    Good thing to catch it now and get it taken care of... than when you are starting schooling and get it caught. Then it would catch you off guard. This is just a little speed bump :D

    Neat vid Pain. I'd have never thought of having that in a box. I've seen small cars, as they carried my moms nissan in the back of a moving van when she relocated to Texas years back. Sprinters aren't that small though. You get 2 in there? I know you couldn't get 3, they're a bit too long for that. Did they chain them in? How'd they ride?

    So heres another update. I woke up early well for me lol at like 630am eastern time today and ran my way over to the international trucking school which PainNdaNeck ( nick) got me in contact with. I got the directions mixed up and got off at exit 72 off 94 near Kalamazoo michigan. When I relized that i had gone a little out of my way one of my first thoughts was glad i wasnt in a tractor and gettin charged for going out of the way lol. But Rebecca gave me the right directions found the place no problem. Got to meet up with Pain ( Nick) when I got to the office because he had some other info he had to give Rebecca. So I filled out a app for the school and got most the other paper work I had to do done taking care of. She said Im at about 98% done with enrollment, which all im down to is filling out some company apps she gave me and mailing them in and having to go back up for a follow up saturday on my physical about my high blood pressure. So pretty much everything is resting on these two things which Im done with most the apps she gave me already. So the fun part is waiting till saturday and seeing how im doing with the blood pressure. Kind of hard not to over think about just pretty much down to ONE thing that could effect the outcome of my future. But thats my update now off to read Kateys thread that ive started :)

    Train...you mentioned your height and wt. You need to start a regular regiment of walking. It need to be a fast walk for at least 15 mins to get your heart rate up.This will change your metabolism to "burn fat". When I was at TWA working in the office, I all of a sudden realized I was up to 200 lbs,so every day I did the walking thing and knocked off 15 lbs in a couple of months. Maybe it was that big bagel with a ton of butter that was the real culprit.
    Oh,and stay out of the fast food joints (heart attack in a bag)
    Good luck and have fun in your training.

    Take 4 benadryl 1/2 hour before your blood pressure test and it will help. Make sure to not drink any soda or coffee that day before you take the test. Also if you slow your breathing while they are doing the test it brings it down too! Try not to stress about it, definitely won't help.
