    Welp, long story short, I'm having to withdraw from flight school. Basically some of my service related disabilities can't be treated properly with the drugs/medications the VA wants me to take and still be in compliance with FAA regulations on that kind of stuff. I've been refusing to take the meds up until now but the issues have been worsening and mental fortitude isn't enough to keep me afloat anymore.

    Looking at some trade schools to fill the gap for now but don't know if I will be able to find any in the next week or so before most spring semester classes start.

    Most likely will need to find a job for the next 3 or so months and then try to attend welding school or something in the summer. If anyone has any leads lemy know!

    Appreciate the offer! I'll have to tweak the resume, only one I have was from TRS when I was got out in August. Rah!

    I know to get housing payments I will need to be full time for what ever the school deems as a full time student. Saw some stuff on buildcolorado.com on apprenticeships and what not

    And now you'll have a missing package AND a broken window on your car! HOORAY!

    My friend was super lucky and got both of his bumpers actually delivered to him.

    If you don't work it into rotations, your worn tires are probably the same diameter now.

    These spark plug gaskets broke like brittle plastic. Replacing those and cleaning the half moons took the longest.

    Got them all installed.

    I need to grab some lynch pins to replace the temporary solution.

    The first one i put on is installed a little too close to the catch so I'll need to adjust it or something, but that'll be another day project.

    Has lots of different settings if you click on the menu in the bottom left.

    It'd be a sweet screensaver or live wallpaper.
