Senpai noticed me!

Yeah, was talking it over last night with the buddies (former military) at work entertaining the idea. No plans on changing careers anytime soon. I would hate starting all over, especially since I studied my ass off trying to learn this shit while mostly everyone else have been playing with computers since they were 7.

Man, life is a series of restarts. The good thing about IT is how it mixes in with just about everything. I've made myself way more valuable in all my jobs by knowing how to do more than just my job.

When I was 18 working at Pizza Hut I fixed the dough rolling machine with hardware store parts while we were waiting for a new one. Senpai notices dumb stuff like that.

Definitely, I've told this story before, but one summer my Aunt, Mother, brother, two sisters, a full grown German Shepherd names "Rags" and I took a 500 mile trip between NC and KY in a '64 Volkswagen Beetle through the mountains before Interstates. My baby sister was 1 and sat in my mothers lap the entire trip in the front. The other three of us (12,10,8) and the dog rode in the back. The two ladies would be in jail if we did this in the last 10 years I suspect.

I was a colicky baby. My parents used to put me behind the back seat of the beetle and drive around when I was cranky. The engine sound and vibration did the trick. Kept it up well into my toddler years. I have fond memories of riding back there.

Halogen sealed beams have been (were) the standard for a looong time but I've never had a car with separate lamps. @humfrz, @Tcoat?
