here in warm and sunny Florida. I'm not rubbing it in but I had my 44 year career and now I enjoy talking with everyone that is doing their thing. Take care, be safe and healthy to you both.
     
    Friend, austinmike, Cherokee65 and 5 others Thank this.
