Another Milestone Today? Maybe!

I'm a little stoked and probably premature with this post, but what the heck.  Who knows when I'll put something up again, right?  I am killing time this morning because I'm an early riser and don't have to be where I am going for another 4 hours, if even at all.  I can back out.  But I won't.

I have an appointment to see -- and drive -- a new (to me) truck.  STS is on the verge of DOUBLING it's fleet!  Yes, I know.  Perhaps I exaggerate a bit.  Everybody has two cars anymore.  But this is a very big deal to me.  Perhaps the biggest thing -- a NEGATIVE -- is that I will have a truck payment.  But the flip side to that is I will also have more income because this is definitely a work truck.

The faithful readers here will instantly ask, "But who's going to drive your new work truck since you can't be both 'driver' and 'office boy'?"  Herein lies the real motivator for me.  My oldest son has expressed an interest in doing what I do.  I think he's getting tired of living in an apartment the size of a closet and living off PBJs.  My present truck has a lot of miles on it -- almost 500K -- and though still very reliable (A/C blows ice cubes too) is at a point where semi-retirement is a better idea than an everyday workhorse.

So I'm off to see a new Dodge Ram.
