October

Could freedom be coming soon? I hope so. No fails, all passes, of course that's easy to do when you don't drink. I heard from my installer just through listening in over the visits each month, about some of the problems people tend to have with their BAIID. They can't get the BLOW BLOW BLOW - HUM/Blow, Hum/Blow timing or sequence down. Some others have emphyzema from smoking, so their lungs aren't strong enough for the device to register their blowing. I fortunately didn't have any of those issues up to this point, aside from just not paying attention or taking a big enough breath. In that case it just tells you to blow harder and you start over. Only issue was still the bad curly cord in August. Haven't had my battery die, I even let it sit for almost 9 days one time while out of town. I'd say the quality/age of the battery has a lot to do with that. Mine didn't need replaced, my car had about 35k miles on it when I started this Journey, about 5 years old, but I replaced it with a Duracell Ultra Gold anyways. My lawyer is prepping for my final hearing in Illinois sometime in the next 2 months, that was another fee both to the lawyer and the $50 state fee. I had to go back to my education facility and get an updated report from my counselor, that was another $150 fee. I have to get three more letters of recommendation. All in all, a process, but not one I can't work through. It IS expensive to get your license back. I don't have to have a lawyer, but it's my bit of security as my lawyer is one of the best in the area.. this is all he does. It will be nice to not have the Secretary of State taking pictures or video of me every time I drive my car, hopefully in the near future.
