MMI Week 4- Done

Well the 4th week is over and we've been over oil, gas, transmissions, final drive and a few other little things. Keep in mind we aren't covering every single thing there is to know about these things but the theory behind them.....Hence the class being called "Theory 2". The first test in this class was on Friday and I got a 92 on it. Not what I wanted but considering the sheer amount of information the 50 questions were drawn from, I think I did ok.

We started covering carbs after the test in preperation for next week and I was ready to stab the instructor in the head to get him to use the word "vacuum". For some odd reason he doesn't want to say it. He says it doesn't exist on earth. I know he's an instructor for a reason but I also know that everyone can't know everything. I don't want to assume to know what he does and doesn't know but I do know that he's not explaining his point in a way that everyone can understand. I personally blocked him out and started reading something else while he was talking about it. He was just confusing me as I already understood the basics of how a carb works. I did keep an ear open in case something came up that I didn't know. People do ask questions and it could be something I don't know.....It's a good way to learn, listening to others questions.

So week 5 is about to begin tomorrow night and that means only 2 more weeks of theory then its time to get our hands dirty!
