    Man, that brings back memories. I grew up in S. California and used to go skiing up there every year.

    I can get very windy through that area. A little further east is Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Yucca Valley, etc. I'm sure you'll be driving through there a lot. There's a reason for all the windmills that you see, because of all the wind. :)

    Wow! The snow must have really knocked down the smog for you to be able to see the mountains like that around Fontana! That's usually rare! Hell I never saw Mt. Jarupa for the first 10 times I went to Fontana and it was across the street from the terminal!

    Today is done... Wed.
    Tomarrow morning I have my 75 minute drive test. When/if I pass it, I'll be done and just waiting for a trainer...
    I am setting on the floor right now with my notebook on a trash can in the laundry room in the hotel.... going to try to start off the trip right.

    Happy Dance.... Happy Dance... I have my CDL... Happy Dance... Happy Dance...

    Now I'm waiting for my trainer....

    The Driving test wasn't too bad. I did get close to one curb but it was either Hit a car, miss the curb and get DQ'd or miss the car, take a chance on missing the curb so I took a shot and made it....

    So anyway now I wait for a trainer... one thing that I'm worried about is, there are some guys that have been waiting now for 2 weeks for their trucks. Couple of them got off of their training back before Christmas....
    I'll check back later...
