And....I have a chance now...lol Well lets see been out here for about 2 weeks now. I won't bore ya with all the silly crazy stuff I encountered on the trip out here by car. But it took me only 2 days to drive it down highway 40 from Oklahoma.
On my second day here, I was parked in a parking lot and saw a Blk Mach pull in. Now that in itself really isn't a big deal, BUT
he had a '00 Cobra chin spliter on it, so I figured he might be a little more than "just an owner/driver" if you know what I mean. So I sparked up a chat with him and he's originally from California and knows pretty much the in crowd around here with thier mustangs. He also knows all the regular shows and dyno shops within the San Diego area and goes to Knotts every year. Another tid bit that he dropped on me, was that (when time permits) him and the guys go up to the John Force shop where he, (John Force) holds a car show every last saturday of the month. So....yeah I guess I haven't been turning wrenches in a few weeks, but I'm already networking.
As a side note: it is really hard to think people who drive mustangs take me seriously when they see what I'm driving. So I have to roll up the sleeve and show them my mustang ink...and then that seems to settle the crowd
So yeah....just to elaborate on my wife's description of my job here, I evaluate higher ranking "leaders" and units getting ready to deploy to Iraq / Afghanistan. In short, I use a political approach to tell them they are jacked up and if they don't change thier ways someone might die or get seriously injured.
I'm really looking forwad to getting my cars out here though. From the front gate to the nearest highway is 27 miles down a 2 lane road (passing lanes off and on), speed limit 55mph. And there is NOTHING so much as a street lamp or gas station on that stretch. Just open desert.
TTY all later
Pete
