So the bills outlasted the retirement funds. and I started working at the local Pilot Flying J in the deli but standing on my feet for 8+ hours a day won't work. So I'm heading to Salome, AZ to a friends RV site and a free RV hookup. It's about 1.5 hours west of Phoenix over in the Quartzsite area. I'm heading to Swift Monday and see what hoops I'll have to jump through to get rehired. I won't go for the newbie's starting pay. If not I'll walk next door and see what Winco has to offer, several of the drivers I worked with jumped ship when the contract was redone.

One of the problems I have is needing to be able to take my dog, sure can't leave him at home all alone. I figure in two years the bills are gone and more money in the bank for the next retirement. I joked with a driver manager that I had worked with that I was going to wear my million mile hat and ring and my 10 year watch when I went in. He said to do it, it just my impress them.
