    Well, I'm heading for the land of Black and Chrome on Sunday. Couple weeks earlier than I was planning, but I'll get to start running and earning that much quicker.

    Looking forward to running with you boys soon.

    Did all the fun paperwork and drug testing stuff today. Road test was rusty at best. Two years off, a truck I've never sat in before let alone drive, plus a tranny I've never shifted before all worked me over like a champ today. Nothing a little seat time won't solve though. Looking forward to the rest of the week.

    I'm in the class with George. He's hilarious. Makes learning a lot of fun. That transmission has me totally terrified but I'll get it and you will too. Keep your head up!
