On April 16th, Bubba will be 15 years old.
That only means 1 thing.
It's time to get the drivers permit.
Bubba is always asking us if he can drive, we say NO, of course, you arent old enough yet.
That turns in to "Can I just go around the block?" No.
"Can I just back the car out of the driveway" No.
"Can I start the car?" N... wait? Oh, start the car? Its a good 30 degrees, out, heck yes, please, go start the car! And crank up that heater while you're out there.
Lets go back for a minute, to about the beginning of December...
One morning before school, Dennis, on a whim, asks Bubba if he wants go out and start the Tahoe. Bubba grabs the keys and flies out the door, and returns a minute later. They wait a good 10 minutes or so, excited about hopping into a warm, defrosted car, and get to school. While walking out to the car, Dennis noticed that the Tahoe sure was quiet, but whatever. They climb inside and its freezing cold, and the heater is blowing full blast, icy cold air! The Tahoe wasnt even started!!! Bubba turned the key, and the fan started blowing, he thought that meant the truck was started!!! After a short lesson, Bubba can now successfully start a car. And we have been toying with the idea of taking him out on a back road and letting him drive my little car. And today we did just that....
He did good for his first time.
