    spending the day hanging at Carlisle. Truck is at the shop - they said they were running behind (of course), so even though I dropped her off early, it'll probably be late this afternoon before she's done.

    Hope your day goes well!

    He didn't, unless he is posting from underwater...he is just ignoring us, methinks.

    Come on now, show Little Eddy some of that good Ol' Orange love...I'm up to my elbows in alligators and suffering from cognitive overload...

    It's only week one, let me get another week under my belt before I try to find my wit...currently I am witless, I have witnesses.
    Thank God this place has a pool; I just sat on the bottom for 30 minutes and meditated...bump and run, bump and run, bump and run. :biggrin_25511: :smt119:smt119

    Talked to my DBL today, I am western 11 but he asked how I felt about going east; promised not to ask me to go past Philly...

    Any chance I can do some bargaining with them? Agree to a couple of extended sessions in the mid-west and a PA-TN-GA line if they help me to get some time in say Columbus when "Thee" Ohio State plays or maybe make the Texas state fair for UT vs OU?

    If I am willing to work outside of my region I was hired for; question is how much can I ask for in return and to what degree should I expect them to play along?
    They better let me do a layover in GB so that I may visit hollowed ground.

    End of week one tomorrow.
    3 days in motel before a shortish OTR training adventure which will be week two.

    I was hired as Western 11 regional out of Fontana CA. Once I established with my dbl what I would and wouldn't do I went everywhere. Saw 40 states and eventually transferred to the 48 state board. My dbl was great and worked with me on everything. Get through the training dbl for your first 90 days and when you get your real dbl you can work it all out. Good luck!
