    Blue 74

    It recently occurred to me that I haven't seen Paul (Blue 74) around for a very long time. I once had his email but think it might have been lost in my ransom hacking.

    I don't normally go to the dark side but with COVID still raging I do have a concern for him.

    Has anyone heard from him?

    Does anyone have his email?

    Thanks for the concern. I've been hanging out at my house in Nebraska doing small repairs and upgrades to my new to me fifth wheel. I bought a 2014 Keystone Cougar 337FLS to replace the Alfa. It was getting a little long in the tooth and took a lot to keep going. I'm getting ready to head back to Arizona and California for the winter in November. I didn't get back till May this year, help a friend move a 40' Teton triaxle to his campground, heavy pig.

    Last year I got the electrical moved underground and the 100 year old garage done for the pontoon storage. I've been doing a few things around the house and adding tools to the other garage. Lake McConaughy is only at 56% full so it's a pain to launch and load it by myself. Making an extension for the tongue to get the trailer farther into the water. Last year the season ended for me in mid-September.

    So most days I'm out in the garage doing some small project or watching TV. On the nice days I go fishing and boating. My dog has decided he doesn't like riding in the truck or going out on the boat, so he stays home. I'm going to go looking at a used ATV to take to Arizona to explore with, the knees and feet don't work so good anymore. I had cataract surgery this month so no more glasses except to read, maybe next year the knees. Hoping next year to do more upgrades around the house.

    Man it sounds like you're living the life. I don't know you very well and have not communicated with you wow seems like you got it all figured out. Enjoy yourself and enjoy your life.

    Cataract surgery made a world of difference to me, Paul...I'm sure it will for you...Even colors were brighter...When there's nothing on TV worth watching (which is 24/7), come visit us bozos...We're at least as entertaining as pro wrestling, and sometimes just as predictable......Ben

    I'm also wondering what became of Cactus Curt, and that wandering troubadour, Kevin?......Ben

    It appears that Curt hasn't been back since the day before we crashed. He may not know we're back.

    I suspect Kevin will be back in due time. I have learned a lot from Kevin over the years---and that is a good thing

    That it does, after multiple jobs for 13 years and literally living in a semi for 14 years I'm having fun.

    Ahhh... retirement. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. Wifey and I have discussed several times that we no longer have the time to work anymore.

    Same here. I don't know how I got anything done when I had to go to work every day.
