It means that if her input shaft is moving too fast for her tranny, she can double clutch so they’re moving in unison.

See. Perfectly innocent.[/quote]

For me all I know, as far as going up in the gears is concerned is, clutch to get out of gear and clutch to get into gear. Then down in gears is, clutch to get out of gear then in neutral get rpms(punch gas) up to ease into next gear down(no clutch).

Today was a no driving day. We spent the whole 2 hours going over the pretrip inspection part of the test. They give you 45mins for that! It was okay just no driving. :frowning: I was hoping to drive when it’s light out as most of my lessons are at night.

I had a semi hit me once, I now give them really wide berth. [/quote]

Yeah they need a longer stopping distance than cars and they have the long trailer to think about too.

Space Cowboy came out in 1973. In 1972, Steve Miller had a song called “Enter Maurice” which had the following lyric: “My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice so I can whisper sweet words of epismetology in your ear and speak to you of the pompitous of love.”

This line sounds remarkably close to a line in a 1954 R&B song by The Medallions called “The Letter” It had the lines “Oh my darling, let me whisper sweet words of pizmotality and discuss the puppetutes of love.”

Pizmotality decribed words of such secrecy, that they could only be discussed with the one you love. Puppetutes was a secret fantasy figure (puppet) who embodied everything the person was looking for in a lover.

Not the first - or last - time rock n’ roll appropriated lyrics from R&B. I don’t know if Steve Miller ever admitted to anything more than being influenced by Vernon Green’s (the singer and writer in The Medallions) lyrics.

And now you know…

Honestly, a crisp 5 - 2 downshift is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

If I saw my missing mitten sitting on top of a hydrant, I would leave it there thinking of all the dogs that already took a leak there!
