    Well, I wouldn't recommend watching me try to do the cheer jumps and stuff...while you are imbibing liquids. I'm fairly sure you'd snort them out your nose. I'm short and stout. Not as stout as I was a year ago, but still not svelte. Someone asked me to try belly dancing, I told them my belly danced all by itself....(If you can't poke fun at yourself....)

    Lol I'm just concerned about the simulator test, a lot different than a real truck. Start my upgrade Wednesday at 1300h though. Get through everything, then head out next weekend with the flatbed trainer for 30 days

    JCW passed his sim at Orientation (he had his CDL on arrival) w/ no problems. Remember the old driver's ed sims? Things have come a LONG way since then. Wait...that was over 20 years ago for me. I would HOPE they've come a long way. You'll be a-ok, and I'll raise a glass (of water) for you when you tell us you passed.

    Well, JCW is currently in FL 240 miles from the drop in Plant City. The load is due the 21st, but will be there before the trainer's shift is done. The plan (I think) is to drop it, and get a load out back to SpringMO. Putting them there...Thursday at the latest. Maybe you guys can have a cuppa coffee or something. I'm mean. He has to live on the $$ on his comdata card. Everything else comes to me...so I can blow it on the electric bill, water bill, phone bill, feed bill, gasoline, food for the humans....I'm having a HUGE party, huh?
