Tain't me either. I figure if I have balls enough to post comments here,
that the least I can do is sign my name to it.
I busted my knuckles making an income for myself, a wife, and 2
children. Many times working more than one job at a time. When my skills
were lacking, I went to community colleges, 4 year college specialty
courses, General Motors Training Centers, Apprenticeship centers,
VW/Porsche/Audi schools, Diesel School at Blue Mountain CC, etc.
I went into partnership with a very talented automotive machinist,
(who also happened to be an alcoholic, binge drinker, womanizer, liar, and
cheat) That mistake cost me all my personal savings making it right. Taught
me a whole lot about human behavior, though.
All this and I found time to build hot rods, and help raise my kids.
Finally, was recruited to become a Vocational Instructor in a Prison.
I worked there until my retirement at age 56. Then I went to work for my
wife at her flower shop. She said that I could work 1/2 time, I didn't know
that meant 12 hours a day. Sold that shop in 2010. Bought a GMC in 2007 as
a getaway vehicle. Been working on them for myself and others since then.
GM training came in very handy many times. Love these old coaches. Not the
smartest or the dumbest GMCer out there, but I value the collective wisdom
and helpful spirit of the GMC community.
