Or what always happens to me:
Get into car. Sit on cambuckle. Ow.
Get out of car. Move cambuckle.
Get back into car, bump cambuckle back into seat and sit on it again.
Swear.
Lift self up, contort arm and get cambuckle out.
Fasten belts into cambuckle.
Put gloves on.
Put helmet on, realize I can't fasten D-rings with gloves on.
Remove gloves.
Fasten helmet.
Put gloves on again.
Flip power switch, realize kill switch is off.
Reach for kill switch on far side of passenger dash top, jerk against belts.
Swear louder.
Unfasten belts, reach over and turn kill switch on.
Fasten belts yet again.
Forget all about it once I'm out on course!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
