    Dang right it is....the only reason I retired at 62 was I wanted to have a few years to do nothing but deer hunt and fish a little...

    Started driving at 51 ten monghs ago after being in the same job for 25 years. No problem with the work. My big problem is I have the patience of of a ten year old in dealing with some of these people out here.

    Lets see, I went to tech school in my mid 20's, went into the Army at 35, and started driving truck at 40.... I wished I would have started at 37... I'm in for life.... Lord willing that is..
