Anticipation....

I'm about to wrap up my last day of work as a West Virginia State Governement employee. I'm a little sad at leaving the friends I've made here. But I'm more excited about the upcoming events about to start taking over my life. Tomorrow I head up to Columbus to spend the day with the old man and get a good nights sleep. Then in the wee hours of Friday morning I'll meet up with the company chartered bus to head on into Wisconsin.

Green Bay STA here I come!

I'm running the full gamut of emotions right now. But I know with all my being that this is the right step for me to be taking at this point in my life. I know that this is where I'm supposed to be headed as I close in on my 28th year in this great world.

I think I'm pretty well packed and ready to go. My co-workers pitched in and put together a nice going way day for me today too. I even got a great pair of work gloves (which saves me money) and they're even pretty! Grey and purple! I know... the simplest things amuse me.

So I am not sure if I've really mentioned my upcoming endeavors which are taking me to Wisconsin. I will be attending Training and Orientation with the company. I'll be training for their Dry Van National Fleet (48 states and Canada eh!) and I'm so ready for it!

More than likely I'll be in Green Bay, WI for two weeks of training at their Student Training Academy and then I'll get to come home for a few days before heading out with a Training Engineer. I will then train with this TE for 1-6 weeks. I have no idea how long I will be out or anything at this point... but I'll post more about it when I know more.

I'm really looking forward to the many challenges I'm facing. I'm looking forward to seeing new parts of the country, as I've never been to Wisconsin... and you know I'm gonna be buying some cheese! I'm looking foward to getting back in the rigs and driving and learning new skills. I could go on and on with all the things I'm looking foward to. But that'd be a lot of typing!

So for now I'll say hasta la bye-bye and sign off this blog. It may be a while before I can post again, but I'm sure that by then... I'll have tons to tell!

Love, Peace and 5th Wheel Grease....

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
