    Ya, trainer tomorrow and I will be out with him for 2 to 4 weeks. Talked to him over the phone, seemed like a nice guy, just not sure about being cooped up with sombody for that long. Sometimes I don't play well with others. They told me that they might not have a truck when I get done with training too. We will see, wish me luck!

    By the way, be glad you were not in Fargo last week! -25F with out the the wind chill.

    fuzzface,

    If you have internet access, please stay in touch while you're training. It's been cold there, no doubt, but even in Virginia at my house, the temp. is currently -2, with a wind chill of -15 to -20.

    Don't know if I will be able to get on the internet for the next few weeks if I do get a chance I will post my experiences.

    fuzzface,

    I saw that you were online a few hours ago... how's it going out there? I head to Fargo tomorrow for orientation on Monday. Perhaps our paths will cross...

    JLD,

    A Magnum driver picked me up this morning to head to Fargo for orientation. I expect to be there Sunday night and start orientation on Monday. As I have time and internet access, I hope to start a thread about my Magnum experience. Thus far, according to everyone I've talked to, including the driver I'm riding with, Magnum is an excellent company. Congrats on the pre-hire and good luck with the rest of your school!

    Walleye,

    I don't chase carp, but I'm definately a bass fisherman... a southern one too! :)

    To a walleye fisherman, a bass is just a carp with a stripe on it.
