Far more women would drive the coach...

if it weren't for the man who can't sit down, shut up, and leave her alone to do it.

So, she doesn't.

Nothing wrong with Heather's "down the road" seating position. She'll still be going 10 hours later...

Yes, get that steering gear and steering wheel centred, OCD OCD OCD

Men pretend they can do things, women just do them. I always preferred helping women to learn to drive, lots less BS.

happy coaching!

Up here, the problem is you need a commercial air brake license to drive a bus, and if I have a trailer or car behind the combined weight means I need a commercial weight license as well.  I got mine years ago, but with current regulations you need to take a course and pass road and written tests.  My wife isn't about to do that so I can take a nap...

For women that don't want to drive it's good is join FMCA or Good Sams for 50 bucks a year they will help her get home.
I am a little pissed about FMCA and their 100 mile rule though a friends wife needed some one to drive her home from 70 miles from here because he was admitted to the hospital and they refused because she wasn't more than a 100 miles from home so I went and drove her home  ???

Valerie has driven the bus on occasion, albeit illegally, because she doesn't have an air brakes endorsement. She is a good driver. She has driven lots of big vehicles. But she cannot be bothered to take the air brakes course. (It is done at a community college on a Friday night, Saturday and Sunday). So I do all the driving, which is fine with me, and her. And is more peaceful that way... Easier on the marriage...

I suppose most American cops wouldn't know that a Canadian driver needs air license to drive bus.

Our concern is getting the bus home. I could always just take the toad. But if we had to have somebody come and drive the bus, that would be a really expensive mess. If it was in a park the charges would add up quickly and what if they didn't have openings for the time we left it there? What if we were at some over night spot along the route, basically on the road. What if we were out in the middle of nowhere? We do that a lot also. Then there is trying to find somebody to drive it or just leave it there until when we do.

We have found a solution of the back seat driving husband. I go deaf. Like he does when he's driving. LOL

Scott you can make your own and here is how. Used to keep bee's Dave ;D

Visit your local established beekeeper. He'll have creamed honey on hand. Try it first, paying attention not to the flavor of the honey but to the feel and sensation of the crystals on your tongue. If they're appealing then buy some. They should be smooth edges not sharp.

Use that creamed honey to seed your clear honey by inserting a tablespoon or more into a jar. Then stir the crystals in thoroughly and put the whole thing in the fridge for about two weeks. Presto! You'll have smooth, non drip, spreadable creamed honey. Your own honey gives the flavor but the smooth seed crystals give the texture.

How does this happen? Our favorite golden liquid has a trick or two up its sleeve. If you give clear honey smooth crystals it will replicate them naturally. The term is 'following suit'. The small crystals prevent the formation of larger crystals. It's very similar to how yogurt and cheese are made, although they use cultures as seed.
