No kidding. My aunt and cousins live/grew up out there. My dad's uncle moved out there with his wife... I think their son actually works at some yard out there. I haven't visited out there in years.

i brought my quad head out to Kiwi Engineering in old saybrook, so he can put new guides, bore the seats, and open up the combustion chamber on it (while repairing the DAMAGE from a dropped valve).

Free website that Yellowbook whipped up as part of my package. Kinda generic, but my custom website isn't finished yet. I am putting a lot of thought and effort into that one. Tell me if there is anything you would change, other than to take the old guys out of there, and get some pictures of my pretty face in there.

Good evening everyone.

A glimmer of hope in the job market.

My old employer did a bit of networking for me.

A VP from a division they sold off spoke with me and I applied for one of those unlisted positions. Would be good money working deployed with the military gone for six months then sort of home for two months - or - gone for twelve months and sort of home for three months. The deploy both to land and at sea, and I said given the choice I'd prefer to go back to sea. I'm figuring I got a decent bed and hot cooked food and more of the world to see being on a ship, versus the expanse of some desert as far as the eye can see past the fence.

The other position is within my old company, working electronic record keeping back in Afghanistan. Hopefully it too should pay well but I don't know the details on that. Seems it too is an unlisted position, tomorrow I have to send my resume out by snail mail to Oregon.

Greg are you still game for wiring my new bed Saturday? I got a manual from trailer depot today and the bed should be going on tomorrow evening. Finished drilling the crossmembers and sealing the ends so no salt can get in today. Will be back there later tonight to paint them.

Evening guys.
Is it ever going to warm up and be like spring?

Brendon get a web site up and looking the way you want takes some time.
I have been tweaking mine when time allows.

I am watching Happy Madison. Adam Sandler is great.

Greg whatever is convenient for you works for me. I need to pick up some shrink tube is there anything else you think I should grab? I will probably be welding the body to the crossmembers and doing other little reinforcements most all day so whatever time works for you works for me. Right now I'm starting a little project so I can lock my little steel sides on the bed so no jerkoff steals them at home depot or something. It's gonna be rough at first but once I can refine it a hair it will be nice.
