Almost Time

The last 2 days it's been warm and the grass is green and getting droed out. The boss said 1 more day and it should be dry enough to mow. This afternoon it started to rain so I guess we'll wait some more. I'm ready to earn a few bucks if the rain will cooperate. Nosense getting excited the mowing will last all summer.

On Again Off Again

I've been looking forward to the trip to Tulsa and tonight I find out it may be called off. You know, I don't get many pleasures out of life anymore but driving to Tulsa is one of them. Being a retired 18 wheeler I love to get out and see the country side. Since my wife passed away 8 years ago that hasn't been the fun it once was. My friend of 7 years helps pass the lonely days with conversation and movie going or shopping. Since my legs are getting worse the walking is really an effort but I can still handle a big rig. Sometimes it's just my winstar van and in the fall I haul corn for a local farmer with a semi rig. That's what it's all about is the road even if it's only 20 miles round trip 8 or 10 times a day for 39 days. But the trip to Tulsa is real road miles and I love every minute of it. The traffic in Des Moines, Kansas City, Joplin and Tulsa is all worth it. My friend says I'm to agressive and I should remember I'm not driveing a big rig now. I hope it doesn't get canceled because of some stupid idea somebody had.We'll see what happens.
