    We are woke. I think The OM turned off the alarm as it's already 0430.

    Must get that Tabby rolling.

    Welfare express has been hitting Craigslist here with claims of yearly income of 130k in flat bed.

    There’s something calming about enjoying morning coffee and watching the news (apparently the world is ending) going on about travel problems and realizing I only have 500 yards to get to sons house. I hope everyone gets where they want to be with whom they wish to be with during this special time.

    Back in The Good Life City after orientation at the Punkin.......
    4 drivers in the 'experienced' orientation.........
    Dude #4 doesn't show up
    Dude #3 doesn't show up for day 2, (says he's afraid the instructor has the WoooHan because the dude had a coughing fit).
    Dude #2 washes out of the driving portion of the program. Punkin sez it's ok and we'll train you. Dude says f it and goes back to Orlando to live with his aunt.....that he hates, (true story).
    Soooooo, that leaves me, The Dude.
    They gave me a hat when it was all over. Nice people.
     
    Speed_Drums, dwells40, Flint1 and 17 others Thank this.

    Wait a minute you’re saying an experienced driver washed out of the road test? What kind of tricks were involved? Asking for a friend.

    It wasn't that bad, but they are kinda strict.
    But this dude clearly couldn't drive. At the end of the test they take you to an obstical course. The entrance to the course is off a city street. It's wide enough, but you definately have to button hook it to get in.
    So, my examinier and I are sitting in her truck facing the entrance and doing a regen. Dude rolls up to the entrance, doesn't button hook, and drags about half the trailer over the curb and into the grass nearly tearing off the side skirting. My examiner and I both said, "Oh Lord......".

    So, my best advice to 'your friend' is that if you're going for a road test with frankly anyone but WE, don't tear up dey stuff.
