Brief:
Arrived in Florida the last week of November 2008. After getting things ready to live in the trailer home, took sick, and ended in the hospital for a week. Your PoBoy was informed that he had walking pneumonia. So PoBoy the Thanksgiving Holiday season in the first Florida Hospital he had been in, what seems like, several hundred years.
Finally passed through the recuperation period. PoBoy felt pretty good on release from the hospital but they insisted PoBoy take it easy for a month. That's what PoBoy calls the recuperation period.
During this period of time PoBoy had to face the realization that the person he had faithfully trusted and to whom he sent $850.00 for a pickup truck that he found advertised "for sale" turned out to be fraudulent, rip off transaction. PoBoy was out both $850.00 and a Pickup Truck.
For the next month and a half, PoBoy scrambled trying to locate a means of transportation. Quite a few times he would have to "bum" a ride with someone who lived in the park. The park had no form of public transportation. Finally he found an ad and ended up with another old pickup truck and it became know around the campground as "old rust bucket." However, it did serve its purpose.
During his recuperation period, his little dog (Long Hair Chichuaua) began a serious bonding. The little girl dog carried a name of Gidget. She was almost 5 years of age and weighed about the same as her age. Every morning you would find PoBoy in his PJ's and Gidget walking amongst the "world's friendliest campground." It's true most were friendly but there were some who were not. For example, just three trailers down from their's was a mean old "bitty," who took offense to the little Gidget taking a leak so small that it would not even have filled a "shot glass" in her yard. She insulted PoBoy by hollering like a banshee that he was no good and never cleaned up after the little nuisance. She said that dog was never to sit foot in her yard again. It really wasn't her yard as the yard belonged to the park. But that began one of a series of friendly people in the park.
All this was occurring about the time PoBoy ran into another problem. He wasn't covered by Medicare at the time of illness. So now he had a new obstacle (and he still has those obstacles) how to pay medical bills. At a quick glance he's probably facing in the neighborhood of $1200.00. When living on a fixed income any outside dollar occurrence is a catastrophe.

Special Announcement. There has been a postponement to PoBoy's scheduled move and arrival date in Florida. Because of a medical emergency within my "Driver's" family (open heart surgery), we have a new tentative date of November 15, 2008. In order to ensure my "getaway," LOL LOL LOL, PoBoy is in search of secondary way to get to Florida.
Out of the clear blue, the older gentleman with the "TransVan" called to see if PoBoy was still interested. After due consideration, PoBoy told him he would not be interested but thanked him for remembering him. PoBoy had driven the vehicle once, around a "country" block, and the front bearing had caught fire. PoBoy figured it had setup too long, and to risk a 1398 mile road trip would be too large a gamble for him.
What are PoBoy's real options? If enough time were available he might be able to advertise and find another driver with a rig wanting to go to Florida. But two weeks!
One option remains open and possibly feasible. Rent a vehicle to tow the boat. Harder to do then to say. PoBoy has found someone to ride with him and share in the driving. Now what remains is to find a rentable tow vehicle. If PoBoy can accomplish this by at least the end of next week, he will be going home. Either his original driver will take him or he will drive it. PoBoy should have had an alternate plan before leaving time arrived. But alas hindsite is always more accurate then foresight. If he doesn't get out of here by mid November than the possiblity of arriving in Florida will probably have to wait until next spring.

Tomorrow begins the third week of retirement. PoBoy visited his primary physician (family doctor) the middle of last week and found out he had Bronchitus. A great way to begin retirement. Anyway was given a 10 day, 2 times a day horse pill (augmentin) which seems to have cured him. Also received a cough medicine containing codiene -- PoBoy read the label wrong and instead of taking up to two teaspoons, overdosed on two tablespoons. Misread the label. Anyway it sure made him sleep sound, so sound that people where he lives called the paramedics who brought him around. PoBoy is okay now.
The office where he once worked for more then ten years called him to assist one of the ladies who had taken over some of his duties that he did while there. She was a little overwhelmed at all the new things she had to learn. So PoBoy, loyal as always, went in to assist her. PoBoy answered her quesions and shook hands with his former boss and the boss asked him to stop by one more time before he left for Florida. The lady who needed his assistance also provided him with assistance to locate the closest Secretary of State's office (License Bureau).
PoBoy left the office and headed uptown. Traffic was vicious. He drove down the square keeping an eye out for the license bureau. Just past the heart of the square, PoBoy spotted the bureau on his left and as luck would have it, a parking spot stood available almost in front of the building. He made quick left across the two lane square and pulled into the parking spot. Depositing two quarters in the parking meter, he noted he had half an hour before he'd need to add more. He felt in his pocket and found one remaining quarter.
The girl at the office had hinted that this would be a good time to visit the bureau, "you should be able to get in and right out." That became PoBoy's hope too. But inside after taking a number and finding a seat he heard a number called for service: "075" PoBoy glanced down at the piece of paper in his fingers: "095" Twenty people ahead of him.
Anyone who knows PoBoy is aware that PoBoy actually and literally detests "lines." PoBoy blames that on his days in the Navy where he had to stand in lines that were 3,000 to 4,000 personnel long. You stood there if you wanted to eat and PoBoy missed many meals because of his attitude toward lines. He'd get up early for breakfast though and go through the line two or three times. He loved the Navy SOS, a tomatoe sauce with hamburger and the tang of spice over hot buttered toast. It became his favorite breakfast but he never could figure out what all the ingredients were.
An half hour had passed and the new number was 87. He would have to spend his last quarter for 15 minutes more of parking. Hopefully he'd get called up by that time. Finally "#95" and PoBoy walked to the counter and gave the lady his driver's license and and paperwork for boat and trailer. "Can I write a check?" PoBoy asked. The lady answered yes and he wrote a check for just over 111.00 but now the boat and trailer belong to him.
So tomorrow begins week three of retirement. PoBoy is now very close to being prepared to make the final move of his life. Everything seems to be set for Saturday morning, November 01, 2008. The trip is close to 1400 miles. Plan is drive half of it on Saturday, sleep over near Tennessee, and finish trip on Sunday. So first day of living in Florida appears to be Monday, November 03, 2008.

It's the weekend! PoBoy has now been retired since Tuesday, September 16, 2008.
Unfortunately for PoBoy, he came down with a sickness called "Bronchitus" the last Friday of his working career. Basically he has been following not only the advice of his doctors, but also all his many friends, who are watching him, as he nears the last days of his stay in Michigan.
The Bronchitus 10 day antibiotic pack will expire the middle of next week. PoBoy has not had the best of results visiting his doctor's lately. Primary Physician (Family Doctor) diagnosed PoBoy with Bronchitus. Advanced Cardiologist (Heart Doctor) found PoBoy's blood pressure to be much to high at 171/92. PoBoy himself also examined his problem in an objective manner.
After a thorough study of the recent physcial readings, Dr. PoBoy has made the following determination: "Stress is the major contributor to the high blood pressure readings."
PoBoy where are you picking up all this stress? PoBoy got caught up in an office shuffle. His original plan was to retire on October 17, 2008. However, the director called him into the office unexpectedly and announced that "PoBoy could retire on September 15, providing he meant certain specifications." This occurred around the first of September. After the director explained everything, PoBoy was assured that he would have "health" insurance coverage through the end of October. Just a few days after, the director informed PoBoy that they could not cover him with insurance through October but they would insure him through the end of September.
Finally there was the matter of "having to write an office manual." This irritated PoBoy more then anything else. Of all the office personnel, PoBoy ranked the lowest on educational level. There are many "sheepskin" holders within the office arena. There are also secretarial schooled staff as well. So just what did the PoBoy do?
PoBoy, the lowest paid staff person who never complained as he was always thankful for having a chance to work people who were superior to him, was considered a support secretary for the staff. He often considered himself the "gofer" of the group. Normally PoBoy was the second in the office (15 to 20 minutes early) everyday and he was second to leave the office upon the close of any day. PoBoy has many wonderful stories to tell of his early years with this organization.
With the addition of a new director, PoBoy was thrown into positions that he was not prepared for. He was supposed to have received on-the-job training to increase his knowledge of the secretarial trade, but this never panned out. Years earlier, a former director, wanted to show PoBoy his appreciation for all the extras PoBoy had done for the organization and one formerlly called "Secretary Day," made him an "honorary Secretary." This was done so the director could give PoBoy a basket of fruit on "Secretary's Day."
So PoBoy found himself thrown into positions he was unqualified for. Mistakes became his day. When he'd ask for help from the Office Executive Manager, the answer he'd get was simple "Research it!" Why the office manager, who had been with the staff since the last director left, never bothered to tell the new director that PoBoy was not a real trained secretary but only an honorary appointed one, is something that could have saved PoBoy years of stress.
But as PoBoy says "it's over now. He failed to reach two important goals he had when working with the company. First, he had hoped to finally, once in his life, be able to say he had earned $10.00 per hour. That goal never saw fruition. A second, and more important goal to PoBoy, was that he failed to complete his goal of working 10 years without missing a day. However, because his health turned bad, and he suffered a heart attack he ended up missing a total of 30 days in 2008. He was devastated beyond belief for had his health held to June 1, 2008 he would have completed that goal.
Finally there is the matter of writing a front office manual. PoBoy, of course, can write but he is not a technical writer and he is also one of the most disorganized people in this world. PoBoy could have, of course, dictated to one of those professional secretary's all the things he does with the organization but to write it in an organized content was too much to ask of the PoBoy and besides who writes technical manuals who has never earned in a life time -- $10.00 per hour. But PoBoy when he stated publicly that he would retire in October 2008, more then a year ago, offered to teach "hands on" any person the organization so chose to learn the material from him in a "step-by-step" manner. The organization chose otherwise.
Just three weeks before the proposed retirement for PoBoy he was scrambling around trying to write things down to make the job somewhat easier for the person who happens to fall into the same position he found himself in.
Dr PoBoy concluded that it was indeed stress that was causing his resistance to be low. Aging and stress do not make good bed fellas. However, a weekend and two equals a doctor's appointment.
Days! PoBoy has 42 days remaining before the trip begins to Florida.

Good Morning. PoBoy is up early! It's Monday, September 15, 2008. So what's the big deal? Today is PoBoy's last day of work. From tonight at Midnight, PoBoy is retired. PoBoy's new work mode: "work for himself only as required by the stomach."
What does one think of on the upcoming first day of retirement? Gold, fishing, barbeques, restuarants, travel, all the wonderful things one has never had a chance to try or enjoy. Not the PoBoy, he's thinking about sleeping.
Can you imagine being able to sleep solid for two weeks? No alarms to wake you! No job to go to! Just snooze and cruize through your dreams.

Long time no post! Sorry for all the delays. Quite a bit happening around here now.
First PoBoy's pride and joy. Have title for his boat and will soon transfer it into Poboy's name mid month. He also hopes to check it out in the water around mid month.
Second, two more doctor's appointments awaits PoBoy this month. First will be the Cardiologist; followed by Primary Physician near end of month. From then on, unless emergency develops PoBoy will await the move to Florida where his immediate task will be to find doctor's in his local area.
Third, and here PoBoy expects all of you to stand up and cheer! The office where PoBoy works has moved his retirement date up one month. Why? Well like all companies things are done for various reasons and always good for the company. It's okay with PoBoy as he can use the extra time to get ready for his move to Florida still scheduled (pending) for the first part of November.
Tropical Storm Fay visited PoBoy's Trailer home in Florida. As far as he knows no damaged occurred in the campground. However, if you have been watching the Tropical weather like PoBoy, you will have seen the amazing train of tropical storms coming across the Atlantic. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that none visit PoBoy's retirement home.
News will begin to come fast now. So PoBoy will be posting more on regular basis. September 15, 2008 is his last scheduled work day. So if posts come more frequently he'll keep you abreast of life in the cold country.
A new string of cool air begins tomorrow -- 70's for highs and 50's for lows. Well still have to work and must get ready. When he heads off for work tomorrow, he'll have only eight work days remaining. Yipee!

It's truly been a nice weather weekend here in Michigan. It doesn't happen to often, but it did today. PoBoy discovered that his "homemade website" was no longer working, so he had to change the site. He does apologize for this and also when you go there you will notice his countdown machine is not placed correctly. He'll work on a fine tuning adjustment on that machine during the week.
PoBoy was roused from sleep this Sunday morning by a tongue that kept darting over his closed eye's by his doggie, Sissy. She had to go out so PoBoy had to get up and take care of her needs. PunkyButt, also asleep on the bed, was just too tired to get up at 4 a.m. in the morning. So PoBoy let him sleep and took Sissy for the "potty walk." It's almost like a dance except performed only by the doggies.
After the "stroll" -- that's an old song that PoBoy once danced to -- and after downloading his emails, PoBoy fixed their breakfast. This simply means he pulled chicken from an already cooked thigh. Each puppy gets a thigh or drumstick without the bone for breakfast. Later in the evening each get's a piece of pork steak. It must be pretty good because Sissy now weighs 37 pounds. And her son, PunkyButt weighs a whopping 13 pounds.
Completing his "Pet Control" -- that's pet not pest (for those doggies are never a pest to PoBoy) -- PoBoy took his meds (7 pills and he hopes to cut that down to 2 or 3 at his final heart doctor appointment in September), downloaded and sorted some more emails it was near 9:30 a.m.
After several events in recent months, two of which were near death experiences, PoBoy promised he would attend church. So at 11:00 a.m. PoBoy once again found himself within God's home on earth. It was a good sermon and PoBoy knew it was directed at him personally. After church he stopped at one of those places that resembles a "Speedway" but not, and he bought himself a coffee. That's was PoBoy's first and only coffee all weekend. He has taught himself to go without coffee while at home in hopes that it will someway help his blood pressure readings. He must admit it must have been left over coffee from the 6 a.m. shift. Yuck!
Okay. The main reason for this post was to inform you of the new website address. The second reason was to ask that you press on the signup link for his "Newsletter" so that he can have your most current email address because of his upcoming move to Florida. Finally PoBoy after due deliberation for a few months has decided to use a cell phone. If you would like his cell phone number just use the same sign up form for his newsletter and he'll send to you. Don't forget to include your telephone number. Oh! He's using a service called Verizon and if you happen to be using the same service PoBoy says we can talk forever, no matter where you are, because Verizon to Verizon is totally FREE! PoBoy is definitely a sucker for that word "FREE" LOL LOL
A new work week begins in the morning. Not many weeks left here in Michigan. To be more precise, 15 3/4 weeks remain. Now that is sure newsworthy.

It's truly been a nice weather weekend here in Michigan. It doesn't happen to often, but it did today. PoBoy discovered that his "homemade website" was no longer working, so he had to change the site. He does apologize for this and also when you go there you will notice his countdown machine is not placed correctly. He'll work on a fine tuning adjustment on that machine during the week.
PoBoy was roused from sleep this Sunday morning by a tongue that kept darting over his closed eye's by his doggie, Sissy. She had to go out so PoBoy had to get up and take care of her needs. PunkyButt, also asleep on the bed, was just too tired to get up at 4 a.m. in the morning. So PoBoy let him sleep and took Sissy for the "potty walk." It's almost like a dance except performed only by the doggies.
