What Pat said... BOL to you and family (to be). I nearly decided on Baker's program, but opted for another starting in a few weeks. I don't remember seeing skid-pad on the ciriculum, but hear it's good experience. Also I have read on here resently about someone hitting a curb on the road test and was immediatly disqualified for it. Maybe varies by state? Anyway, keep up the good work. Glad to hear from you again!
