I will be convoying with the Bill clan of WVA. It's out of my way, but he practically begged me. Lol. Glenn, you can meet us on 75?

Awe don't talk like that man! Stick with it! I know it gets hard at times, and I can definatly relate to wanting to set things on fire and walk away. You will get it! You will kick yourself silly!!!

If you're convoying with me, you won't be going down 75, you should be coming down 77.

Keep at it Aaron. Nothing worth having came easy.
I keep telling myself that for school.

Some positive news is that a phone interview went well with a company and I go to meet the hiring manager on Thursday!
I post it in here because if I have a steady income I am almost certain I can make RRE. Assuming nothing too important for class lies on that Friday. Like an exam etc.

SK Hand Tools! They introduced the electrical wire nut to the US MANY years ago.
I also hear I get a discount on all products.

Aaron, when things get overwhelming to me, I just tell myself that I'm working on Mt. Rushmore, one chip at a time. It will happen.

You guys going down on Thursday? Where and when on I75 Todd?

Good luck Alex, just stay calm and be yourself!

If you come down through Indiana on I-69 we could have a little convoy.

You guys crack me up.
If you come down I-75 you could stop here for some history.

I could do that. I-75 route wouldn't make the trip too much longer than I-69.

Alex, Would you be taking I-65 to through Indy?
