Well that (didn't) goto plan I guess...

Back in MI now, a nice cruise down 75 from FL, just wish I didn't have to deal with some of that traffic lol. But I got back yesterday, which means nothing good really, the job didn't work out. I wasn't exactly what the guy was looking for, and my comfort zone is more in cars, not rv's/trucks. I think some of that problem being that I didn't go right into a diesel truck job right after school to apply my truck knowledge. but whatever, I packed up my PT and took off down the road, as far as I know I still have the job with Roush, and possibly picked up another job at the U of M bookstore.

But this might come at a good thing for my projects. We'll see I guess though.

Hm..

Down here in FL, where its nice and warm like 24/7 it seems like. Living with my boss's family, is odd, and it seems I keep on waking up at night hoping I would wake up in my own bed at home, obviously I won't lol, until I go back to MI lol. Which I will this Saturday. The job is ok at the least. its working on mainly RV's, but what ever comes in the door won't be denied really, as long as we have the tooling to actually do the job lol. I like the weather down here, but I do for sure feel home sick, even if it may not seem to other people. and I am on the fence about the job, most people say "it's a job" well yeah your right. I have a part time one already in MI, doing something that is really fun.

I did goto an old car show the other night (ok it was saturday night lol). I do have pictures but that requires going out to my car getting my camera, downloading the pictures on this slow laptop. There was a younger car show the day before, but my car was no where near looking good enough for that, but there were a few PT's there, one i swear I've seen on youtube before also.

The dreary post...

This was the post I was dreading on writing, I was recently down to FL for a job interview with a company where I would be working on rv's and trucks. (its a small shop) and for the next two weeks I'll go down there, and get a feel for the job, and stay with the guy (he has some kids my age). Because of my personal life this job is very on the border for me, feelings will play a big part in wheter I really want this job or not, but the only reason I'm on the fence is because of her, I won't name any names for the sake of obscurity (don't bother asking who either because that won't make me tell you at all). But she is the only reason I'm on the fence, if not for her, I'd want this job to work out completely. She's not even mine, and yet I love her so much, and she doesn't want me to move. If it does work out I hope she understands.

I will have a laptop down there, but I feel its better if for now, I just put a pause on my 3d modeling projects, some may wonder why. because I may not have the time to spend on them, as I have in the past. though the paused is only a label, I will try to bring the stuff down with me to work on, just incase.

As I prepare to make the drive from MI, to FL. that means not only to I have to get ready, but also my PT has to get ready, making that long of a trip isn't something that you just get in the car and do, you must make sure the vehicle is ready to do it, I've checked the funtion of just about everything, (didn't check reverse lights or brakelights, but thats it). Haven't tried the A/C but I feel I may not need it, and plus its 30 degree's out up here, I'm not willing to try it lol. my PT's engine oil has been changed just for this journey even. Next is to check the tire pressure.

I'm afriad at this point of time, my PT is the one that is more prepared for this journey then me, as I have yet to even pack a thing yet, and the most I've done is got my dad's old laptop out and got it working, though reliably seems to be questionable, its worlds different from my home rig but for 2 weeks, it will do me fine.
