JUST WORK'IN
I'VE REALLY SLIPPED INTO THE "COUCH-POTATO" MODE HERE IN THE MOHAVE VALLEY. ONLY FOR ME IT ISN'T HOURS ON THE COUCH WATCHING TV, IT'S ENDLESS HOURS SITTING IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER. I REALLY ENJOY THE NEWSPAPERS, POSTVILLE, WAUKON, DECORAH, LA CROSSE, MOHAVE VALLEY, AND LAKE TAHOE. I ALSO SPEND A LOT OF TIME READING OTHER RV'ERS BLOGS, SEVERAL OF THEM I READ DAILY. WRITTEN BY REX
MEANWHILE MY WINTER'S LIST OF THINGS TO DO IS GROWING LONG. THE CURRENT PRIORITY IS HAND WAXING THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRAILER, AND I CAN REPORT THAT I HAVE THE BACK DONE AND THE OTHER THREE SIDES TO GO.
I'M STILL NOT SURE ON HOW WE ENDED UP ON NEVADA'S NEW MINIMUM WAGE LAW, BUT THERE WERE LOT'S SMILES AND PAPERS FLYING AROUND THE PIT LAST NIGHT SO IT LOOKS HOPEFUL. THAT $1 AN HOUR WOULD MEAN AN EXTRA $1,000.00 EACH FOR MARY AND I. I ALSO STATED THAT WE EXPECT TO EARN 25 WEEKS PAY IN 23 WEEKS, AND THAT'S WELL ON THE WAY TOO. WE WORKED THE WEEK-END (FRI. & SAT.) BEFORE THE START OF WEEK #23, AND MY FIRST TWO FULL WEEKS BACK TO WORK HAVE BEEN SIX DAY WEEKS, SO ONLY TWO WEEKS IN AND I ALREADY HAVE FOUR OF THE EXTRA TEN DAYS I HOPE TO WORK THIS WINTER. SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?............
WELL IT GOES LIKE THIS, THE MORE MONEY WE MAKE THE MORE TIME OFF WE CAN TAKE. IN 2006 WE TOOK 16 WEEKS OFF, AFTER WORKING EXTRA IN 2005 AND PUTTING TOGETHER A TRAVEL FUND. IN 2007 WE PLAN TO WORK MORE AND ONLY TAKE SIX WEEKS OFF PUTTING TOGETHER A TRAVEL FUND FOR 2008. WE LOVE THOSE EVEN NUMBERED YEARS !!!
I'M STILL THINKING "BEACH BUM". TONIGHT SHOULD BE INTERESTING AT THE CASINO, WE HAVE A LIVE FIGHT CARD, AND COWBOYS COMPETING FOR PENNING CHAMPIONSHIPS. ACROSS THE RIVER FROM THE CASINO THE INDIANS BUILT A HUGH EVENT CENTER, CALLED MOHAVE CROSSING, IT'S BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD A RODEO INSIDE !! IT'S A VERY IMPRESSIVE BUILDING AND THE COWBOYS LOVE COMPETING INSIDE OUT OF THE WIND AND DUST. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THOSE COWBOYS LOVE TO DRINK AND GAMBLE WITH BOTH HANDS COME NIGHT TIME.
THE FIGHT CROWD TENDS TO BE MOSTLY (LARGE) HISPANIC MEN FROM LOS ANGELES. THE MIX OF THESE TWO GROUPS TONIGHT IN THE CASINO WILL BE VERY INTERESTING.
