    Very well so far. We did 6600 miles from last Tuesday to yesterday. I train, he listens and we get along. You wanna talk about two different walks of life, he's a good ole southern boy listening to a Yankee. But hey, he's learning about life in the big city, and I'm learning about life in the small town. It works and he's doing very well.

    John, is that place you picked up at in the middle of nowhere? Where you have to drop your trl, hook up, drop that one, then put the one you brought in a door? Lovely little place. Nice folks.

    I had my 2nd level III today on 25E in KY, just before getting on I-75. Super nice officer. Of course it helps when you've got everything he requests and have a brand new trl, and clean truck inside and out. I almost forgot this is "hell" week, but when I came back fromvacation(10 lovely days off, several spent soaking up sun and much alcohol at the beach), a buddy reminded me and I picked a nice one from Canon.

    Actually loading right down the street from my delivery and headed right back by the house. That almost never happens. Shhhhh....don't tell anyone! I get to spend the night tomorrow night in my own bed.

    That's the place. It's the second time in a week my trainee and I have been there, I did all the dropping and hooking last week at 3am, he did it today at 10am. Glad you enjoyed your vacation. I'm taking mine in August this year.

    I'm home. Got to the parking spot at 1pm after dropping Jason off at his spot in Punta Gorda. I was packed up and out of the truck by 1:15. I'll be leaving out Tuesday, in the mean time my next 4 days consist of relaxing, swimming and a little more relaxing. Done, have a safe weekend all, see you all Tuesday, I'm back out.

    Home time will end tomorrow, then back to the grind. I need to call in tomorrow morning and see who is handling Marks board. He's in the hospital having tests done, I spoke with him last night, then this happens. It kinda puts everything in perspective. I'll have a load tomorrow, but my real concern is my buddy laid up in a hospital. Get well pal, I'll do my part.
