Smile Finally got online

Well back in March I left for Ft. Benning GA for Basic Training (Army ). Now im in tech school at Ft. Lennard Wood for Truck Driving, right now were driving 5 tons, with some nice CAT I6 diesels . I got a mail saying I havent posted here in a while so I thought I'd post something. I should be back home around June 30th. It feels weird useing a computer again, can't wait to feel what driving the f150 feels like again. Only bad thing is I heard gas prices are high again, when I left they were around $1.30 a gallon, I think. I hear its more like $1.80 now. Hope I dont have to resort to a little honda mpg machine.

Well I gotta go, just thought I'd check out FTE and post something.

You must have been gone a long time.

I tell ya what - a FIESTA with the top cut off behind the drivers seat and a courregated steel bed is looking like the truck of the future!

When you pull up to the pumps the first time, count how many seconds it takes you to recover from the shock and let us know, okay bubba?

(I should ship this man some NATO rounds. If he ever does go overseas I'd like him to vent some of my anger...)
