Tributes to Rick Wright of Pink Floyd

I am fan of Pink Floyd and have been for many years. Over those years we have all witnessed the their trials, tribulation and conflict.

When Rick Wright died I was saddened and oddly equally curious as to what happened, what tributes would be written and how he would be remembered.

Of course the David Gilmour site poured tribute after touching tribute and no doubt deserving as he and Gilmour were very close.

Being inquisitive I thought I would take a look at the Waters' site just to see if he had the decency to put up a tribute. I was touched by what a class gesture he had made.

Come on October 7th

Well, feel like I got some traction in a number of ways the last couple of days.

Firstly my Blog is what it is....I managed to get the whale background to work, got my map imported, hacked the font a bit......mmmmm.....geeky stuff.

Secondly, I rocked the road test today for an undisclosed company. After being off the road for a couple of years I was afraid I would be rusty. I did miss a couple of items on the precheck and a couple on the air test but all in all it felt great.

Also was able to hook up with Lyndon. It was good to put an msn chat to a name :)

I told the tester that pass or fail I was having a blast.

Now it is time to get out of dodge and get on the road.

Blog Set up

Sheesh, I figured I would have had an easy time setting up my blog. I have a crap load to learn.

I have been trying to add a map so my family can see where I go from day to day. That was a bear.

Starting to take some shape now.

Well i think we are almost ready for prime time. I need to thank (althought he doesn't know it) Lyndon001 at H and R. I didn't steal his code but did get some ideas from his site.

Well coffee with H and R tonight. Updates to follow.

Countdown to New Life

Well, have made up my mind. My family helped. Going to take the plunge back into trucking.

I will continue this blog from time to time as a diary of sorts. You can follow my adventures as I go where most people don't care.

Hoping to start and H and R out of Lethbridge AB on October 7th 2008.

Stay tuned.
