I'm back as well... Been a long couple of months and little or no off-road activity. I was released from my job in Louisville and had to scramble to find new employment. I preferred to stick with my current company (facilities management provider) and transfer if possible, and on the last day before my severence ran out I found a position (pay and position cut) in Milwaukee, WI.
I'm now a supervisor instead of a manager, and I'm in K-12 education instead of college campus work, but the pay is close (with OT pay instead of salary) and we are with family again after 15 years of living in Kentucky.
I came up to Milwaukee and started working in August and started hauling loads northward and placing our stuff in storage. My wife finally joined me up here the last day of October. To all you guys who think you would be better off without a wife, think again. It sucks! I love my bride and I am so thrilled that she is back with me!
In any case, all our stuff is now in storage, my tools and equipment piled up and almost useless to me. The Ranger is sitting outside, waiting for a home to finish plumbing and electrical work, the Trailblazer needs (another) new front end because I popped a big buck deer the first day I drove it in Wisconsin, and my Dodge needs some love as well. Overdrive is out and 2nd gear barely functioning after blowing a cooler line twice (bad repair by others) and it got a workout moving. Biggest load was over 18K with trailer and truck loaded to the hilt.
Just thought I'd pop in to say hi and to let everyone know that I'm still here!
