2018 has been giving me quite a ride so far. Stranded in Corpus Christi a full day. More winter weather in one day than in the past three years. This week I had to go back to my former temp agency to fill an emergency run for a client that likes me too well. I… Continue reading I Took a Half Step Backwards This Week

And Yet Another Crazy Week Was Endured
I kept reminding myself I moved to Texas to get away from winter weather. It still finds me ocassionally just the same. I went to work Tuesday expecting to drive to Shreveport. I was informed that trip was cancelled when I tried to pick up the paperwork for it. My dispatcher said there was a… Continue reading And Yet Another Crazy Week Was Endured
The First Week of 2018 was Eventful
2017 went out with a blast and 2018 came in with a blast of cold air plus some interesting things I never saw coming. On New Years Eve I accepted a driving assignment to Corpus Christi, Texas. It began at 9:30 PM. That all seemed innocent enough and it was. The tractor I was given… Continue reading The First Week of 2018 was Eventful
A Christmas Medley for Y’all
I didn’t know what I was going to post for Christmas this year. This was important since I usually send out a new post on Monday morning and Christmas falls on a Monday. While driving to Lubbock this week I experienced both kinds of snow…falling snow on the way into Lubbock Friday, and fallen snow… Continue reading A Christmas Medley for Y’all
My Month as Santa’s Helper
December 2017 will go down as the month I got to live out a life goal. I spent this past month helping Santa deliver cards, letters and packages between Dallas and Lubbock. So, I guess I can check this off my bucket list. As of the writing of this post I still have a week… Continue reading My Month as Santa’s Helper

Stress is Spelled M-Y L-I-F-E
Thursday I drove from Ft Worth to Amarillo. I’ve done it several times and lived to tell about it. So, what made it so different this time? It was 86 degrees when I left Thursday afternoon. On Friday morning it was 38 degrees. Being a native Michigander I knew enough to check the forecast before… Continue reading Stress is Spelled M-Y L-I-F-E
The 2017 Stonebriar Men’s Retreat Report
I just got back from another relaxing weekend on the banks of Lake Palestine near Flint, Texas. This country bumpkin always needs this time in the country to recharge my batteries. Unfortunately I had to work Thursday so I couldn’t go out with the advance team for the retreat. Les Fleetwood is a Canadian so… Continue reading The 2017 Stonebriar Men’s Retreat Report
Oh Be Careful Where You Go
Here’s a surprise midweek blog post for y’all to contemplate. Why a midweek post? You ask. Because my life is so crazy hectic I don’t always have time to write before my self-imposed deadline and/or I don’t have anything to write about. Well, Monday, while in Amarillo, an experience was lived through that makes for… Continue reading Oh Be Careful Where You Go
Do You Pray For Storms to Pass?
I don’t know how things are in your neck of the woods, but here in Texas we’ve been getting a LOT of rain lately. One of the things I like about living in this day and age is the ability to see where the rain is falling at any given time. I have this app… Continue reading Do You Pray For Storms to Pass?
