I want to put a coleman camping stove on board.
I love mushroom hunting, I still have 3 quart of dehydrated morels.. MMMM I can just taste those on a nice after noon at a rest stop with a NICE juicy Venison steak right next to the morels frying in butter....
But... I will probably need baby wipes when Im done.. to wipe off my face and clean the stove

Trying to attain my CDL with a WIA grant
I my self went through the work force program.
I was classified as under employeed.. During last winter (one of the hardest time of year to find a job in my area).. I started the program. All I got was do this .. do that.. we met the qualification then was told the funding wasn't there and I had to wait.. Then.. I had to make to required hours a week... married with 3 kids.. wife and I had to complete 55 hours a week. thats hard to do when you work retail in the winter and a snow storm hits and kids are out of school..
after all said and done.. we didnt met our hours , Rent was getting harder and harder to come by.. even with assistance, But since we couldnt physical do the 55 a week due to weather our assistance got sectioned . When people complain about welfare, we were on it and it SUCKED... Try to make rent/ utilities/water with $136 a month.. and when you dont get your 55 hours in they cut it $45..
Well it came down to the fact that our case worker didnt like my wife... so they went back 4 year and found a loan she took out of her 401K and tried to tell us we didnt claim it on our assistance and now the case worker filed suit with the state is trying to sue us for a payment.. from 2010 and we wasnt even on assistance then.
so all of this happened from Oct 13- last week in May... Finally.. I got my grant approved and did my training..
Now we are in the system as a fraud watch... until we prove that during the 2010 area where she got her loan we wasnt on any assistance. So now times are tough. but we are making.. I leave Sunday evening to start a oreintation ( for Con-Way) so hopefully in a few weeks we have a little food back in the house and have some of the bills caught back up before winter hits again. **** Daddy need a new bow for deer season!****
So best of luck to you all in the program.. it will get tough .. fight through it and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Experienced Drivers: How do you drive during Big City rush hour traffic on a major Freeway?
If it helps my trainer did the same thing to me...
But he took me through Austin Tx on a Sat. 5pm (5 days after getting my CDL)..... learning to downshift in traffic is a must! Just remember... you will only be on his truck for a few weeks and then you are on your own...... some of these trainers has been doing it for years and they want to help build you confidence up in traffic for having to react quickly...
When I got on the truck with my trainer I was told....... (you're going love this)...... He said to me... " I am a driver trainer.... Im not your instructor, teacher or friend.. Im here to make sure you can drive the truck safely and not kill me or someone else... This is my truck, welcome aboard, if you **** me off you are off my truck!"
For a second I thought I was back in boot camp ..
Longest 3 weeks I had to go through.... He liked Elvis and Nascar.... every freaking day... same old BS... to top it off..... he would sit in the passenger seat... talking on his cell phone... he would sit there and "POP" his dentures, pulled them out and asked me if I think he should brush them...
Luckly.... he was clean... showered on a regular basis (everyday)..
