Birthday Present
I am now the proud parent of a teenager. No, I'm not ready and I know it! 
<br><br>He received a few gifts today, and some more are on the way. <br><br>The one he liked the most was getting to drive my truck up to the top of our 1/2 mile private road, and back home. Even managed to be seen by a couple of friends. Not his first time driving a standard transmission, but this was a bit different from my trail Jeep. (A dent would be noticed on the truck 
)<br>As expected, he did well, but did take quick note of the fact that a diesel engine is very sensitive to throttle input, and the transmission shifts much differently than an old, loose, Toploader. ;D <br><br>Before we know it, he'll be hitting the public roads.<br>He has already made it clear, though, NO RICERS for him!<br><br>He's a good boy! ;D ;D

Teenagers: (in many, but not all instances)<br><br>Poster Children For Birth Control <br><br>How did we get through that stage without being killed by our parents??? I have many grey hairs - in my beard also. And I've earned every one of them. No Grecian for me.<br><br>DW<br><br>

Re:Birthday Present
I watched the boy drive off with Eric on his maiden diesel voyage, he had a big ;D on his face. All Eric's wife Debbie said was " He hasn't let me drive the truck yet." Good job Dane, Happy Birthday.
