My son got on the school bus this morning. No fuss. Didn't phase him in the least.
Thank heavens for small favors...

Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.
Send e-mail to my profile if interested.

Good deal
Great news.
Incidentally, my late mother was a school bus driver and I was rather shocked at the number of times those things broke down & needed repair. Conversely, my dad is an over-the-road truck driver (those guys make money hand over fist, folks.....if you have a kid who did 'okay but not great' in school & who has no ambitions of going to college, get 'em a CDL. Seriously, they're raking in the cash, especially those who own their own trucks) and he drives hundreds of thousands of miles each year and it appears to me that he's had a lot fewer problems, albeit much more expensive issues when they DO arrive.
Everything mechanical breaks down and belts are always going to break but those buses sit for three months a year, isn't that the opportune time for PM and a complete tune-up?
Kids bounce back from shit quite easily. On the other hand, I know some adults that would have gone catatonic and needed to see a shrink for a month before they could get on another bus.
phase => faze
