    Be careful Culvers can be habit forming... They are some of the best burgers around, and they are all over the midwest.

    Ahhh Sunday. Slept in this morning. Did all my homework yesterday after practicing the pre-trip inspection so I really have nothing to do today. I had breakfast with the whole family via Skype and went to walmart to load up on stuff for the week. I budgeted approximately 50 bucks a week and just spent 55 and that was only because I needed to get antifreeze for the old Exploder.

    It's 10am and all done with everything I really need to do, except for my in room workout. I brought dumbbells and my exercise ball. Going to work up a nice sweat before heading to the pool and spa!

    Wifey signed up my 2 year old for ballerina school she calls it. She is so dammed cute! Sorry but I couldn't help myself. I am in for it with her as she takes after her mommy and is going to be a knockout!

    You really can live nicely while in school at Roehl on about 40-50 a week for food and drinks. Oh well, I had better get my workout started or I will get lazy and won't do it. See ya all later!

    Lived in the Marshfield area for around 25 years so I can suggest one other place to eat close to your motel. Try the Oriental resturant next to Festival Foods (just a walk out the back door of the motel and around the apartment complex). Ate there last December when I signed my truck on with Roehl. Have a good buffet. The Family Resturant that is more in the middle of town next to the movie theater is also a great place to eat with decent prices.

    I hit the Chinese buffet the first day I got here. LOL It was pretty dammed good! I saw that little place in town and figured it would be good too. I have enough money to basically go out to an actual restaurant like once a week. I did the buffet the first, Culvers yesterday, I will put that place in town on the list for next week, though the thought of Culvers again is calling me. LOL

    Guess he and his brother used to be pretty good on sleds. If they don't remember me just tell Brian I am the 300lb motocrosser. Lol.
    The streets should be getting very comfy now. Joe might've taken you past his home and shown it off. Lol. This week is for fine tuning your skills and habits. Saturday will be fun because you are just working on that 45. Hope you're having fun too. Its serious there but they do have a little fun. Lol

    Both Joe and Brian said to say hey! The remembered you right off. Yes definitely having a good time. It's in my nature to have fun at everything I am doing or why do it. I do know how to turn it off though when neccessary. You definitely have to know that this is serious business but I enjoy it.

    Today was good. After class we headed right out to drive. Actually learned the fueling procedures first but went right onto the streets afterwards for most of the day. The days are flying by! I had a great run in the morning and then the other guy in my truck got his shot. He did really well! I was very happy for him. Got another run in before lunch and was almost flawless except I came close to a curb. I didn't hit it but Joe got on me a little bit.
    We went out after lunch on an unfamilar route and did pretty well. My co-driver didnt fair as well this round. He is slow on his shifting and keeps grinding and missing gears. He actually hit a curb and Joe got on him. I kept gritting my teeth and hoping he would get it. He actually does ok on the backing though. I told him his "slowness" shifting is helping him in his backing. My NY speed is great for shifting and hurts me a bit on the backing. I am learning to slow down though. lol
    Well time for homework. Atlas exercise and some reading to do. Onwards and upwards! See ya all later!
