    Day 11, Passed my road test today! Only got dinged 3 points! 1 for a small grind on a gear and 2 for rubbing a curb on a really tight turn!
    Next 2 days are air-off and pump-off training, then OTR with a TE for 10 days!

    Day 12, Pump Off training, done! It was HOT, HUMID and Pouring RAIN! Tomorrow is AIR Off training and more of the same weather! I was told that I go out with my TE on Tuesday, so looks like I will have 2 days off, I hope the weather clears up a little so I can get another ride in before I go!

    Day 13 Air-off training DONE! So now I'm waiting on the call from my TE, getting packed and ready to go! Hard part is done, the rest is just practicing what I just learned, with the SQT at the end of about 10 days. Best part of today was it was only about 80 degrees! Had a front moving in so it was overcast all day!

    You think today was nice, wait 'til tomorrow. I'm about 180 miles south of you and it never got above 72 here, and the weather we have is headed toward you right now. It's supposed to be nice all the way into Tuesday, at least.

    Day 14 Just sitting in the Hotel watching a little Football and Nascar! Still waiting on my TE to call me and let me know when we go out. Will get a 34 hr reset out of this at 5am Monday so I will start off the week with 70, ready to go!

    I've been following your experience because I'm considering the Big Orange. How many miles did they tell you to expect a week??
