Sorta goodbye
« on: December 14, 2012, 05:14:52 pm »
Well, as some of you know, I lost my job about 2 months ago.  I've been looking for work every day, but I can't seem to find anything that pays even half of what I used to make, so I'm going to go back to driving long-haul truck.  I drove for about 5 years, but stopped about 10 years ago when I went into the safety/compliance end of the industry.

I need to take a refresher cours next week, then I'll put my resume out there and start looking for a job.  Hopefully, I'll start driving again right after Christmas.

Unfortunitly, I won't have much time to work in the shop, so I just shut my site down and I'm finishing up the last order this weekend.

I'll be on the road about 27 days a month, so I'm pretty sure I won't be able to log on and give y'all the the benefit of my....oh, what the heck, I won't be able to flick y'all some s_ _ _.

I'll miss ya!  :'(

Prayers for you and your family. Hope you manage to get back into some work that wont take you from home, but until then I understand the need to provide for a family. Well hope to see you on from time to time.
