My first paycheck job was... tire repair for a trucking company ... NO TUBELESS TIRES all split rims and moving trailers around the freight docks... Company had 30 trucks and 105 trailers ... my age 15 years old... 30 hrs a week after school !!! @ $1.75 per hr. Now, retired income $1487.00 per month / 720 hrs per month = $ 2.06 per hr. ... at least it's tax free !!!
Today, I have to clean the house, cash my check & go to DMV to renew my drivers license & hopefully take my motorcycle permit test, then I have to meet Jimmy to pay bills, do shopping, & get gas in the vehicles. And later, we'll have dinner & maybe have a campfire (if the weather cooperates) & make smores for desert!
What have you done already?
Other than having my morning coffee & checking FTE ?...Not a damn thing!
Happy Friday Everyone! Taking the family fishing and trail riding by Eagle Valley Reservoir this weekend, should be cooler than Vegas and hopefully we have some luck with fishing, my son is looking forward to the fishing.
My first job was working with my Dad at his plumbing company back in Wyoming, still in the plumbing industry but now we only due new construction and I don't have to work in the field anymore.
About the same for me for today, Donna! Hopefully, I'll have the garage cleaned out this weekend, and I can get the 67's cab back in, so I can get back to work on it!

Rezvani's Latest Post-Apocalyptic Monster Is a Ford F-150 Raptor Underneath
TGIF Nevada, hope everyone has a great day, and even better weekend. I have no plans today except possibly to clean the Bronco and put a quart of oil in. Tomorrow friends will be stopping by for burgers and fries. Sunday and Monday, no plans except church, and I may take a peek under the hood to see if I can find any new oil leaks, because I smell burned oil every time I drive the Bronco now.
