GrayCloud ,
Spent 20+years in an underground coal mine . Qualified for a reduced pension at 55 and took it after we buried one of my nephews following the Sago Mine Diasaster . Planned to bank that every
month while I kept on truckin as an Owner/Operator .
Trucking business changed so drastically in the next 2 years that I sold my rig and took a job with
a local outfit as a driver . Boss treated me so good that I wanted to adopt him and he was willing .
6 months later I took 2 days off from work to have a 'simple' procedure done at the hospital to install a stint to correct a blocked artery . Ended up being 6 hours of open heart surgery and the end of my working career . SS fast tracked me to full disability and I never looked back . Use what comes in the mailbox every month and enjoy life .
