I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Close...so close. I startled the #### out of him when I barked at him to stop. He was hyperfocused on watching for traffic from the left and forgot to use the brake enough to hold still.

I think he was irate for a second there (who wouldn't be), but when he saw what almost happened he fell into line quick. We were inches from that black Honda.

 

I'm working on getting him to stop hyperfocusing on any one task. This job is all about skillful multitasking.

 

Anyhow all our trucks are automatics. You can't depend on the hill start assist too much. Uphill starts are a skill whether you're in a manual or automatic.

 

He did real good today except for that major hiccup. Six hours and only one lane control incident. Compared to his first day, which was one and a half hours of one continuous lane control incident.

 

The Guage is a good idea. I will make it my idea.

It is now my idea.

Now you owe me a quarter for every time you use it. Retroactively.

Alternatively, I'll accept a Corvette.

In yellow. Manual transmission.

 

Truck broke goat?
