Jazz for aficionados

Any O-10 news? Out of curiosity, how old is he?

Thanks.

This post is for all my acquaintances here on JFA although we have never met and the frogman elaborated on this subject on the previous page we are all friends or acquaintances, somewhat at least.

I had been in the construction field as a residential house framer for 35 years but decided the physical part of that work was to much for a man in his 50s quickly approaching 60 so 3 years ago I graduated a local CDL school and started driving tractor trailers. The pay is good although I made more as a framing sub contractor I have gladly taken the pay cut (not too much) for the less physically demanding job of driving a semi.

I am approaching retirement and will be moving from NY to North Carolina and I can get a driving job down there no problem. I currently live on Long Island NY and my property tax is almost 1000,00 per month and thanks to the Biden administration home fuel heating oil has doubled this year (I just paid 1456,00 to fill up my 280 gallon tank) and this will only last me 2 months so around Christmas I need to fill up again.

A small house for my wife and I in NC will be around 100.00 per month in property tax and Winter is way less harsh there so I probably could heat my house and have hot water with just 280 gallons for the whole year (in NY i need to fill up my tank four times per year)

Anyway we will be moving soon and need to cut down on items that would have to move with us. I have stopped buying physical CDs because I already have enough to take up a lot of space in a small moving truck (imagine if I had vinyl it would be 4x the space).

I started using Spotify for streaming any new music I want and they have millions of jazz songs and complete albums and it all can be customized and I have the Spotify Phone App and listen to my music via blue tooth in my rig when I’m on the road.

Anyway Alek and Marija are friends with me on Facebook where I post some of my over the road adventures but I wanted to share with by friends here as well.

The reason I have not been posting so much here is because I drive 10 - 12 hours per day and sleep a lot when I get home. I plan on posting more often (stop being lazy). Ok got that off my chest and I hope the few minutes it takes to read this wont bore any of you. Have a great Sunday and keep listening to jazz, the greatest music genre, and keep posting on JFA!
