For what? No idea. I'm kind of thinking I may want to get into law enforcement. I really need to talk to my boss's brother-in-law who is a state trooper. I need to talk to him about requirements what will help etc. etc.

I'm still not 100% sure but I'm really thinking I'd like to be a state trooper.
Nice idea, the troopers are the cream of the crop IMO. There are so many other things to do also. I'll give you an example. My 23 year old son joined the USN after 2 years of college at Eastern Connecticut. He is a cryptological technician 'interpretative'. After boot camp, they sent him to Monterey California to learn Chinese. Now he is stationed in Hawaii. He listens to messages, interprets them and passes along the info to someone. It's all secret and he can't tell me anything.

What ever you end up doing, I'm sure you will do just fine.

I'm not sure.
I have a big delivery of 47 windows coming on the 12th.
May have to work that Saturday.

My brother has asked me to house/dog sit while He's on vacation.
If I'm in Northford I wouldn't miss it for the world. (To put some faces with the names)

Jim if you're in Northford just run straight down 17 (towards New haven) past trailer depot take a left onto Warner Rd. follow that down to where it meets up with half mile rd. go leftish-straightish (it'll make sense when you see the intersection) follow that to the end of the road take a left onto barberry rd follow around until you see an old farm with a ton of PSDs parked out front. Pull in and have fun.

I said parked out front. The spark plugs can park across the street.

If I can convince one of dad's guys to come for a little while you may not be the only V10 there. I doubt he'll come but I'm still gonna ask. I've been trying to get him on FTE for a while. We've done work on the 6.0 according to writeups by FTE members. I explained FTE then. I got my PAA sticker he asked about it I gave him a spotters card. Explained the CT Chapter to him still nothin. I'm hoping this may convince him but I doubt it.
