THE ITALIANS

Here is a foto of my friend Rick TOSI in the middle, with two friends from ITALY. LUCA, on the left comes most every year to hunt for a week with RICK. He usually ring others as well. This year it was RICARDO TOSI. NOTE that RICK and RICARDO have the same SIRNAME. LUCA and RICARDO will be going home in about a week.

WHITE DEER

Am TAH.. did a little hunting, saw a few, shot none..attached are a couple fotos my friend RICK took where he lives. NOTE that this is perhaps a ONE-IN-A-MILLION occurance.

I leave out on the road again on tuesday, after they upgrade the new technology in my truck. I'll also be taking out another new student with me for two weeks. Will send updates then.

MORE FOTOS

Here are a few more fotos from my recent trips west and north.. some others didn't come out very well.

GANDOLF

This is GANDOLF, my friend RAY's "BEST FRIEND". Last week while at Gary, RAy and I went to get his DINGY out of the water, and GANDOLF kept us company. He's really a gr8 dog!!

While at Gary, I released my student CHRIS. I was since messaged that he did pass his SQT. He should probably have his truck by now.

Since I left Gary, I finished my load to Roselle, Il, picked a load from CHICAGO to Jonesboro, AR. RAn a 3 stopper from West Memphis, AR, Memphis, TN, and SOMERSville, TN to Chesapeake, VA. Next a couple short loads around Chesapeake, and one up to New Hamshire, and then Maine to Atlanta GA. I'll finish this one on Monday. Am at our OC in Carlisle, PAfor a DOT10. Took some intersting FAll FOTOS, will post them later.

NEW STUDENT

Well, training is up and running again limitedly..this is CHRIS (SEE FOTO), my latest student. He's from Chicago, and seems to have a lot on the ball. He's been with me for a week now since my TAH. We've been to 7 states so far and are on our fourth load together. Today we're taking time to work on his trip planning. Tommorrow we head fro a few stops in IOWA, and then back to ROCKFORD.

TAH - With feet in a tree

Well, I got home in time for opening day WHITETAIL SEASON. Spent two days with my feet in a tree or three. May try again tomorrow, before I go out on the road again. Will attach fotos if I get some.

I did see 6 deer on opening day, but only one came reasonably close (+/- 20 yards) for a shot. Being borderline, I chose not to take it. Tracking a wounded deer, worse yet, losing it isn't worth it.

Got a call from Greenbay telling me I'll be taking out a student again from Chicago. That will be on Monday.
