I hate this

[okietool]

I'm living in a motel in Carlsbad N.M. for two weeks. One week to go. But, I'm getting paid, and it goes with the job. I have just been spoiled working 40-45 miles from home for 4 years. 30 years ago, this would have been a great adventure, now it's just a pain in the rear. It's kind of surprising how many Okies are down here.

IF you ever get the time, New Mexico is a great place to hunt coyotes.

Lots of nice deer running around the sandhills around Carlsbad.

I know how you feel. I used to fly charter and would spend 5-8'nights a month in my own bed. Its a tough life, but it sure does make the days youre home matter. Good luck with it.
