One last time

We went in late(er) than normal. No rush today. It'll get done when it gets done.

Five stops in "I will NOT get stuck on my last day!" she said....and she was right. She rocks!

Just us girls doing our route till breakfast. Gettin' 'er done.

Beautiful weather! Perfect weather!

Breakfast. Our last one. G and Andy joined us. Andy's working midnight shift at his 'real' job so he left after breakfast. G stayed.

We laughed, threw snowballs, G threw us both in the snow, "I won't miss this stop", " I won't miss this stop more", "I won't miss naked-guy...dude...put a shirt on!"

G accomplished all he wanted to on our last day...except mooning the new guys....but not for lack of trying. Truck-skiing anyone? He's happy.

Left a half a box of dog cookies for Shaddow and gave Tundra extra too.

And then it was over....

Contract obligation complete.

We waved goodbye and went to the dump one last time.

Parked the truck in the yard.....she paused a little longer than normal before turning the engine off but neither of us said a word.

An email. The trucks are for sale. "I am on it" our salesman said. He'll get them sold.



We drank whiskey and wine.

We laughed, talked trash (and trash-talked...a bit) remembering good times and bad times. Remembered the old ford & buying the new truck. Truck fires and blown hoses. Crazy people and stupid stunts. Remembering.

No-longer co-workers, employees and employers but always family and friends.

We toasted a job well done.

Everyone's gone.

Hugs goodbye.

And now it's really over.

After 14 years.



Tomorrow's a new day
