M&Ms

It would be hard to exaggerate my excitement at finding an M&M factory in my new back yard. Summer is going to be fun. Squeeze test says they are no more than a day old. Just thought I would share.

CDL

I passed my CDL Test and now have my license. Yeah. It wasn't pretty but it's over now. Yesterday I drove with Bro. Richard Cook's brother Dennis. It's a small world. The birds are starting to arrive for the summer. Here are a few I saw at Creamers Field Preserve. And to show that even the good life is not free of hazards

Upcoming Test

I went from forgetting what a bus looks like Monday morning to receiving an email Monday afternoon telling me I have my CDL Test Thursday. Ouch. Stressing! These are the checklists for the pretrip inspection I have to memories and do. I don't get to look at the list during the test. This is just the list. Each item also has function and defect to enumerate. The pretrip is one of four parts. The others are the Airbreak Test, the skills test (straight backing, offset backing, parallel parking, 90 degree parking, cone weave, and curb pull up, and then finally the driving test. Better get back to studying. Yes students some of us actually do that:)
