    God now that I’m in Joplin I’m even a little
    More concerned over being sent home lmao. Idk why though. I know I can do a 45 alley easy. It’s basically an offset. And the road should be cake as well. Just getting jitters I guess.

    Stop fretting Ultratowel. You have survived the long bus ride now just get some food, relax and get a good nights sleep and go full steam ahead tomorrow with an open mind. You'll be fine and good luck with your training at CFI.

    I think it's 3 goal and all the pull ups you need...been a long time and I'm old and senile.

    Pay attention to the following address:

    Stop worrying, you will get in your own way.

    Road testing, backing, manuvering... are strictly to be sure you thinking clearly, putting you learned skills to work. Don't break any laws, do anything reckless and you will be fine. Worry is wasting time you could be resting.

    Don't be late for anything this week.

    Don't fall asleep during lectures, videos etc. They prefer you get up and walk around. They want to know you recognize fatigue and handle it.

    Enough said grasshopper...uh er Baby trucker.

    Ha inaplrc I ate it. I’m gonna take what your say earnestly and really try to not think so much. It can be challenging for me to not do so but it’s a good thing at times too. Can never be too safe.

    Mr and Mrs @Cerberus XVI we there last week... they probably remember more than me.

    You telling me you sat on a bus for 30 freaking hours with a guy that's been there done that and you didn't ask him?

    This facepalm moment brought to you by Baby trucker!!!
