So, For Those of You That Were Wondering, I Made It To Moorhead, MN To Start My Conductor Training. Day 1 (Of Not Being an Entertainer): Made Sure the Suburban Had 3 Spares, Full Tank of Fuel, and Enough Provisions to Sustain Me For the Duration Of the Trip. Also, Swung By the Spartan to Get Those Drawers I Promised to Kevin Barbato. Day 2 (Of Not Being an Entertainer): After a 1600 Mile Trip, I Finally Made It To Moorhead. This Adventure Consisted of a Quick Goodbye From the Lincoln County Sheriffs Department, Two Flat Tires, a Plugged Fuel Filter, and a Breakdown 200 Miles Away (Will Be Diagnosed Later). After the Purchase of the WEP Key From the Truck Stop, Several Phone Calls To Mechanics That Were ...Not Available or ...Didnt Do Service Calls, I rented a Rental Truck and Trailer (That Only Did 45 MPH With the Trailer Loaded), the Load/Unload Time, I FINALLY Get to My Training Class, 8 and 1/2 Hours Late. (Was Planing On Being Here Almost 4 Hours Early.) If This Were Not Something That I Wanted, I Would Have Come Home... I Am Safe, Warm, and Really Exhausted...
