    I did not, but asked one guy who was. He said it was good. I was told Kimberly made the chili (it did smell good, but I can't eat chili), her MIL made the cornbread muffins, and a neighbor made all the pies. I did have a slice of lemon chess pie and it was good.

    Better late than never, right?. Turns out there are 3 switches not 2 as previously mentioned. The bottom switch is the deadman, it has to be held open/on for the other 2 to function.

    I've had a 6 stop Jacksonville and Orlando area. Pretty sure Longwood was one of them. If it's the one where you back in off the street then it is rough. I got there late at night which helped as there was no traffic but sucked because the parking lot was dark. I did about 15 GOALs.

    Can you post a street view?

    I believe they use the La Quinta now. You have the room to yourself.

    No pay for orientation.

    Physical and drug test cost is deducted from your first paycheck. You get it back after 90 days. Physical and drug test is on your first day.

    I went to orientation several years ago so things may have changed.

    Oh, it’s one of.... those. :rolleyes:

    I can certainly see taking 20 minutes to figure out that infernal contraption. :eek:

    We use the aluminum fold-unders.
