    Good luck tramping, I had my fill of it. I sure am enjoying my I.B.E.W. retirement.

    Thanks victor, congrats on your retirement.

    Where are some of the places you have worked? Any good or bad locals to look out for?

    Cordova is a beautiful part of Illinois. From Galena down to Burlington, the Mississippi River is a nice place.

    I'm about 45min from the IL/IN line on the Hoosier side.

    If you ever get anywhere near the state line, let me know.

    Best of luck.

    Made it to the hall in Rock Island, Illinois today at 3:00 p.m., picked up paperwork, made it to the campground and got set up. Went in to Rapids City for supper and hot shower at the camper, ready for bed. Job starts tomorrow.

    All locals I've worked in were good places to work, if you remember that your a guest there. Never over stay your welcome, if work gets slow in that local, you should of left two weeks ago. Working seven tens for more then two years, can make your breath smell like diesel fuel and your heart hard as nails.Take time off to smell the roses.If you make all the money you ever dreamed of, and loose your family, you've lost it all. Your children are only small once in your and their life time, enjoy them to the max.Insects can make you or break you, if you choose to go that route. Its best to have people owe you favors, and not the other way around. Good luck to you Bro, your going to do just fine.
