CONGRATULATIONS!
Fantastic!
Way to go! Not familiar w Wilson, sounds like a good company. Best of luck, Driver!
Thanks, everyone. I successfully picked up my CDL in South Dakota and bugged out before the really cold weather hit. Then I found out the truck would be in the shop an extra day (oil change, new tires, etc.), so I popped down to Branson for the evening. The Ozarks are gorgeous in the winter sunset with a dusting of snow!

Indeed. I sadly, smell snow and another MRI scan. :( I prefer roses and mountains, too!

Yes, exactly: stopping to enjoy things along the way. This is as much about the lifestyle as anything for me. I'm grateful to be out seeing things instead of just staring at my same computer screen every day.
Thanks, TwoSides and Anne! I plan on doing some hiking tomorrow (it'll be a balmy 35 degrees!), so I'll look for Brett ;-). Anne, I'm happy to give you my magical binder if ever I see you... or I could mail it.
