Too stale to train

If a lease operator is grossing $120,000, he's in deep trouble.

 

Team linehaul.

 

I prefer growth stocks also. But the div paying, boring stocks usually win in the long term. Compounding interest.

Its good to have both.

 

The trash guys here are on the sandbar are similar. Easy gig. All their work is done from the truck cab. No getting out, or touching trash. Push some levers, push another, move to next can. They do start early, but they also finish up early.

Can't speak for the OP an his hurricanes...but it happens here. Hatteras will get rocked, meanwhile Nags Head will see some flooding and someone will lose siding. When Sandy passed through the sound side of the sandbar got wrecked. Ocean side...hardly any damage, flooding, etc. Same with Ocracoke last year. They got hit so hard it took them almost a year to rebuild and re-open. Meanwhile...Hatteras got flooding, an slight damage to some buildings. Road got washed out but that happens with any big storm not just hurricanes/tropical storms.

Another example would be the tropical storm/hurricane we had earlier this year...where I was in Nags Head got very little rain. Kitty Hawk 15 miles up the road got drenched.

Mother Nature can be weird. Just look at tornadoes. 3 houses can get destroyed out of a row of 5. Other two don't even get touched.

I've learned living here on a sandbar....mother nature does what she wants, where she wants, when she wants. There is no explaining her actions.

To the OP - Good luck, whenever/if you decide to do the driving thing.

Sirscrapntruckalot - We don't like Jim Cantore here. Seriously. They really don't like him down around Hatteras.

 

I live in the desert; no hurricanes or forest fires. I'm on high ground, so no flooding; very little rainfall in the desert.

 

Lived in one myself, right next to you in AZ.

An we did have a wildfire.

Mt. Lemmon. Back in...2003 I think.

One of my favorite memories living in Tucson is when one of neighbors came running through the common area of our apartments banging on door and warning people about the hurricane coming our way. It makes me laugh every time I think about it.

Crazy Neighbor - "A hurricane is coming man! We gotta board everything up, get the cars to high ground. Stock up on food and stuff. It's a hurricane! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

Me - "err...You know, 1. We're in the middle of a valley, surrounded by mountains. 2. It's a desert. No need to worry about storm surge. 3. It may tain, and get a tad windy, but not you know...hurricane force winds..4. It's in the gulf Mexico and has to cross over a massive area with no water, which is a big part of what gives a hurricane it's strength.."

Crazy guy again " Dude...it's a hurricane! It's coming here"

Me - "Your an idiot. I'm going to get more beer.".

Other than a dust devil, and sand storms, yea.. that area of the sw is pretty calm.

Hurricanes cant even reach Austin from the gulf. Lol

 

Pretty sure he was a few beers shy of a 6 pack in his head. Either way...It gave me a good laugh. Especially considering where I call home now.

I wonder if his village ever found him...

What kind of shoulder surgery did you have? I just had rotator cuff surgery on August 24th, and realistically, I probably won't be back to work until December. Six weeks in a sling, and then lots of rehab. The shoulder is a complex joint, and the surgery (at least mine) takes 4-6 months to properly heal from.
