Now your making me hungry. I haven't had Snapping turtle stew in a good while. Now I am wanting some.
Mmm, the last time I had turtle stew was something like 35 years ago! Cajun style would just have to be awesome! I love anything Cajun.
Hey Turtle, I'm heading to prime this weekend too. I've been a nurse for 20+years. While I love my job I've always wanted to be a trucker. Nows my time to follow my dream. Good luck to you.

Good luck to both of you! Prime us an awesome company and a great choice!
Lisa, I was a nurse for almost 20 years as well. There are a few of us refugees on here.

Good luck to you as well Lisa. I hope to see you there. I'll be the one who looks like that dude ^^^ (minus the Labrador) lol
Thanks Kanelin!
I too was a Nurse for 20+ years. Just wrapped up CDL school this week and going to Swift orientation the 28th. Nervous but looking forward to it. Just hoping I click with the trainer. Btw, CDL in 3 weeks was pretty intense with lots of external as well as self induced stress. Or maybe it was all self induced.
If only we could have learned shifting in a bobtail around the parking lot rather than pulling a trailer through rush hour traffic and active school zones. 
CDL:

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.

Bobtail:
"Bobtailing" means you are driving a tractor without a trailer attached.

LMAO Your dad and mine sound a lot alike! My dad used to shine shoes as a kid. He was slow at it and the older men teased him with the nickname "Rabbit". When I was a kid, they called me Little Rabbit! My dad also says "I have two speeds, slow and stop!"
Main reason why I asked is, well, I'm a Cajun and turtle sauce-piquant is DELICIOUS, so I end up getting hungry every time I see your handle...
