today was not as good as the others. backing is easy till it gets too off track then it becomes hard lol it is easy to over correct then start weaveing. practice practice.
did a lane change that went pretty well.
I hooked my first trailer went like butter. the second one not so much
we had some one from the rail road do a lecture on RR crossing safety. that was very educational
I got to drive the W900L again she leaves soon. we are supossed to get 2 petes i look forward to that.
Monday we go on the road don't quite feel ready but I have no worries.
may be going to crowder august 22

just wondering for the backing part if you feel as though you get enough behind the wheel driving to practice?
-

Hey Blktop -- I just talked to my family back in Bellows Falls and it sounds pretty ugly, Brattleboro is worse. Hopefully all of your family, friends, or what have you are safe and dry. If you have not already seen them there are numerous videos online. Flat Street is now a river. A bunch of the area bridges are now gone, traffic will be mucked up for sure.
blktop-bucanear Thanks this. -

week 2
monday monday I hate mondays lol
we started out on the sim again. lane changes. did ok got better then we did our first road trip. every body lived . missed a few gears on the down shift. but overall not to bad.
then back to the sims again and lane change wen to poop wish we had more time behind the wheel 9 people 2 simulators kinda sucks.
also we had 4 people in the truck it was too many.
well that's it for today time to do my loggszebcohobo, Crzyseekr, NHL_fan and 1 other person Thank this. -
had our first road test. did ok i passed. still issues with down shifting. took 1 corner a little to tight. need to watch the mirrors a bit more in the turns.
overall i felt good.
after lunch was back on the lane changes. getting better i have a better understanding of the principle. still too slow and too many pull ups.
but getting there. -
Way to go man! It's good to see your own improvement. It's a confidence builder. Keep up the good work bro.
blktop-bucanear Thanks this. -
Just popping in to say that you have good teacher(s) at Crowder. I went there last year and had Darrin.....stopped in a couple of months ago when I was home and saw that John was doing the Boot Camp....if any of you smoke, give one to John and say it's from Anna....LOL
