I really think the best thing that happened to that was the ride to/from Drift-In. Held it in the right position for MANY hours

Kaddict I used to get to ride the rails with the train crews from Sioux Lookout ON to either Winnipeg or east to Hearst, and your right nothing beats the view on a full moon night ride through the brush in Northern Ontario.....
Troll come March I might need your help with a resume because I'll be looking for a real job after 40+ of not having a real job........

- August 30, 2014, 14:39:57 PMWell, Kiddies, I've started a new career....In addition to my computer business and my recently retired from Motorcycle Rider Ed. business, and my ASE Master Tech job, I've added a commercial auto parts delivery job to my resume'. 25 hours a week, $10 an hour, easy work. This was needed for two reasons...Hanging a round the house all Winter when I can't ride was making me crazier than normal, and it is a supplement to my Soc. Sec. disability "income"...Driving one of those Turkish built Ford express vans....more fun and games. I really missed the auto industry, so now I'm back in it. Gonna stick some in my IRA and some in my ROK box for Drift-In, next year....

- April 27, 2014, 09:00:20 AMIf you can read this, someone along the way did their job . I was a high school English teacher. Where I taught made every day different and the perks weren't bad either. I worked 185 days a year and the rest or the time was playing with my toys. Decent salary and I retired at 55. Many of my former students are now my friends.
