The best I can figure it will be early Augest when I am actually back in the truck and trying to do some-thing. It's best to quit over here on or just after your start date anniversary due to the tax laws. I could take my last vacation in the middle of July (it's 3 weeks) and then fly back to Dubai and quit after the 1st of the month if I wanted to ..

Guess I'LL haft to wait n see how involved this out of frame on the Cat will be before I can make too many predicitions about my quitting date .. I do have a nice Christmas Suprize for my wife though. I bought a Southern Carribean 7 night cruise for us for the next vacation in April. It starts in Miami n goes to Puerto Rico--St Thomas--Miami ..

I usually do 1 cruise a year but it's been over 3 years now since I did the last 1. Doing this cruize will set me up for the last 3 months over here and then I'LL be ready to dive back into the truck full time..

Sorry to hear that you will be out for the holiday though. I did a lot of that back years ago. Christmas was kind'a rough out on the road but the other holidays were a breeze..

Have fun on the cruise. Take a cab in St. Thomas down to Meagans Bay. It's rated the most beautiful beach in the world. If you go down there you'll realize why pirates and everyone else stopped there. Complete coverage from the elements and a good place to hide!

Not much to do in San Juan other than walk around the old city.

You sound like a seasoned cruiser so I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir.

Just a note in case your not aware. If you or someone else gets a little sea sick the quickest cure is a shot of clear alcohol like Tequila or Vodka.

In my personal experiences the only thing Tequila is good for is if you want to wake up on the bathroom floor and wonder what the hell happened to ya. ops:

I tried to send a PM to see if you wanted to go inside and get some grub... That's one of the better places to eat. I think I forgot to put something in the subject header, so it never went out...

All the Burns Bros. are gone also. The one at Exit 17 is a T/A, Wilsonville is a shopping center.

The Krueger location is now a mini mart and behind it where the truck parking was, is a large RV dealership.

I wonder if Ol'Steve would like it if jumped in the car ran over to Jubitz and said howdy . Since I am home til after the new year.
Please dont tell me you live in Portland..... :sad: :sad: , I guess we will need to pick a different part of OR to live then. I didnt think any jerks lived in Portlnd but I guess I am wrong :cry:

Sad, sad, sad.... more hate filled responses from a dweller.


BTW .... how many residences/jobs in the past year have you had ???? From prior posts it appears to be quite a few. Why is that ??? Is it the $1.00 per mile freight you supposedly haul????

First off we dont haul 1.00 mile freight, I have no idea what gave you that idea.

We lived in OR for about a year while driving with Arrow (was there for 4 years) then got the bright idea to buy a house in OK. Well the house was an investment and was bought for that reason. The house sold for a NICE profit. So on to NC which was my dream because it is on the East coast close to family and all. Bo hated it there soooo back to OR and that is where HE will stay.....the jury is still out for me.

As far as jobs well Arrow, then our truck. Right now driving someone elses truck all the O/O headaches were not for me. Bo on the other hand still wants to fulfill that dream and one day he.....I just dont know if I will be around or not....that remains to be seen.

I cant say what the truck averages on here but it is WAY more than a dollar a mile.

No I do not hate you....I just dislike you and your "I wanna be like Rev attitude" No one can be an ass like Rev can....he is one of a kind and no one on this board will ever be just like Rev. At least when Rev attacks he has the right info most of the time.

Rev....that was not meant to be mean.
