My last post to all my Ho's

Well as you read a few days ago, I announced a change was coming. Good Buddies it with great sadness I've decided to let my ho's go.
This has been heavy on my mind for several weeks. So with my vacation beginning, I felt what better time to make a fresh start
Before you all get in an uproar let me explain.

Recently it was brought to my attention that a very special young lady, My teenage niece Court wanted to read my blog and see what I was doing. Well as you all know my language, and subject matter is a little salty, and my Sis is very guarded about what Court reads, and does on the computer. So I've decided to clean my blog up alittle, and give Court the opportunity to keep up with her favorite Uncle.
Yes, this blog will still be very much about my trucking down the road, and all the great stories I've yet been able to blog about. If anyone has noticed I've dropped my signature sign off "Let's Ride Ho's", and have retired it to the Trucking Hall of Shame. From this post on, all my Ho's will now be known as Good Buddies.

These last few weeks I've been introduced to blogs, and bloggers that have really inspired me to be witty, informative, and entertaining with using all the profanity . Hopefully all of you that are faithful readers bare with me through this transition, and as a special thanks to those of you that have been here, and comment it's with great pleasure I announce here today......
My First Annual Extravaganza Spectacular Prize Giveaway. If this dont just blow your mind, this years prize is an absolute dandy.
A $50 gift card to Outback Steakhouse
Stay tuned for how you can win it...

You could have two blogs. This one for us and the clean version telling where you are, about trucking, and all those funny stories. You could post on this one now and then when you want to write about things your nieces shouldn't read. Or is that too much trouble? Either way, I'll keep on reading and looking forward to everything you write!

Have a good trip!

I'm just glad you aren't going to stop blogging. At first that's what I thought you were going to do and had an anxiety attack! Whew!!

We all know where the cuss words belong- as we read along we can just mentally insert them!
I do think it's great that your niece wants to read your chronicles of the road! I don't think my niece and nephews care about my blog one way or the other!

i will read whatever you write! I enjoy what you have to say.

On another note, I would go on record in saying that your niece wouldnt be reading anything she hasnt already.

Teens today are far more advanced than parents want them to be.

Sam,
I have no doubt the change will be a good thing.
Court has got to share in all the fun too!
She needs to start a blog.

letting the ho's go, but picking up outback steakhouse... i can dig it! :)) the possibility of a contest certainly softens the blow, but as you said: your stories will be good with or w/ out profanity (tho what euphemism you'll use for gas prices i don't know). i look forward to the changes, good buddy. ;D

Well, I'll continue to read, even without the cursing--as my Gandma would call it.
I like a good swear word now and again, but I don't need it.
And, I think it's nice that you're doing this for your neice, and nice that she wants to follow your adevntures.

I've learned a lot in the last few years. One thing is my ability to keep moving forward regardless of what's happening around me.  My sister is terminal, a lifer.   She's now 46 and her youngest just turned 10.  6 years ago it was breast cancer and  lymph nodes. We had hoped it was all behind us but this was a hope we only wished for.  MD Anderson said two years.  I remain calm and steady, on the outside.  Inside I'm a flying superman with a wicked cape that doesn't keep me at a level altitude. I die with every bit of turbulence.  I will never breath a word of this to anyone, my mad ride in my head.  My Facebook post are generic.  This will now be my place to let it go. All of it.  Bill will never understand my thoughts on any of this. He's never even lost a parent. He still lives in the innocent world that everybody lives forever.  Sure people have survived this. Bob lost his sister and I read every post of his. It broke my h...

HOWDY!!

Is anybody out there???? Everyone has left the blogs for facebook, including me. Well I'm back for at least this post. I'm no longer driving a truck. Bill and I live in Monte Vista, a historic district within the city limits of San Antonio, Texas. Number 9 has moved to the Houston Area along with all her kids in tow. Texas was where we grew up and it appears we left for all the right reasons. Getting back to the neanderthal ways of life are a huge adjustment but trust me, I'm having a much easier time than #9. She has been bombarded by southern Baptist at every turn and it has been a trying time for her to readjust. Back in June I was hurt on the job in Ohio and required a 10 day hospital stay followed by several months of therapy. I'm just now almost back at where I began and hopefully by the middle of the new year, I'll be good as new again. Why the move??several. But the most important one?  well #9 went for her three month check up in Las Vegas back in ...

Oh gawd, What a week already. I did some things around the house but sleeping has become the norm, when I'm not eating. So. On the 26th, it will be one year since #9 shot across the sky in rocking light of fire. It was Friday, just about noon on that day when I whispered in her ear and ask if this was it. She said three words. I love you. Gone like that. On Friday that week she was in Phoenix at the Cancer Center of America. Walking, Talking and doing her thing. Although the news was shitty as hell and they said she would be needing to check in to hospice centers back in Texas, she walked to the airplane, flew back to Texas and walked to her car at the airport. She was a tough old broad as Mom would say. She called me on her journey home to tell me the news and what they had advised her to do. It was a tough talk but we had it. I drove over to see her for the weekend and knew when I left Sunday I would be back on Wednesday, which i did. When I got there Tuesday she was in...
