    The first vehicle that I ever drove was a 1955 Studebaker 2 ton truck that my dad had put tractor tires on the back of for mud riding. And yes, it was a manual. I drove it round and round a 65 acre field
    as a kid for years.  
    My Grandfather had a Studebaker dump truck from his home building business.  I learned to drive it in my early teens.  Later, my dad brought it to our house, and there was a period where that old beast was my main transportation.  This also included a few dates - wow she actually married me!

    That's funny.  Your dump truck wouldn't pass the "what do you drive" test administered these days.

    @blasting for sure but the options in the rear bed could have been pretty sweet.  Now today you may have to have a sleep number rig back there along with other toys  ;)

    I guess I was lucky, learned to "shift" on a '43 Allis-Chalmers (orange, of course).  Dad then moved me up to the Ford F-100 at 13 (me, not the truck) and when I got my Babemobile Maverick at 15 I could pretty much take it from there (3-on-the-tree, RAWK!).  
    All four (EDIT:  three now) of my vehicles are manual transmission.  When my '01 Saab finally goes my next car (IF there is one) will have paddle-shifts, which makes me uneasy.... 
    oh no. We laughed our asses off.  He had a great time between stalls.

    I learned to drive stick on farm roads in Oregon while visiting my uncle when I was 14 or so in his F250 single cab.  My first car was a manual Jeep and I’ve driven forklifts that have a clutch.  I’m only 37 so that wasn’t all that long ago but it’s crazy that even sports cars don’t have manual (real manual, not electronic paddles) options anymore.  While I’d like to teach my kids how to drive stick I’m afraid I won’t have access to one when the time comes.

    That says heaps about who instilled that attitude in them. It's better to try, fail, and learn, than to never try at all. Says so much about Amy's character.

    Boarding a plane to ABQ again.  Out at Sandia for the week.

    I am flying through the Atlanta airport.  Kind of a bonus.
    Don’t forget to grab some Popeye’s!!!
    Sadly, my connection was a full on sprint from the end of one terminal to the next.  I just had enough time to see the Popeye’s, not enough to stop and order.

    Damn you to heLL, Atlanta-Hartsfield.  Damn you to hell!
    The airport Gods got you, that will teach you to talk bad about Hartsfield...

    That’s a good thing brother yolk. At one time, almost everyone could drive a manual. It’s sadly becoming a lost skill as of late. 
    I’m 30 years old. Never driven a manual. 
    When I learned to drive, 30 yrs ago, I learned on a stick.  It was mandatory in my family. 
    Me too, 1965 Volkswagen. You could shift that pos without the clutch...

    I backpacked up on Mt. Washington while in college and hiked up to ride Tuckermans Ravine one day.  Avalanche danger was too risky and the winds were howling, it was February after all (2005).  We still rode the lower areas and had fun riding off the mountain with our overnight backpacking gear.  Harvard has a cool mountaineer cabin on the mountain that we stayed in for I think $10 a night back then.  Not the Four Seasons but a roof over your head and a wood stove to drink and tell stories around at night.
