    Ya, our local Publix was torn down to the ground and rebuilt... very nice store but it cost so much more to shop there. Guess they are aiming at the higher class folks, or recouping their investments in those fancy new freezers... ;-)

    Using Lisbon as our base. Going to Porto, Sinatra, and a bunch of other places.

    I always love these things.

    "Former Star Trek actress" means, in this case, someone who never once had a speaking part in any Star Trek show or movie, but was brought in occasionally when they needed a warm body.

    Like the news article I saw with the headline about "NFL Owner says..." and then you find out it's just some random dude who owns two shares of stock in the Green Bay Packers.

    If you get a chance try to visit the island of Madeira and if you are staying on the main land, make sure to visit Algarve. Hope you have a great vacation

    So you think it's just all scare mongering? because they make trucking sound very unpleasant these days. I'm really on the fence about doing it.

    I’ve had my CDL for 22 years, this industry has gone through several changes over the years. I’m making more money now, than I ever have.

    Well I might take SNI up on their offer to start out. I noticed you're in SC. Good state? I've thought about moving there.

    You see @JohnBoy 's post about making $86k last year?

    He did that with electronic logs.

    $86k sound unpleasant to you?
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy and JohnBoy Thank this.
