    Good job on the retirement Frank. I’m a couple of years from that too and counting down the months.

    Never really had privilege to know ye, but always appreciated the wit & humor you always provided when I had rare chances to check back in here.

    So, now you are colored. Duly noted....

    Congratulations! Enjoy that boat & the golf course. Very well deserved for a class act guy.

    Forgot to ask. Are they still hiring.....?

    You know, I can’t really put my finger on any one thing. I can say that, taking family out of the equation, my OTR days were the most fun. Also, I got to see a lot of beautiful places that I would, otherwise, not been able to see.

    That’s great! So many folks slave away in a factory, dreaming of retiring and finally getting to travel. Trucking definitely has its advantages. I’ve got a few more years at it. Looking forward to work being an option instead of a requirement. Big stress reducer I’m told. Simple little fishing boat sounds like a good place to start. Congratulations.
