UNDERGOING MY CLASS HGV TRUCK TRAINING WITH TEST ON THURSDAY

This week I'm undergoing my training for my class 1 trucking license. Have test on Thursday, so I'm midway through training so far and so far, things are running well..

Bare with me as the next couple of days may see a little less imput by me in terms of this segment as I'll be rather busy outwith this blog... We shall see, I may have more time than I realise...

7 DEGREE LOW AT BODIE STATE PARK, CALIF

Also wanted to note that yesterday morning saw a very cold low of 7 degrees at the typical summer ice box locale of Bodie State Park, CA... That's much cooler than your typical 15 to 25 degree lows you'd see for this late on but it illustrates the cold air running back into the Western US...

Tomorrow I shall try and focus on the tropics as they're heating up.
