Long day again

| No Comments
Woke up at 7AM to get into town for the final day of class and the test at 2PM. I needed to get better than 70% and I scored 93% so I think I had the material pretty well covered. I'll be getting my spiffy new Technician license in a week or so. There is another round of testing in a couple of months so I'll be spending some time going for the Extra license. Heading south Monday to look at an equipment trailer -- the father of a friend has one for sale. Had a bit of fun this evening after the exam. I frequently shop at a nice grocery store in Bellingham and there is one part of their parking lot that has space for larger vehicles like mine so I always park there. The North entrance to this space is fine but the South drive is too narrow for two vehicles to pass and so is marked with two very large Do Not Enter signs. I was heading out and some punk was trying to get their vehicle in. I was in the middle of the road (truck has a large turning radius and was coming out of a slot). I stop and point to the two signs. The bozo motions me to swing to the right. He is not moving. I point again and finally back up and shift to the far right. I have my window down anyway (today was a gorgeous day) so I yell out to him as we pass that it is one way. I get cussed out as though it is my problem. And then it hit me... I grinned at him and said in a low voice: You know, I bet you voted for Obama. The stream of invective out of that a**holes mouth was incredible. His face went red -- I must have hit a nerve or something. Sure made my day!!!
