Popular Post other dog Posted January 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2019 Well, I actually got to go to sunny Florida this week! The N.B.Handy Co. has opened a branch in Davenport, Fl. They used to have a branch in Orlando and in Boca Raton too but they closed them. They said they're gonna supply the Davenport branch out of the Norcross, Ga. (Atlanta) branch, but they would have loads out of Lynchburg going there to get the warehouse fully supplied. I loaded on Thursday to deliver Monday, but of course I came home and fed the cat, cleaned the litter box, took a shower, and I was off. I got there Friday a little after noon, not expecting to get unloaded until Monday, but they unloaded me Friday. So I waited until the redhead got off from work, and she drove over from the other side of Orlando and picked me up.As I always do whenever i'm with her, I had a great time. I saw this serious looking bird on the way down. and a bird on a sign- I took a picture of this orange grove right across the road from N.B.Handy while I was waiting for her. I might have walked over and picked a few oranges too. Saturday we took a little drive over to Stuart, Fl. to see a BMT dignitary- Hatcity, a true legend. We went up rt. A1A when we left Stuart and stopped a few times to take pictures and look around. We saw some people on some horses. And a seagull on the beach. A big beach umbrella- A girl who stepped on a Lego- A couple walking on the beach- ...so, we stopped at another place and saw this little crab- and a big bird- Sunday morning we went for an airboat ride, saw lots of aminals... Then I had to leave, after having a great time, drinking great beer, eating great wings, and being with great people- ...and get back into the cold, the snow, the ice,..this is here, about an hour ago- bummer. I did see a big Mack truck or two yesterday though- 9 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

1965 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Great stuff; when you going to sell your place & move to Florida? Your place should be worth a bunch since so close to the winfall wimmims! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55273-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-413050 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a heat person at all, don't tolerate it well. But I am at a point where i'm thinking seriously about cutting back, not working so hard, life is short, i'm 62 now, gotta do what ya gotta do. I'd retire yesterday if I could, but the insurance is the thing, I need to work to keep my insurance because if you get sick or hurt you're screwed. I don't have much, but at least it's paid for. I need to make some serious decisions soon about what i'm going to do. 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

It is a long haul from there to Medicare at 65. The Florida pictures look nice about now. We (in northern VA) have about 6" of snow and it is still coming for the rest of the day with predictions up to 10".

I need to make some serious decisions soon about what i'm going to do. Did you know there is a type of insurance for people nearing retiring age that covers catastrophic (I believe it was $10k and up) medical bill? I heard it being discussed on a radio show awhile back and it was to protect people who are retired or close to it but not in Medicare yet from losing their entire retirement if something should happen. Maybe something like that is affordable and you’ll soon be giving us pics of the week from a Florida fishing boat.

I need to make some serious decisions soon about what i'm going to do. If you can hang in there and make it to 65, then Medicare is a beautiful thing. Then, when you are on Medicare, you can get what is known as a Medicare Supplement policy to pick up where Medicare stops. There are a bunch of different supplement options. I like the high deducible supplements that are reasonable cost. I pay about $65. a month for a $2600. deductible. Basically makes sure you are covered if something crazy expensive happens to you the bills don't bankrupt you.

You're right about that Mike. Maybe I could do like people at work, they quit, stay gone a few weeks, then come back and get a new truck and the best loads.
