Well, good to see you bounce back, and hitting it again Roger. Took me a while for me to get my head out, and straightened up.

Kinda got forced into it when my back went out. I was making decent money as a welder, and largely enjoyed what I did...

Well, hopefully you'll find something with this that you'll enjoy just as much. I happen to love what I do here. Other than working on aircraft in the Navy, this is the first job I've had that I don't mind coming in to work every day!

As sad as it sounds, I don't mind my job at Autozone, but I can't see myself doing it full time for the rest of my life... I can't actually see myself doing it full time...

I wouldn't mind that either, but like you said, wouldn't want to make a career out of it. It would be a nice part time job, though. Or maybe something to do after I retire.

Retire, man that sounds so far away but in reality it's only 13 years away for me, before I have to seriously have to explore my options!

Morning Roger. I'm just glad to see the sun! I was hoping it would dry out over the weekend, but looks like more rain coming on Sunday. Super.
