Truck Drivin’ Man
Truck Drivin’ Man

Dad drove a truck for a living and he was good at it. He could back one of those semi trailers into a narrow spot with just one try. I remember some years ago at his retirement party it was mentioned that for all his years of driving a truck he never had one accident on the job. That was a rarity back then and I expect it is still today.

So nowadays, for him, driving the motor home is a piece of cake. The other day I went along for a ride and it quickly became evident that there is a lot involved in driving these big vehicles. Yet, he takes his time and keeps a close eye on the cars around him. There are times when has to pull into the other lane to get enough room to make a turn. And there are times when it looks like he is getting pretty darn close. But I learned a long time ago that, when it comes to driving, my dad knows what he is doing.

I’ve been kind of busy lately and haven’t been very active on flickr. Today we are getting on a plane. So I will have to catch up when we get back.

Take care everyone.
