Good morning guys.
Great pics Brendon. I love the pics we have of my kids at the beach.
Pics of kids, sand, sun, and water are the best.

Well guys, first day with the big boss back after the cats were stolen, and after losing 6 or so patients in 2 weeks. Not gonna be a good day I am guessing. He isn't a happy person to begin with, probably not a good start.

LMAO @ Aaron's butt wiping comment.

I messed around in the mud for most of the day then filled up a few 55 gallon barrels full of nails.

Looking at getting my CDL now. Well actually studying and filling out paperwork and such. Found a sweet deal on a 92 Western Star tandem. 3 way spreader, 10' front blade 11' wing 460 horse CAT 18spd.

$22,000 for it. Could easily make it back within a year plowing for the state in the winter and hauling whatever in the summer.

pay extreme attention to the pre trip and brake test.that is where everyone gets in trouble. i have my class "a" now but originally started with a "b" and both times I tested i named every componant of the truck and said "it was secure or properly working". they can't fault you with checking extra equipment and not just their list

That and only take combination and air brakes. If you "do everything all at once" the inspector can ask you questions about the other endorsements to screw you up and you'll need all of your concentration to complete those two. The other endorsements are relatively easy (except for haz-mat) and only cost $10.
