AMEN TO THAT!!! When Edie had cancer back in '01, if we didn't have insurance, I'd still be paying that off half way through my next life. She had been one of them there "work-aholics" too. Although, after we met and she started driving truck with me, it wouldn't work out well to try having one job driving OTR, and standing at a cash register or screen printing at the same time. Since the cancer, she's tried several things, but needs the "ladies room" within 6 feet of her work station. And, it can not be occupied when she has to go. Really puts the cramps on a lot of the things she used to do.

If she had not gotten a DUI, we'd most likely still be out there running "super-single". At this point, she's been off the road for 4 years, and we all know what that means. So, she's keeping busy with her crafts, and I'm collecting my SS. That and fixing lawn mowers. The oil in the gulf hasn't gotten to my fishing holes yet. But, it seems that some of the bigger fish have come much closer to shore because of it. Hooked a marlin or swordfish the other day, and didn't have the tackle to keep it. Only got one look at it when it cleared the water and broke the line.

There comes a time when we all deserve to enjoy what we want, rather than do "what we have to".

I am sorry to hear about your surgery, Roses. I hope you heal quickly. Perhaps you could do team and have your codriver do the pulling on the fifth wheel.

Well that's just sad that they're all gone. Shykatt you'll get out here someday. You still have the horses?

I hate to see the women leave. Perhaps some of you could invite some of your female friends to join us and provide some variety. It would be good to have a different perspective sometimes.

Yep, kept a few horses,sold the rest; thats my other reason for not trucking yet, the nags wont all fit in the truck lol. I put my training business on hold, I'm working FT, (but I do still train a little on the side,) .....coz wild horses can't drag me away from the other horses, lol
