how is babby formed

So, I just arrived in Steamboat Springs, CO. The home of the sundance film festival, which happens to be going on RIGHT NOW. Fucking cool, Ill post any pics I get of famous celebrities. lol.

so I didn't see any celebrities :(

but here are some of the pics I took

it looks like a fucking coors light commercial out here

Awesome.  I can't wait to see that kind of stuff.  I take my retest on Tuesday, and thankfully, my financing dates have been pushed back.  I keep getting calls from Werner, though, and I'm not that interested in them.

Awesome pics beneboi

Good luck with your test tomorrow!

I am going back on the road Feb.1. One good thing about this job is that it makes you really appreciate down time.

is it hard turning those big rigs around corners ? I can't imagine being able to drive one of those things.

it isnt hard, but you have massive blind spots

My instructors called wide turns "taking up all your real estate."  I love making turns and watching people (in their tiny cars, with very big eyes) back up.

get back to work already, ffs.

Got it!  I finally got that fucking CDL (After THREE test day delays, starting at one week, and ending two weeks after I disqualified). Missed something like 12 points, mostly proper gear selections and mirror checks in turns, but I fucking got it.  Now I have to debate whether or not to call back Werner.

can someone pin this thread?

with two truckers now, it's dynamite.

Really?  Then no offense intended, dr. lopez.  I didn't think talking about driving trucks was that interesting, but I suppose there are beneboi's pics and such, so if it floats your boat . . .

lol,

i really do want this pinned. really cool.
