I'm planning to fully retire this time next year and am turning over the trucking business, which consists of 2 trucks, 2 drivers, an agent and an accountant to my grand daughter who has learned the business inside and out and plans to pilot one of the trucks down the road, it's time for me to enjoy what time I have left on planet earth and let the next generation have at it.

Thank you DU for all the support you've shown in the past years and am looking forward to full retirement.
Love ya all.

On edit: Thank you each and everyone of you for the Hearts, this right here is why this is the only social website I belong to, all others are irrelevant to me.
