Okay, so I am not getting better after all!! We are in Fentress set up for our winter job. This is my kind of work....4 EASY, EASY days working and then 8 days off. What a life!
We do have to go back to Houston today. Can't believe we have gotten ourselves in such a mess. The company we worked for after Ike STINKS!!! Never again. Both All-Tech Adjusters and Texas Windstorm are terrible. TWIA changes rule and regulations as we go along...WHAT?? All-Tech is trying out their own new software in the middle of a storm. We are still only about half way through with the claims we looked at a month ago. I REMEMBER WHY I HATE WORK!!!
Will try to get to this on a more current basis...no promises!!

WOW!! Diesel is $2.69....lowest we've seen in a LONG time. Of course, we're in the jeep and regular is almost as much as diesel. We paid $1.84 for regular in Lampasas before we let for Vegas.
It is 9:40pm Texas time and we are on our way home from Vegas. We are so glad we went after all. We had super-fantastic seats at the PBR. We were about 7 rows off the dirt and almost in the middle. We could see everything just great. Watched 2 of the greats retire and several of the best bulls were retired this year. Had such a great time!!!!
Too bad we have to go back to work. The company we are working for this hurricane is terrible. It has been over a month and we still aren't finished with all the claims. We have had things sitting in the office in pending for over 2 weeks. I feel so sorry for the insureds. Of course, we have had our share of people yell at us because they are not going to get paid what they think they should. WE are both ready to go back to being retired!!
Oh well, won't be long!!

I am trying to do a better job of keeping this blog current..... soooo here goes. We are somewhere between Flagstaff, AZ and Kingman, AZ. We are on our way to Las Vegas to the PBR finals. With the work situation, we were not sure if we were going this year. BUT we already have the VERY EXPENSIVE tickets, the condo, etc. And more inportantly, I wanted to go. Two of my favorite bullriders are retiring this year and I want to see them ride this last time. Also, need to get autographs for Ryan. At eight, he thinks the bullriding world is wonderful but I am sure that will change as life happens!
The saga of my parents continues. They are still in the process of remodeling their 1997 Teton 5th wheel.....over $30,000.00. WOW!! Of couse, they made these arrangements with and paid Country Tyme before any of us kids knew what was happening. I am having to pick my battles where they are concerned and what they do with their money is not one of the battles. On the other hand, their health is. My mom is bound and deterimed to go back to Brackettville. She would much rather be with her friends than her family. Daddy just goes along to get along as he is very frail and dependent on Mom. We are taking odds on when they will go back. Mom told my sister the 1st of January, if so then I win!!!
Later!!

WOW!! I am really not good at keeping this current while working. We are back in Georgetown but still working on getting all the insurance claims filed. What a nightmare. The company we went to work for is TRYING to use their own "new" software. It is not working and they keep changing the rules as we go along. We have claims that have been sitting in their pending for 10 days or more. WHAT??? I am so anxious to get finished with this project...I remember how much I HATE WORK!!
Enough bad stuff....now on to the fun stuff!! We leave 11/5 for LasVegas and the PBR finals. We seriously thought about not going because we won't be finished with work but will just take the ole computer and work along the way. I am more than ready to play again.
We are parked in my folks spot at New Life RV Park in Georgetown while they are having their 5th wheel fixed. Sure wish we could get them to move to Escapees Care Center. IF (BIG IF) they would give it a try, they would love it. My sisters and I are taking bets on how long they will stay before heading back to Brackettville. We plan to leave our "house" here while we go to LV and then head to Fentress, TX upon return. We are going to work 4 on - 8 off this winter, just enough to keep us from getting bored but not overload!! Kinda anxious to get there and get settle for the winter.
Nice to be close to the kids again. Fun going to the boys ballgames, having them stop by on spur of the moment and of course, the school lunch!
Better get back to my fun job!
