We filled up at Wal-Mart for $2.52/gal with the 3 cent discount on the gift card. I took the wife to Orlando airport to take trip to Houston via Dallas. It is the Houston International Quilt show, and she will be with our daughter-in-law and her parents who have a booth (quilt shop). She will be helping run the booth when she isn't drooling at the cool quilts of all shapes and venues from traditional to the fiber art ones she loves soo much. (I degress) Seems the oil prices are allowed to rise to line the pockets of the "shareholders" and to heck with the economy. If we could freeze the price on the barrel and the price at the pump during this "worldwide" meltdown of the economy, perhaps it would put more $$ back into our economy and at least produce a soft landing for the working and retired class. Putting $ billions into the banks and Wall street does nothing for me. Put it in my paycheck. I guess I am a socialist, I receive my retirement from the federal government (OPM). I guess that makes everyone who is retired city, state, and federal x-employees socialists. GEE! About your back problems, every ten pounds extra of belly produces something in the area of an extra 2000 lbs/sq in on the spine. My personal "dunlap" is at least 15 pounds and my lower back complains too. It is just so damn hard to lose weight around the middle and keep it off. I managed to lose 20 lbs about a year ago, but it snuck back on when I wasn't looking. I am approaching 65 in March and it is getting more difficult with the years. Less input, more output. lol Are there any security jobs around there?? Hospitals, gated communities, large wharehouses? Preferably ones that do not require a license or a gun. I actually make more to start than Wackenhut a big security firm on the east coast. We work 24/7, 365, the eve shift is great, midnight shift can really take a toll. It takes three days to recover from working two mids in a row. lol Good thing I only work part time as a relief. Even so I managed to work nearly 1000 hours last year that is half time. I even got a free Turkey for Thanksgiving. cool! Good luck with your back. In regard to gas prices I actually saw $2.51 this morning here in Sebastian, FL.

Bought my own Digger so I haven't had to rent anything. Yet. I saw a "For Sale" sign at Alpha/Omega a few months ago. Don't know if they sold or not. Unfortunately, they're the closest to where you want to work so you may have to "bite the bullet". With any luck they're had a complete personnel change! If I had a way to transport it, I'd offer me & my digger. I’m sorry, I don’t. Bought my own Digger so I haven’t had to rent anything. Yet. I saw a “For Sale” sign at Alpha/Omega a few months ago.

I need to fix it for her, as she is wheelchair ridden. It haven't been able to get to it until now being extremely busy, but now that I have some time, I have been researching where I should get the bulldozer, etc. Your blog was very helpful in giving me some info on Alpha Omega, where I was planning to rent. Do you have any other recommendations for renting in that area? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and your blog.
