    With the high price of fuel.

    Shiner has some good brews; bock, Oktoberfest, black label, lots of fruit flavored ones also(I don’t care for fruit beers no matter who’s).

    If I was in Midland with nothing to do I’d head for Marfa. I had a heck of a weekend there one night when we got to town a day early to load cattle.

    Yor correct, Not quitting, just taking a break and making a needed change at the same time. I have few bills and the truck is long ago paid for. No need to do a job I dont like, for less than it's worth.
    I'm probably back to deck work in April sometime, as I said I have a standing offer, but we will see after a couple weeks on a beach. Was just wondering if anyone else was going to use this time to make a change also?

    Same here. Got a new DOT number. After I leave my lease-on and before I put down the insurance money, etc. will be the ideal time to chill out and let the brokers catch up. Looking forward to a couple home improvement projects and glad I saved just enough to take some time off.

    It’s a thought worth pondering…..at the rate fuel is rising, freight rates are (whatever), and if you have a breakdown with the current parts supply availability, one might not be able to afford that beer. (We ran out yesterday and the delivery truck hasn’t come yet). I’ll just see you at the beach, I’ll bring the beer!

    Well, I'm taking my truck to the shop on days I'm not working. Maybe not the best time to empty your wallet. But when rates are up, I'm better off running than taking time off to fix things around.
