    Boy I wish I could feel proud of the work I do again.
    And get paid for it.
    With the exotics I feel that way.
    I have on occasion couldn’t sleep and went to the box and just walked around.
    Sat in the cars. Thought of the stuff I did on that car.

    Real world is not for craftsmanship anymore..
    And I feel sad..

    It's a shame some people ruin things for others. Let me guess the members sharing on FB do not have their accounts secured, wide open for the public to view? Hopefully the company is willing to cross train employees to fill in when needed if they don't already. Good luck.

    Thanks Rob. It went well was supposed to meet with 3 different groups but they kept him there all afternoon and he met with a few more than planned. As soon as he walked out another company in Boston called him for an interview. He has at least 4 in the works right now 2 are in Boston.

    Edit: I have a Weston semi professional vacuum sealer and really like it, so will be looking at that gun.

    The Portland company didn't even require him to come out there in person. He did a third and final interview with them a couple of days ago and they are supposed to let him know middle of next week. Chicago is closer but if it was me, Portland over Boston and Chicago any day of the week. But of course it is his choice. Hope he makes the right one.

    Thoughts with you today, your mother will appreciate you being there I am sure. As will everyone else. Despite what you have to do hope it is a good Saturday for you, or at least as well as can be.

    That picture speaks a thousand words! Damn I think I can smell it from here LOL. Beautifully done and bet it taste as good or even better than it looks. To hell with Canadian bacon think that should be my next job with a pork loin. I'm hungry now...
