    It is a sacrifice that BOTH sides make... I can attest to that. Klingon was an O/O 20+ years ago when we were raising our daughter (age about 6)... he wasn't even OTR (ran containers up and down the coast and near by states) and was home for a couple days every 2-3 weeks. So remember 'the other half' when you guys are talking about the 'sacrifices' YOU make... sorry - touched a sensitive nerve there...

    P.S. not directed at any one person :D

    The front vent flaps are stuck open letting in all the cold air. The entire dashboard is apart and the parts still haven't arrived.

    I am just glad that after everything you have been through, you are still in the game. Just start each being thankful you are working and you are healthy. You are responsible for what happens in your life, no one else.

    I asked for permission to go home for a few days so that I could be there for my daughter's birthday and the party for the both of them. So, I am now home, but the training liason is not giving me any info on when my phase 2 trainer will be available. She didn't seem to be happy about me going home. Oh well, I will call her Monday and see where I stand.
