Tired, and miles to go before I sleep.

pecuniumI am dashing off a quick note before I head to work to do inventory.
I spent the past two days taking a 20 hour motorcycle skills course; it rained today. I passed. Passing is good, it means I can get my actual license by just walking into the DMV and handing in a form. I don't have to wait 2-3 months to arrange a test date.
And the test for the MSF waiver is a lot harder than the DMV test, so all in all the 250 bucks was money well spent. Lots of practice at things which one isn't as likely to attentively practice/be aware of, and a lot (about ten hours) of slow, and mentored, work on basic skills.
So I am a better rider for it too.
But I am tired, (and stressed, the test was amazingly nervous-making). I didn't do as well on the practical as I would have liked, but my major failures were of caution, so as things to screw up go, that's to the better.
In a class of seven, we had four pass (and one person who was retesting failed again; so eight took the test, half failed). I guess I can be proud of myself.
