    when i first started? it was like about 3 months. and i swore it'll never, ever be that much any more, and it never was.

    my life is what i live for, not some job. and i stood by that for 48 years.

    When you was out that long did you sleep every night in the truck or hotel room?

    Was this told to you when hired that you would be out months and months at a time?

    I would not accept staying out for even a month. I’ve got cats at home and that would not work for me.
