    It sure is more than wiggle wagons. I did FX/LH earlier on; building and breaking sets is 'nothing' in comparison. Double check, triple check, and then some. Yeah. (And don't forget to check the SEALS on the return hose.... well actually both; don't ask me how I know.) :(

    I don't know if I put it on here but my reason for a road test is I might have to leave my job. I can't do the linehaul and be away from home anymore. Sunday I shaved my beard off and when I took my daughter to school Thursday morning she was laughing at me and telling me I look funny without it. 4 days later.....I'm not gonna go four days without her seeing me every week so I had to tell Coke I need a delivery run or I gotta bounce.

    Talked to the OTR place today; if they deem my home as a 'safe haven' I can get here 2x a week, but that wouldn't help you. I'm just 'kicking tires' about that atm, anyway. Sure, 10K is a lot.. but then.... it isn't if I have to give up my sanctity of being able to be home. I'm just in a conundrum atm, myself.

    MAN i sure hope it works out for you. Just dang.

    It was fun while it lasted, I got to run more miles than new drivers at a mega without ever leaving the state.

    Kentucky is a great place to be. The horses are fast. The women are faster. However, the sheep are nervous.

    I knew a fellow that went to training the same time I did when I was at CR England. His favorite statement was "it doesnt matter as long as the critter is stump trained". Yes, Gary was very weird.
