Its very important for all most all workers to have a avocation, hobby,diversification, what ever the term used to take one away from the every day repetitive grind & wearing down that is ones job. Doctors to street cleaners. Kind of a break to refresh. From very close to page one I guessed that this was your pick for just such a challenge & change. Kind of get your self involved in a rather large challenge that also would have a rewarding side benifet . Of being able to enjoy the final fruits of you labor. To get out there somewhere where you & your family could enjoy your time off, maybe somewhere you 'all have never been. knowing once you were finished, as far as you were con serened, "No stone was left unturned", it was put back together the way it should have been in the first place.Time has a way of closing the gap from the beginning to the end that we sometime do not pay that much attention too. In other words," we are not getting any younger". So Trucker, do not let that drudgery of work coupled with time, both out there on the road, and in that unfinished framing out there in your yard, shake you from the original picture you had, there is 94 pages of pertisipants wishing & urging you towards that day when............Well,,,,from here I certainly can hear & see that champain bottle crashing against that front bumper.
Hello Trucker,
Took Hoace Greeley advise and went camping way out west for three wheeks, only got WI-Fi in a couple of places, thus my bref earlier post.
I like skimask thoughts and for sure his inputs. My wife shortly out of HS went to work for Bendix. Several month into this employment, Bendix pick several for a psych. test then sending a small groop to a school, then to an extended school for a small few out of these, sodering wires and asseb. looms for clasified aircraft. from what I had done building Heath Kits many moon's ago, then what she passed on to me from what they tought her...Well like I said to you earlier, there are right ways & wrong ways to do just about every thing. Also as I said earlier, (and intresting what my wife just said) there are as many ways as doing thing the wrong way as ther are indivigals that seem to live by this code saying, "Aw, thats good enougf,just let it go", when rairly it is. No blame here, it just takes all kinds to make up this world. That is why she said Bendix had a psych. test.
Oh, one more thing on drivers, My father (over the road trucker) tought me lots of years back, that when the 18 wheelers are struggling to pass you, that stack billering and a roaring in a hard pull, and as traffic is building behind him. He has to see you in his right cab mirror to get back into your lane. Reach down and grab your light switch when he clears you and turn you head lights on & off signaling him that its ok he has cleared & it is safe to cut back into your lane. Here is the point that was made earlier----A older trucker NEVER, NEVER FAILS to say thank you, he will ALWAYS blink his rigs back light many times to thank you and to acknoladge your kindness. But you know, on this trip..... those older road knights are getting fewer, as a lot did not blink there lights back to me. Probabley never knew why my lights were going of & then on several times.
