Jeff, at the moment, it don't look like it, it all depends on how my current boss takes it when he finds out his mechanic hired me. (is that cool or what?)
If he cans me, I'll have a couple days free, and it'll look good, but if not, I don't see it happening, my new days off will be Friday and Sunday. (friday off...pay day....JUNK YARDS!!!!!!!)
We'll see what happens this afternooon when I tell 'ole goat head that I have a beter job.

We work on anythign from 1/4 ton S-10/Rangers, all the way up to tractor trailers. Mostly the bigger trucks though.
It was pretty d@mn simple with this cat, I went in to get the clutch adjusted on one of the moovin vans, and after listing the 10 billion things wrong with it, I asked if they needed a new mechanic. He told me to come in after work.
He hired me on the spot that nght.
I'm as happy as a puppy with 2 peckers!
