Yesterday we were on the city streets practicing our turns and coping with the 4 wheelers. Our instructor was very nervous and kept intervening instead of letting us get the feel of it ourselves. It was quite an uneventful time.
Today, we were on the highway. It was a much better experience as our instructor was much more calm and just let us drive. Our truck broke down today. One of the other students stalled the truck, and it wouldn't turn over after that. After several unsuccessful attempts of trying to get it started, we started to smell burning electrical wiring. Luckily, we broke down across the street from a Chicken Express...awesome food, and not nearly as greasy (or expensive) as Popeye's or KFC. There was a big snafu with how we were going to get picked up. Since there are 4 students to a truck and a training truck will only hold 6 people including the instructor, It was either going to take 2 separate trucks or a shuttle to come get us. Anyways...to make a long story short, our instructor told us to go eat as we were going to be waiting for the shuttle bus to come get us. About 5 minutes after we start eating, the other 2 trucks show up to get us! The lead instructor got ticked off at our instructor...some choice words were said, and our instructor quit right then and there. We got back to the yard and grabbed another truck to finish they day on. Here's me driving
Tomorrow is a half day, and we will be back out on the hill. Since both the day and night class will be there, I don't expect to get much drive time...if any...in tomorrow. Until then...
