    Next year is my last year of celebration. 70 is enough for me.

    Well i come back after my 12 days off and away i go. Until yesterday when the rear suspension decides to stop working. So today I go to the Hampton Inn for 2 days and my truck goes to Ryder. I've already been warned if it needs too many parts it will be a long wait and once again I will be moving into a Navicrap LT...fortunately it is only until December.

    Have you considered the possibility of early retirement?

    I work for health insurance for my wife. She turns 65 next Jan 3rd and goes on mandatory Medicare with me. So I'm retiring for Christmas.. close enough for me.

    Nice to hear I’m not the only one working for insurance until my wife turns 65. July she turns 63. 2 more years and I’ll be done.

    Well the truck is in the shop. Hoping they can fix it. I got a peek at the LTs that are available and they are the short sleeper ones. The bed is up against the back of the seats. I told my boss I would not drive them and would go home and wait for a real truck. He agreed with me. Hoping we can work this out.
