    Oky Cookie lol. I do miss hearing from ya'll. We are in Az for the weekend, deliver tomorrow, then preplan to LA sigh, but keeps the wheels turning. The ol girl is coughing an has a hitch in her giddy up so we are gonna have the shop look at her after we deliver before we pick up new load. Hope nothing serious as she has run well for us an is comfy. Got to see our son an grandkids over Thanksgiving which was really a blessing.
    Nana let me know you are still about, miss yas.
    Luv you gys

    Sitting in Wichita Ks atm. Beautiful day here. Finally got a preplan this evening. Been doing alot of backing n hubby is trying to teach me to shift w/o clutch lol, been a work in progress. Everytime I mess up I switch to double clutching lol. I do fine upshifting its the downshifting when the trailer is light or empty that gives me the trouble. I still have time so will continue to learn lol. Backing w/o the cones is a challenge also. Wahhhh I miss my cones lol. Sigh, hubby tries real hard not to laugh or shake his head, cause I will slap him upside of it if he does, but there are times he just cracks up. Today I said I wanted to try to fix my back on my own an he was almost rolling on the pavement. Course I went entirely the wrong way, but heck thats how I learn best. I straightened it out an put er in n he says I coulda told ya the other way, but I said then I wouldnt be learning n we had the time n no one in the way so let me be lol. Other than that things are going quite well. Been keeping in touch with a couple of classmates an they are doing oky also.
    Miss you gys
    Luv you gys

    Hey Wyld and Hubby,
    Things have sure changed since my computer crapped about a month ago. Sounds like you two are doin' the deal. That's great! I read where you were in Laredo a couple of weeks ago. I was there Friday, Dec 3. Dropped a loaded trailer then shut down at the terminal about 1400 but got planned out around midnight. I'd hate to think we were there at the same time and didn't get to meet. Anyway, I'm so glad to see ya'll are moving in a good direction. Right now I'm on hometime and using my dad's computer (ha, he's 85 and loves it!). I'm gonna get a new laptop tomorrow so I can keep up once I get back on the road Sunday. I've sure missed all the goings on around the board.
    Stay safe,
    Oldnew...
