    That's awesome LadyK! I am so glad your trainer is cool. Sounds like he may know what he's doing too! I think you are going to be very happy with your new truck. It's the same one my wife and I teamed in. (well same model) Drive safe out there!

    Actually the trainer doesn't have to if the truck is stopped. My trainer let me sleep on the bottom buck if he was going to get up and drive. If we were going to sit for a while I slept up top.

    Drove 10 hrs 19 minutes and 629 miles!! Yeah I'm proud of that one!! It would have been more but in Indianapolis there was construction and the speed limit was 50 mph... (that felt SO SLOW!! - LOL)

    Yeah - I can't wait to 'team' up w/Klingon!! I am really enjoying the driving and my trainer said that he feels completely comfortable w/my driving. I also got another back in today... a blind side back!! Yeah it was in a drop yard, with lots of room, but it was a blind side back :D

    Things are really working out well. Great trainer - we are hitting it off. No little habits that irritate - he tolarates me listening to the radio while driving (OK he has a hearing loss so that helps - LOL) and he is right there if I have questions and he doesn't get upset at all my questions. I highly recommend him. We are now in TN waiting to be able to drop at WalMart - so since we had 4-5 until then, I got in a LONG hot shower and feel wonderful - LOL! Ahhh - the simple pleasures. So far each shower place (2) has been decent. Still use the shower shoes - but nothing to gross me out (yet). So the day continues - and I can't wait to start this w/Klingon!! Well I guess since I'm sitting still and on-line I should look at the bills and email... sigh... real life kicking in - LOL!
