Don't be jealous lol.. Its not all its cracked up to be..

I'm a Union Boilermaker for the time being.. I travel around the country working (generally) on Coal Fired Boilers, (power generating stations)..

When I work, I usually work 7/10's for 6-12 weeks... then have time off..

They try to work on them when power consumption is at a low, so spring and fall, and keep them running in summer/winter..

So, that leaves us with summers and the middle of winter off...


It pays great. Both my cars are paid for..I have lots of very nice toys. As hard as it has been, I have been smart enough to sink very little of my money into my car... I love working on it, but there are bigger priorities in life..

Which is where building this motor kind of sucks...

I HATE traveling for work.. It is SO hard to have a serious relationship and I can't stand missing out on so much when I'm gone...

So.... My goals this year are to pay cash for a newer F-350 and enclosed car hauler, along with building up some savings so I can start my own Solar Energy company where I live, saying goodbye to traveling....


With that being said, only my Spare money goes into my car...


But now that both cars are paid for, and I have basically run out of things to buy around the house, I should be able to get this motor running within about a year, if I work hard enough...

oh yeah, I'm not going back to work for about 7 more weeks
