And Nothing today. Not even a call saying-we are working on getting you a Mentor. If I get nothing tomorrow I'm jumping ship.

The private school I went to was 154 hours done in 3 weeks (15 days). If you passed, great, if not you could stay on another week and hone your schools. If you needed to stay another week they would keep you, but they would charge $125. The most it's taken anyone was going into that 5th week. The instructors were licensed examiners so we did all of our DMV testing right there at the school. It was intense-but we made it.

I'll get assigned another Mentor. My first one decided quickly that I wasn't going to work out for him and that left me high and dry on Saturday. Which is fine. Rather get that figured out before I got on the truck. Some statements he made:

"I'll tell you how to do something once. If I have to tell you a 2nd time, we will have a problem." "If you don't know how many points there are on a pre-trip, we are going to have a problem" "I'm a Diamond driver and I'm not going to loose that because of you"

And a few other choice statements. Once he realized that none of that was sitting well with me he made up a story to give to dispatch and left. I spoke to them and then said go home and we will call you on Monday. So they called and I'm waiting for them to call back.

Welcome to Trucking! LOL :)

(I'm here all week folks. Tip your servers and bartenders).

I love the food and the shows too... My father was a Gambler. Hard Core. I don't even mess with the slots or black jack. If I'm going to gamble I play craps and I win. But that takes a bankroll and time. And nerves of steel. And time... as I get older I've lost all of that.. lol

And my Grandmother was one of the ladies with Mrs. Cooper when she was killed...

That's the school house in DeBorgia that I mentioned earlier.

More fun facts for Jopa-Back in the day, there was a terrible thunderstorm one evening. Three ladies left church and were walking home during the storm. As they passed in front of the school house, a lightning bolt hit Mrs. Cooper. It went in thru her left eye and blew out her right shoe. It was raining so hard, the other ladies had no idea what had happened until the next day when they found her body. That same bolt of lightning hit the Man in the UpUp Lookout tower over 15 miles away. Killed him too.

This is the Man who's mother I mention.

I've not seen one of those films in 30 or more years-but they were sooo funny at the time. The Coopers are legends now in those parts.

Vegas Baby! :)

And you know-the river next to I-90 coming down out of the mountains is the Clark Fork river... the very same river as in 'A River Runs Through it...'

:)

Next time.

Fun fact: There are more people buried in the DeBorgia cemetery then there are alive in the town. Maybe that's not so fun... lol But the tomb stones in the cemetery are fascinating. They go back. WAY, way back....
