    Don't worry, you'll pick it up, I felt the same way when I first started out with a trainer. Have fun at the Mother Ship, I try to avoid it at all costs.

    I kinda had to laugh when I read your post, I despise plastic, and for me starch is the easiest. Totally reverse of what you experienced, but I see why you feel that way since plastic gets sucked out of the rail car with vacuum while starch and the others you pressurize the rail car to blow it over to the trailer.

    Take notes of what is getting hooked where, they will help. A couple times I just recorded a video with my phone and walked along from the start point to the end point saying what hose was hooked up to where and why, that helped when I first went on my own too.

    Never heard of it. All I know is I felt like I needed to scratch my arm and happened to look down as I was going to do so and #### near jumped outta my skin.

    When it comes to bugs I'm a wuss.

    Thanks for putting that into my head. I try to avoid them at all costs but occasionally nature requires it no matter what I want. This morning at about 3am was that time. It was very hard to take care of business while trying to point the flashlight in every direction at once!
