    Yeah I know how that goes, I had a road test with CFI several years ago with the safety man along and he nicked picked everything and did a bunch of scribblin on his little note pad, but I made it through town and back without hitting anything. I'm sure my little mistakes were nothing compared to the driver that turned too sharp while pulling out the driveway and ran his trailer off in the ditch .:biggrin_25513:

    It's been too easy and not going to believe it till I call back thursday and he tells to come to work. Everyone that has been looking fo job had better start filling out applications and checking back with companies because business is starting to pick up a little.

    I have never gone that long Badman, so I can see why You nervous but I would imagine You will be fine, just let them know it's been a while, one thing is for sure, it won't take long for You to get readjusted.
