Settling Down

I have always been a bit of a drifter. In that, I mean that I was never content to be in one place for very long. When I finished high school, I decided to go backpacking through Europe for a month and I never ended up coming home for over a year. This is how […]

Looking Forward to Tomorrow

Tomorrow at work (in a few hours from now) I will have a nice, relaxing day.  You see, once per month, we get a new shipment of stock in at our parts shop.  So, we will be unloading and stocking the shelves all day.
