    I can't do the sims class lol I get sick with those machines. I scared the guy in Phoenix so bad the first time when I almost passed out that he remembers me on sight. LOL

    I go to the class and do the written portion but not the simulator.

    Wyld, I'm still getting used to how my truck shifts. Lately I've been in the Poconos, Smokies, Appalachians and very close to the Adirondacks. Driving in mountains has helped me listen more closely to engine sounds and to react more quickly to changes in topo. I'd like to say I've got shifting down to a tee, but that would be a lie.

    You're gonna get shifting and backing down enough to get past the tests and then, with your hubby's help, you're gonna get better and better each day. Sadly, though, there are going to be days when everything goes to hell and you're gonna feel like you're losing everything you've learned. Don't sweat it, the next day you'll amaze yourself with how skillful you are.

    Ed has not shown his "dry humor" just courtesy and teaching us to drive, not push the truck down the road. If I were a fella I would attempt to give Vickie a kiss, hmmm maybe then Eds dry humor would surface.
    lol
    I was severely abused by a female as a kid an kinda shy away from other females whenever possible. But have learned over the years to deal with it,,,yet when I am in a stressfull situation it kinda makes things worse.
