Despite the fact that I take offense to the very word 'blog', I shall make a small attempt at using this...thingy.

Also, I claim dibs on having the first post with actual 'content'. >.>

I passed the Basic Rider Course and Motorcycle Operator Skills Test ('BRC' and 'MOST' as they were often referred to) and now have a pretty sky-blue certificate of completion to take to the Secretary of State's office and get my motorcycle endorsement. If the Secretary of State were open on Sundays, I'd already have my endorsement taken care of and officially making my primary mode of transportation one with two wheels and an engine rated in Cubic Centimeters.

I've got a nice collection going so far. My Operator License (standard drivers license, covers passenger cars), Chauffeur License (Required for operating vehicles between 10,001Lb and 26,000Lb Gross Vehicle Weight, or for the employed purpose of transportation of property or passengers(less than 16 people counting the driver)(except school buses)) with the Chauffeur I can legally operate a bus/taxi/limousine, now my Motorcycle endorsement. That leaves the 'S' certification for school buses, Medical Examiner's Certification for hazardous materials, CDL for vehicles in excess of 26,001Lb Gross Vehicle Weight or carrying in excess of 16 passengers or transporting hazardous materials in quantities requiring external placards.

The CDL has too many various ratings and endorsements to go into it all, basically, with the right endorsements you use a CDL to operate the biggest, heaviest trucks on the road.

On a different note, there's this spiffy little drag bar at the bottom of the text box while posting that lets you adjust the size of the box!
