    Try adding a "LOL" or a :laughing-guffaw: - we don't have any body language to associate with it to indicate the "laugh now" cue card has just been held up.

    All you have is letters, words, sentences, paragraphs (if the writer can find the RETURN key), and an occasional emoticon. One of the downsides in this new correspondence...

    Sometimes I forget text does not translate tone very well in these forums. Especially when confined to posting via these maddening phones with dumb touch-screen keys.

    Now, from a regular computer, I can post long enough to leave no doubt without use of silly emoticons and the like. That is, if you can handle reading a novella.

    L-O-L *wink*

    Hello all,
    Sorry for lack of updates been busy.

    Overall everything is going well. I should be going back to Springfield in the next few days to test out Friday or Saturday.

    I've had some interesting situations, we have hit one deer and almost hit 3 others, our windshield was busted by a rock.

    The other night while making a turn a four wheeler decided it would be smart to start moving up past the stop sign while I was mid turn and tail of my trailer almost took their front end out luckily I noticed it and hit my brakes. Other than that everything been going smooth my backing has gotten better however I tend to over think it and them mess my self up.

    My trainer is unable to take me for TNT due to his wife is not doing well so he has to stay on the olney dedicated so he can be close to home and they will not allow TNT on dedicated Walmart.

    I'm loving it so far, still want to go flatbed but my guy is Reefer obviously, I may go reefer then go flatbed later on I'm not sure it'd be awesome if I had a flatbed TNT then I could get to see both sides of the coin.

    I'm looking forward to the test I have pretrip down pact and the in cab even though I sometimes stumble with the wording they want for the brake test. We are going to do a couple days of practice on the pad since I've yet to so any pad time all my backing has bee. Dropping trailers or backing onto the docks.

    I'll try to remember to keep y'all updated usually by end of the day after shower and eat I'm tired and go to bed.

    I'm sorry if this is typoed or anything typing it on my phone and I have sausage fingers so yeah. Lol

    Rock n roll, baby!!! Sorry about the change in TnT plans, but I'm guessing you'll be snapped up right after, or even before, you get back to SpringMo. Perhaps a lucky skateboarder will just happen to be there...ya never know.

    We should be back there Thursday or Friday to prep for my own test out. I may do it Saturday, as well, but perhaps Monday. Not sure if they test on Sundays...

    Either way, see you there!

    Been looking like things have been going well for you so far.

    Good luck on your test out. Don't think you will have any problem at all.

    PEACE
