    Well I just completed 1st day of orientation at the TMC Des Moines training center. Its currently 26°.. Done necessary paperwork, physical/drug screen, written tests, and road test.... Those Pete 587s are a complete different animal from a Cascadia.... Did OK... Things should be better tomorrow, with more rest... We came in late, due to me having to turn around, because my wife call me and told me I accidentally left my SS card at home.... I was already 2 hours out.. Started off rough... Made it in at 10:15 pm, checked into my room, gassed up the rental and dropped it off..
    First day in 4 hours of sleep was HELL.... Will check back in tomorrow after 5...
