Subtitled: I ain't good sense...
I have been off on medical leave, due to chest pains, fear of clots, and whatever else.
One can only read so much, kill so many critters on the farm, watch so many DVD's...
I went "to town" and ran into a single mom at the store, that used to work where I do.
Oh! Hi! I could really really use your help!
I cannot describe it, still I just knew this was gonna be good...
Single mom never learned to drive a stick shift, has a son, age 15 and daughter age 11, and they were given by relatives a Datsun pickup truck, with a 4 banger and stick shift. Yeah, the classic old basic truck. Replete with rust, dents, and balding tires and...
Single mom and kids live on a farm/ranch, have horses and chickens and...
This truck will do some serious "property duty" they have a need for.
Like an idiot, I said yes...
Sometimes doing the right thing and passing forwardcan...well for one thing make your blood pressure rise, a concern the docs were already concerned about...
Then again, I never said I had good sense.
Daughter wanted to be first. I mean she knows how to "work me" and...
This gal took to stick shifts and driving, like duck to water.
Mom now, I just thought scared the crap out of me, until the boy got behind the wheel.
Perhaps Mentors and Elders were correct again when they shared there needs to be steering wheel and set of foot pedals in teaching some folks to drive, especially a stick shift.
And...going back to ER, the on call heart doc asked if I "done anything" to set me off.
I shared, I had given said driving lessons.
"Oh yeah! That would do it for sure!" - he replied.
