Yesterday was a long day! A mandatory safety meeting for all drivers was the first order of business at 8am. By the time that was over at a little past 11am, it was time to go to work. When I got off work at 9pm, it didn't take long for me to fall asleep, and as a result, no blog post yesterday. Besides, there wasn't a whole lot to write about.
When you run a public transportation company, or work for the same, the highest priority should be safety. Paul Revere Transportation places the appropriate emphasis on safety, and yesterday's meeting was a good example. The more I work for this company, the more impressed I am with their entire operation. The rules are strict, but the results are predictable.
The National Park Service must be impressed also, as they have awarded Paul Revere their 3rd 5 year contract. I've been driving one of the shuttle buses for a little over a month now, and despite the challenges of dealing with the public, (in vehicles, & in person), it's been a mostly positive experience.
As Patty and I have become accustomed to our daily routines, there isn't a whole lot of excitement, or new adventures to comment about on a daily basis. Even though I have tried to keep this online journal up to date with posts each day, it's getting a little harder to find interesting things to write about. The last thing I want to do, is blather about nothing. So, I've decided to go back to the routine that I loosely follow when we are at home in Lake Havasu. When there's something to write about, I will. When not, I won't. What that means is instead of daily posts, it will most likely be a few times a week. We'll see how it goes..........

Drag Race circuit, pulling the Harley-Davidson, Screaming Eagle merchandise trailer. In the summers of 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, Patty worked retail and I drove a tour bus in Skagway, Alaska. The summer of 2008, I worked as a supervisor for the Glacier National Park transit system in N.W. Montana. During the summer of 2009, we decided to travel, and completed a 5 and 1/2 month, 12,000 mile loop around the U.S. and Canada. During the summer of 2010, we traveled mostly in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon & Washington. We spent the summers of 2011 & 2012, working at the Grand Canyon, where I drove a transit bus, and Patty worked in the General Store. The winters have mostly been spent at our home in Lake Havasu City. We recently relocated the home base to Tucson, AZ.
