That's awesome Brian. Congratulations.

I found an apartment in austin this weekend. About 20 minutes from lake travis and a whopping 3 miles from my office.

You three outlaws on the same day? How did that happen?

Let us know the details ASAP. I have a Colorado trip coming up, and a lot to do before I go.

Sounds like a good plan for the future....as long as your degree doesn't make you the guy that has to climb up inside the tower and do Mx on the blades/generator!

Spent a lot of nights in Tucumcari at theHoliday Inn (best restaurant in town) when I use to commute between here and Santa Fe. Seems like a nice little town... and beautiful country!

climbing with the proper gear is half the fun.. the oil changes are pretty messy though. maybe i can convert the used gear oil into diesel FUEL since i will be leaving my JET A source.

i am looknig forward to seeing new country side, that i have NEVER experienced.

There are a few of us knuckleheads here in ABQ. Hope everything goes well the rest of the week and people pay their bills so I can come this weekend. It is getting close!
