 Two more years and I will retire.  There are several things I must do to acheive that.  I have changed from being a trainer to being a team driver.  Hopefully there will be enough revenue generated by that to pay everything off and get the trailer I want.  I also hope that I do not age much more.  Getting older is okay, but aging hurts a lot.


I have a good chance to buy a small piece of land, and if that happens then I may just buy a nice single wide and use my pick up to pull the utility trailer and camp in a tent and go see places on the bike.  That is a possibility.   

My diabetes is well under control, I am still losing weight, not as fast but still losing weight.  The 38 inch pants that I was gifted by the great and mighty Gallupe are loose on me.  He did send three pairs of 36 inch pants too, but I have about 30 more pounds before I get into those.  Thinking I will need my suspenders for the 38's soon though.  

The folks renting to buy my house may be actually buying it soon.  That will give me an additional $250 or so a month to apply to bills that need paying off before I retire.   

I visited with my friends at the Goldthwaite TX senior center at the end of Febuary.  I played bingo one week and had lunch the next week.  I really miss working there, and when I retire I will be there a lot.  Texas is not a bad place to spend the winter, it gets cold but not for long.  Those folks are a great bunch and they are growing in size every month.  Billie is doing a great job there.

Well that is about it for this post.  There may be some interesting videos coming. Working on doing an interview with a new driver and me (the old driver).  That should be a lot of fun.  I am also going to work at finishing my book on truck driving.  It started as a how to do it and became a comic way of looking at the expierences that I have had over 23 years.   In April I will have been driving truck for four years longer than I was in the Air Force.

Thanks for reading

Last thought I am going to reunite with good old Clyde in about a month or so.  He may or may not be pissed at me, I have been enjoying warm weather and he has been stuck in a barn in Wisconsin for three years.
