Agh! I ffffff.......
....fPASSED!!! Hah hah ah ha haha hahah! I passed! I can now drive practically any vehicle in North America that doesn't require specialty training. Wow! Who'd a thunk it?
Incidently, I pulled the same topic line joke on my Mother who has informed me that she loves me dearly but will smack me upside the head next time she sees me. Mom? You can rest at ease. I told Meloney what you said, and while I was typing away, she came up behind me and smacked me upside the head and said, "That's for you mother!" It stung a little. I'm sure you would have put more force into it, but can we be considered even?
So this is the team responsible for getting me through. The guy in the middle is none other that Willy my driving instructor. He is a very funny man, has a story for everything and won't hesitate to jump down your throat if you do or say something wrong. Did I do or say something wrong? Probably fifty times! But he got me through. The sweet little lady on the left is Jacquie who grudgingly allowed me to take her photo. She took me on my road test and put a guy who was so nervous that he could barely pronounce his name, at total ease. She's a sweety who'll dazzle you with stories of her family. The guy on the right is Warren. He's a fellow driving student who allowed me to come along on he lessons to view as much as I could. He also came on my lessons. So we learned from each other's questions and mistakes. I'm sure Warren learned more from me.
So yeah, I did it! Now I was supposed to go to Trican today to get some formalities over and done with, but we were hit with a little bit of inclement weather. It does't look it in the picture, but that was pretty well right after my driver's test, and that was six hours ago. It hasn't stopped.
So that's it so far. Um, I skinned my knuckle during the warm-up drive. You could feel a little bit of sympathy for me. C'mon! Cry for me! Oh, and I believe in an earlier post I made reference to the length of the tractor/trailor combo I was driving and said it was 54ft. I was wrong in my mathematical ways (actually, I just spouted of any old number in my head). It's actually 75ft. That's a long item to be cornering, eh?
