    Looks like I just screwed up my winter. Phone rang yesterday morning before I got out of the house. An old partner is looking for an employee. He was promoted and is now in charge of heating/cooling/refrigeration and interviewed me this morning.
    Why can't I say "no, not interested till spring"?
    Or say "just part time"?
    Oh well, money will help put with the truck I hope to be buying.

    Not any specific right now, I was considering a chevy diesel but the mileage scared me away. Also looking at an 09 w/t ext cab 1500 but again, the mileage thing-114k. Forestry vehicle auction coming up in about 3 weeks. Don't really give a crap if I'm driving a green truck as long as I save a few thousand, you know?

    Getting back to the job, I think I'll tell them I'll take fridays off. 4 days of me at anyone place should be enough! Of course, I'll work five days to help them get through the busy time.
    Start either mon or tue, depending on where my partner would be and what time I get out of the Dr. office.

    99 wants me to get all the time I can. She doesn't understand my position of- at this time in my life, more is not better.
    But then again, she doesn't understand why I enjoy this forum either.....

    It's what is holding me back on that one.
    Another would be an 06 gmc 3/4 with 79k on it.
    All of above are 4X4 of course.

    On the same lines as "if I have to explain why, you wouldn't understand!"
