my grandpa was managing a trailer court, one day he came down to my house and said you and your girlfriend cant sit around and watch cartoons all day, i was 20 and unemployed, he said some guys moved in their 5th wheels and were working on the highway outside of town, that night we went down to the supers trailer im sure now he just got home from the bar, he flung open the door no shirt no false teeth no hair, pretty scary sight, asked if i had a cdl, told me to be on the job the next day. went out got in a truck with an end dump trailer, had to back off the road through a gate, did it on the first shot i might add, that started my career on the pipecrew running a wacker, did that for that for the summer next summer got on a scraper, worked for them for almost 13years traveling around wyo rebuilding and reconstructing highways, wish i could go back to eating cerial and chasing that little hotty around my house again.
