    A friend of mine has a couple of goats as pets, he lives on 10 acres. He says they follow him around like dogs, he'll be in the garage working on something and turn around and the goats are there with him, lol. He said they are smart and just like to be around people. Kind of a goofy animal at times.
    But they do not go in the house, lol.

    Man I'm really looking forward to the weekend, even though it's supposed to rain. I just need some down time. Last week was pretty rough on me. As I get older the long hours are getting harder to do.
    4 years until retirement, hope I make it. I won't quit working, just go down to part time 2 or 3 days a week. Just slow down some.

    Yeah I did ltl for a bit, it can be physical. I was doing flatbed as a steel hauler, that was rough as I got older. Throwing chains and carrying tarps wrecked my shoulders, so I went back to dry van. I'm heavy haul with a 4 axle but bu.ping docks and unloading with a fork lift is far easier on my body.
    I had a back surgery for a herniated disc about 10 or 15 years ago. But it healed up well and I'm still going.

    Wishing you success in your surgery. Take it easy afterwards and let your body heal up, it takes time.

    Getting closer to the weekend. 2 more to go. I'm back in my old p.o.s. truck, clutch finally feels better, we'll see how the steering is when I get it back on the road today. I got spoiled driving that automatic, sure was nice in rush hour traffic.
