Hi Rod and thanks!
The interview went extremely well! I have some forms to get back to the manager and we will go from there. Was hoping for a supervisor job but I am OK with a tech job. New facility and only 20 minutes from home compared to over an hour and a half that I drive now. I am going to put some new u-joints in this weekend and see if that fixes it.

Little to anything forecast for home,
It's a pretty big storm, I am thinking we will get some rain from it and some wind but you more than us.

Good evening Hugh, Stephen and all of Georgia. They say we will see some storms develop in the night from the storm.
I have management jobs, supervised, and even the manager and now I am just glad to be a flunky at work! Something about getting older, static, and really don't give a flying fart anymore.
It makes it easier for me to keep my mouth from saying what my mind is thinking! LOL
Oh and I now drive 9 miles vs 51 one way!

Light rain and no wind so it ended up nothing for us. Hugh got it worse than we did. My battle buddy evacuated from Panama City so he and his family are safe. The transmission came in yesterday for the 745C that I pulled out 3 weeks ago, so I know what I'm doing the next 3 days.
