    2011 Expedite Expo Recognition

    I am where I was in 1995,at least weight wise.Working on my BMI,if I can get it a little higher,I believe the government would have to pay me to sit home as I couldn't get a job driving, do to their new regulations.Then I could watch Tv all day instead of driving my truck
