On Schedule With One More Day to go

 

Yes we have fun when we travel and work. These are two of our friends we work with having fun eating out and site seeing.

Wow! It is time to get up again! We don't even need an alarm anymore. I just wake up on my own without the alarm...which really makes me mad. I would rather wake up with the alarm because it goes off at the time I want to get up...my internal alarm goes off some times 15 minutes before time. I can't go back to sleep when I wake up so I just lay there and wait for the alarm to go off.

I know I have not been posting every day as I once was but we have been busy traveling from town to town working and I am either too tired or we don't have a signal where we are parked. This is aggravating to say the least but when you move around you will find out that you don't always have a good signal...the being too tired...well that will be straightened out as soon as we stop working all the time.

Some of you have asked what kind of a job we have that allows us to travel around. We work for a Marketing group. We are Re-set Specialist and we go into stores and reset shelves to promote sales of products that have been slow sellers. We usually stay in the same town for one week and then travel to the next town and start over. We work on the average of 32 hours a week. Lately we have been working 40 hours due to the work load that accumulated last year and has just now been unloaded on us for this year. We will probably be working these kind of hours for some time until we catch up.

These are my boys...Just wanted to show everyone how great they are. I hope they read this one day and remember me as a Poppa that loved them very much.

We chose to do this type of work for a short time rather than work camping which holds you in one spot for an indefinite time. Now I am not talking down work camping by an means...just saying we decided to strengthen our retirement fund doing this rather than trading work for a campsite. You get the same thing just in a different way.

OK that being said we have to leave here tomorrow and head for our next assignment. We will be staying at our lake lot and working in Terrell. This will allow us to enjoy our home and we can eat some home cooking at the same time. Well we will have to weigh this out with the cost of groceries vs eating out. Sometimes as you well know...you can eat out cheaper than you can buy groceries for a meal at home. Another thing is if you don't eat all your groceries they may spoil in the weeks your on the road.

Got to go and shower...watch a little TV...slip between the cool sheets and close my tired eyes. Dream of places far far away in the mountains with cold spring water flowing down a stream filled with rainbow trout and me knee deep in water fly fishing...and all this...
