Driver confidence day
12-2-14
Today was driver confidence day at the Lazydays learning center. We began with a light breakfast then gathered in the classroom. Our instructor, Bob Bergeron, is a New Hampshire native from New London. He has held his CDL for many years and at one time thought state employees how to run highway plow trucks. Bob not only possessed real experience, but knew how to pass his knowledge on to us in an interesting manor.
Each student regardless of their personal experience learned something new or a better way to do something old. The 2 hour lecture whizzed by.
Ruth decided to attend the next seminar "cooking with convection/microwave ovens" so I took that time to check on Oscar a catch a few winks. For some reason I got less than 2 hours sleep last night.
When we met up for lunch, Ruth had made a new friend, got the personal email of the chef teaching the class, and I was able to keep my eyes open.
At 1PM we gathered in the parking lot for the driving portion of our class. After Bob drove the corse we each took our turn benefiting from his guidance. We all passed without any damage to the brand new motorhome, landscaping or other vehicles. Some who had never been behind the wheel amazed themselves. So easy with the proper instruction.
As a side benefit Ruth and I met some other rookie owners. One couple was actually parked just behind us in the CG. Skip and Karen are from Atlanta and had purchased there motorhome just 2 days ago.
It was easy to strike up a conversation when we returned to the CG. In fact we talked right through the dinner hour without realizing it. Oh well cheese and crackers tonight, with pineapple chunks for desert. Tomorrow we'll exchange contact information so we can keep in touch.
Nothing planned for tomorrow, so I feel a road trip to the beach coming.
