I am doing ok financially, I don't have a lot of debt, I have savings and now I have unemployment. I have a pension (that I can't collect for a few more years) and I have two fairly strong retirement accounts. My wife has a great job and makes enough for us to keep moving forward. I am able and willing to work...and I have a strong resume...it's just a matter of time before I am working again.

You say this is off topic...but the thing I'm frustrated the most about is the fact that I had plans for a 383, a new transmission, etc...and now my truck is on hold!! I think that is on topic..

I also worked really hard to get the job I had...I was persistent for several years before I finally got hired by the company that I wanted to work for...and was making twice the money I was making previously.

Anyway, as I said earlier...I just wanted to vent a little. I didn't realize that it would turn into a richard-measuring contest of who had it worse...
Saul. Good. Man. Hope it helped even despite the contest.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
