    Glad to hear things are going well for you Seebs! So you're finally getting ready to hit the road? Congrats! I know you are happy about that. I plan to spend this week practicing the pretrip on my pick up truck so I can try to develop a routine with it. I picked up my bus ticket today and should be headed out on the 31st for Prime to start class on the 2nd. Thanks for all of the good info and please keep posting about your time out with the instructor. Again, congratulations!

    We are shooting for tomorrow morning. But now sure if we'll get a load by then. All my stuff is moved in the truck and we hit up walmart for supplies already. So we're both ready to get out there.

    Tried to do some backing practice today but the pad was full the whole day so we basically just ended up sitting around.

    Thanks!

    Nice pics man. I appreciate your taking the time to start and keep up this thread. I'm trying to get my ducks in a row and hopefully make it out next month. I had tons of questions and your thread has answered most of them. Am I correct in the fact that you have to get picked by an instructor? Is it like luck of the draw or what? It seems like the class sizes are so large that there would be a shortage of trainers. Anyway, I'm glad you're making it and I know you're excited about getting out there. Keep us posted if you can. Be safe and good luck.
