LOL! i've been applying for work in texas and have gotten some calls. i'd love to get out of utah.

Well if the wife and I stay together I figure it will be NC, because she (read this in a whiny voice) doesn't want to be too far away from the grandson. (forget the fact that the other one will be born in Hawaii). If we don't stay together I am thinking Arizona, NM, somewhere west. Won't be CA though, so Dave, you are safe.

if you stay together?

We have been on a downward spiral for a decade now, it's just gotten to the end. Nothing new. Hell I even told her she could have everything. All I want is my truck, 911, tools, guns, clothes and a few personal items, like my grandfathers watch. The rest is hers. Starting over from scratch at 45 doesn't sound like fun but it ain't fun now.

nynor · 01-01-2010, 02:48 AM

sorry to hear that.

Rick V · 01-01-2010, 02:50 AM

Thanks, but it's cool. After 25 years no one can say we didn't give it a shot.

nynor · 01-01-2010, 02:52 AM

its no good to live miserable.

Rick V · 01-01-2010, 02:56 AM

You catch on fast.

I wonder if I could make a living as a Pimp?

nynor · 01-01-2010, 03:00 AM

same thing as a mechanic, isn't it?

Rick V · 01-01-2010, 03:06 AM

Noooooooooo
Mechanic is more like a whore.

I may be tired of turning wrenches but at least I can get a job anywhere. I just drop my resume and talk money. I don't remember the last time I had to fill out an application.
I'm thinkin' Pimpin' might be easier on the old bones though, Throw a few backhands, collect some money, sleep late (I have the 6am time frame in mind) yeah Rick The Pimp, has a nice ring to it.

Rick V · 01-01-2010, 03:23 AM

Wow this thread has taken an ugly turn. Back to happy thoughts, Like Sids, pending hangover. Weeeeeeeeeeee, I am such an *********

nynor · 01-01-2010, 03:25 AM

i can do a mean cylinder head on a 944. does that count?

Rick V · 01-01-2010, 03:38 AM

7 links between cam bosses, twin dial indicators, as much of a PITA as my 87S was, that was a fun build

nynor · 01-01-2010, 03:42 AM

944s?

Rick V · 01-01-2010, 03:46 AM

I payed $100 for this car. The shifter was trashed and a money shift ensued. It is now the property of a good friend in NC. I fixed it, and drove it for a year or so. He just wouldn't leave me alone about selling him the car so I let him have it.

nynor · 01-01-2010, 03:49 AM

nice! i've heard the heads on the S models can be very fun.

Rick V · 01-01-2010, 03:50 AM

Yeah, I miss that car. I think it is gonna come home to roost for some repairs. Looks like I get to rip it apart and make it fast

nynor · 01-01-2010, 03:52 AM

like what?

Rick V · 01-01-2010, 03:53 AM

I know what I am going to do today, I am going to fix the only thing on Peggy that doesn't work. The amp gauge. That will take all of 30 mins out of my day. Then I think I will need a nap.

It is all dependent on his money though. Parts are expensive for these as you know. Labor is free so he is good there.
