To get my Haz-Mat endorsement back, I had to apply online to get registered, then go to a designated location where my prints were taken, then wait for mail notification that I was eligable for the test.
To study for the test, I disregarded the websites that wanted to charge me money, and found some FREE sample tests I could take, and took them over and over and over again until I aced them all.
Then I had to go to one of a few BMV HazMat test sites and take it. I still blew some answers, but passed. As soon as I told dispatch, they put me on this one from Norwalk Oh. to here (I refuse to spell this name again). This time, I was flammable and dangerous.
I was exhausted when I got here. Let's just say I had insomnia...yeah that's the ticket...anyway I checked into this hotel after dropping my trailer. (By the way, the appointment time and oversleeping on the dock had me really running hard. When I got here, nobody was home, and they won't be until monday. I could have taken all weekend. Dammit.)
Anyway, then I notice that my left mudflap and it's frame are missing. They'd just snapped right off. I went across the street to the T/A to get that fixed. The new one doesn't match--I don't care. Guys who care about that stuff on their commercial trucks...never mind.
Well (to back-track): My truck's cassette player started screwing up, so my audio books and Sirius Radio wouldn't play right. I got a new one at Wal-Mart, and the wires didn't match my truck's plug. So I'd been driving around with little headphones and my new radio in a box, hoping to get a CB guy to fix it when I had time.
But the service writer at the T/A just so happened to have done stuff like this for a living! he came over after work and put the thing in for me. Did a fine job too, using professional connectors that sort of shrink-wrap around the wires. Didn't set a price so I paid him 40 bucks and he was very happy. Worth every penny.
While he was at it, I hit the T/A and got a Sirius antenna bypass and had him put that in, so I could have the radio perma-wired and would have to keep switching the plug back and forth between my laptop (from which I listen to audiobooks) and Sirius Radio. Except that sonofabitch SIRIUS plug was the wrong one for my damn radio. (No wonder it had been re-packaged and was being re-sold.)
But it had cost ten bucks and was already in. I'd have to take stuff apart. So I'll leave it and know I can find an adapter some where to adapt my SIRIUS antenna bypass to my SIRIUS radio.........DAMMIT!
Anyway this radio has an input so I can just plug in. It's also a CD player. No more PIA cassettes.
I also found out how to take the panels off and get the radio out and stuff.
Ok now: Ted Kennedy was a marxist who did severe and irrepairable damage to this country. Every government intervention on the private sector made things worse for everybody, and every program has failed. He didn't care.
While Reagan was pushing the Soviet Union to bankruptcy, Ted Kennedy was Andropov's pen-pal, coordinating with the Soviet Premier in order to undermine the US President and his agenda. He did this because he was a fellow marxist who hates captialism.
Whene you are poisoned, the cure is more poison. You just tell the patient that it's a cure instead.
These people are evil, and their core supporters are stupid. The truth is not whatever you want to believe (as Obama once said, and every dictator before him). The truth is what you can't stand to hear or read, and why you're even crazier now that you were before you read that last part.
Ted Kennedy is dead, and the world is better off. Think with your damned brain.
