Friday and time to move on, but a few pic's

This was the truck I drove for the few days I was here, overall it was not that bad, just the roads in and out of the pit and thr drop sites were horrendous and my back became unbearable, thou the last day it has gotten better, I still think that moving on may be best, for a few reason's...

1st reason.   The pay here is too low, way too low, and when everyone else is making 9-16 dollars more an hour add that up over a 60-80hr week, that is too much money to leave on the table, would you?

2nd reason.  Moving out west is going to happen as soon as I get paid for this short week, about 300 bucks or so to help me till I get hired on permantly somewhere , which Lord willing will be next week soon enough.

Working, but..it may not be for long, here in Devils Lake, ND

Yes it seems that I found a Job driving a Dump Truck building up the dike's around here after the flood in 2009 and it is a job, but...

I am actually blessed that I found this job, but my body is acting up on me , my back has become a nightmare and this truck and road has beaten me to death, honestly I am in so much jarring pain, and thou I need this job so badly I may have to let it go, I can hardly walk the pain is so bad, but 3 days I have went out and will again   if I can get up and out the door and in the truck and  try to get 1 more day , thus a few more dollars.

I still have plans and people helping me to make them work, but my body needs taking care of as this is only a job till freeze comes, 4-6 weeks max, which would of given about 3-4k roughly, but most likely I only have a few days left, doubtfully another week, I am in too much pain to keep going, maybe my back will bounce back into alignment and all will be tolerable , but I am not holding my breathe .

More later

Sunday, 1 week into my journey to ND

A few sunsets, 1 from Lake Erie, the other one from across the bridge into North Dakato , and yes thou beautiful I still am not feeling as energetic as I should be , nope, just the opposite, I am scared this time, and with a real fear , my health, as I am very overweight and out of shape, more than I have ever been, and it scares me to no end. I quit smoking years ago and put on 200 some lbs, and now I am stressed so much that I am having issues breathing, after walking a little, or going up stairs instead of using the elevator, and Saturday I almost fell down the stairs when my knee went out, good thing I hold on to the rail.

But with all this going on, I will drive out to the west end of the state Mondsay and start looking for what I can find, maybe something inside, or a dispatching job, and or a cooking job or camp manager if possible, but having now very limited funds I am forced to go and see what may be there for me.

Wish me luck as I go and see what I find out there, and if I get stuck , then so be it, maybe I will head north into Canada, it will be a few miles at most...

Bless you all

Sunday nite, here in ND, Fargo to be precise

It seem my driving habits are still ok, as I made good time leaving after noon and getting here before sundown on Sunday, allowing me to get busy Monday morning at the ND work force center.

Wish me well and let me hope I find something quick and that it is the one I will be most happy with, amen.

God Bless all

Saturday, finally leaving town

Yes it seems my life is on the road again, and also a few people who wanted me to stop by have decided to ignore me for the last week, and that tells me they do not want me to stop by, oh well,  guess I will drive by a wave at them, lol.

I am nervous, true, but I must go forward and do what I hope is the right thing, find a job to save some money , but enough about that as I have beaten that horse dead, bad pun, but we all know why I am going west, to find work, to save and hopefully make my life better, Lord willing it will work that way.

Still not sure about going thru Canada or not,but will get to Buffalo and then decide, as I should be in Buffalo tonight, well off to the wild wild west. 

wish me well, please

Friday and...then it hit me , run man run

Traveling Man is what I have been for ever, over 40 years I been on the road , living in the streets and moving on to the next place and never really getting settled , even when married , we traveled all over , from Alaska to Florida and everywhere in between, life has always been an adventure, so even thou I was happy here in Saratoga, I am now looking to move on again, but this time I am sure it is the right move, financially anyway, not because I felt like moving to ND, who does this in the winter, only someone who thinks he must, well I do

Thursday, on the road....NOT YET

It seems my presence was requested till Friday and well I was all too happy to oblige, and yet again I am set back another day or 2,  it seems things keep coming up to slow my roll, slang for hitting the road to North Dakato, but hey I will be there soon enough, I think, found A GREAT NEW WEBSITE, thanks to Jim, it is called www.coolworks.com great website and may find me another cool job. Too bad I just found it, may have to wait the season to get something, new, as coming back the The Spa next year would be awesome too, boy it was a fun gig for sure.

Gotta run things to do, but the pictures were the best shots of Manhattan that I could get going where I went in the City, sorry, but picture taking on 9/12 in the City was not easy, but I got only a few, forgive me.
