just wanted to post up an update for anyone who cares
I love my job out here at the asphalt plant; its a bit like watchstanding on a steam ship exept I get to go home every weekend. the total crew at the plant is 15 and the pay is ok right now with a decent prospect of quick advancement (I get to about 23/hour before I start to have to look at replacing a supervisor)
of course spending every weekend with my kids is heavenly, I missed the little buggers a lot.
I'm told there is a lot of moderate wheeling within an hour of my apt so within the next couple of weekends I should be able to send some pics back of my jeep acting like a jeep again.
thats about it for now.
