Raining In Portland

Hi all:
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but we have been on the go. My driver/trainer is on home time right now and I am sitting at a truck stop in Portland, OR. We arrived here yesterday afternoon. I drove last on Saturday night/Sunday morning and have pretty much slept since then. I am amazed at how much sleep I have gotten in the last 2 days. I must have been pretty tired. You don't really notice it creeping up on you, but exaustion hits like a ton of bricks when you least expect it. Friday night I drove I70 thru Colorado up in the mountains. I really hate that section. It was stormy and dark. I dropped down at about 15mph. I kept thinking in my mind that this would be a scarry section in winter (I am not looking forward to it). I thought we would just go up and over the pass, it was about 170 miles as it turned out, thru the pass. When we went thru there my first week, my trainer lost the brakes. I wanted to make sure that didn't happen to me. There were trucks flying by me on that pass and you could smell their brakes. Well, that's it for now.
