Default it's semi-official

i've been wanting to move back to florida for quite some time, but never was able to... until now. i'll be putting everything in own, including the ranger, in storage up here, selling my explorer, and flying down in the next several weeks to line up a job. once i get all the details worked out, i'll fly back up, rent a uhaul and a tow dolly, and moving back for good. i'm pretty excited about this, but there's a lot of things that need to fall into place for it to happen. hope it all works out.

Just keep an open mind in the job market, and don't be afraid to learn new things. I was working for Tire Kingdom making 'eh' money, and was 'let go'. My girlfriend's uncle let me know he was looking for someone at a print shop he owns. I learned how to run the press, all that fun stuff, and started working for him a week and a half or so ago. The hours are amazing, the money is GREAT, and I love who I work with, since I've known the people for years. You'll do fine here.

that's awesome, man. i've always had that attitude. i've done everything from managing restaurants to working for a commercial sign company as a lead installer to doing law enforcement in the military. i'm pretty confident that i can find something that sparks my interest.

slight change of plans though. i'm going to use the money from the explorer to fix the few things on the ranger that need attention, sell all of my furniture, and get a small uhaul trailer to tow behind the ranger. it'll save me time and money to just do it all in one shot and start over.

^^^ Better idea. Say goodby to KC for me. It's been a while since I've been back there. My high school reunion was last week but I didn't go. I decided any of the formerly hot girls that I'd always wanted to bang were now wayyyyyy too old for me to even consider that. So what's the point of a reunion without that?
