    The little green book of double talk can be a pain, I am happy to report that there is an English translation of it available for sale. It puts the legalezz in words that a normal person can understand. You need to be careful with that in the bathroom, you could pass out from the excitement and fall off the throne and be hurt.

    Yeah, if you don't laugh you might end up screaming alot. You have to learn to just let thing roll of you, and not get too worked up with things. As for the comp claim, I think they would have fits with that... If would be fun to file that claim...:biggrin_25519:

    I laugh at most everything. Pain makes me laugh. Weird I know, but if I hurt myself I start to crack up. The harder I am laughing the more in pain I am in. My wife thinks I am nuts. I laugh at the weirest times too. Once this guy was screaming at me one night when I was bartending. He said I made him miss a dart throw that cost him like a hudred bucks because I turned the juke box off in mid-throw. He was redfaced and yelling at me so nastily that I thought he was going to have an anyurism. I started to laugh so uncontrollably I thought I would lose a kidney. I will never forget the look on his face. He just stopped yelling and stormed out. There were a few guys sitting at the bar and they were said "Holy Shiat, how could you laugh in his face like that"! LOL Makes me laugh thinking about it now. All I know is that I am sure I will see some funny stuff out on the road. They will make for some good times telling people about them.

    Well today I called myself a dumb F & @ K loudly on the way back to the hotel. That mad me laugh too. I stalled on Central Ave by Little Ceasars. I was not laughing when it happened I can tell you! I had an awsome run going too. I mean my shifts were like butter. I ran for like 45 minutes before that happened without so much as a grind. Dam it! Joe really didnt get on me. I think he realized how pissed off at myself I was. He told me not to dwell on it when we got back, but also not to do that on my cdl test. He said I am a safe driver and ahead of the game. Told me I just needed the weekend out of the truck to relax. I need a break. Feel like I might be getting a cold. Got a bit of a frog in the throat and a bit tired. Well I am off to bed early. I want to catch this thing in the bud.
    Stay safe all.

    Funny story. I never stalled until I was in my trainer truck and another guy. We were pulling out and gabbing and I stalled right there in the middle of the road. It happens sometimes. Just correct it quickly and safely.

    Stalls happen, but like hindsy said, just get it restarted, don't let it roll back, and get moving again. The key is to keep your head. You get all crazy, and things go sideways real quick.

    I did start right back up. I caught my gear and went on. We were heading on the downslope so no roll back thank goodness. It threw me off during the second half of my run though. Started to rush things a bit and I was grinding a little bit. Nothing dangerous but I wasn't nearly as smooth as earlier. Sometimes I am too hard on myself. I have high expectations which Joe said is a good thing but also said a learning curve means some good days and some not so perfect times.

    Ok....I have vented and I am officially over it! Lol. It's a new day..Saturday...some backing practice, shopping for the week and laundry. By 2pm I will have zero to do till Monday! Woohoo!

    JOE! He is a nut, kinda confusing on the way he use To train backing, he would just stand outside throwing his hands in random circles while looking at you! I had Brian as my main trainer he is awesome
