First things

First things first.....Avatar is really good. Of course, I think I liked it better when it was called "Dances with Wolves", but still the colors and 3d technology are amazing. Not sure I want to see it 8 times or anything, but definitely worth seeing in the theater. In fact, I believe it must be seen in the theater.

Got a little work done on the jeep this weekend. The spacer and flywheel are both back on. I started to put the clutch back on, then took a good look at the bolts and decided not to reuse them. I unpacked the new clutch pieces, they look good, so hopefully everything fits once I have the new bolts. I think this week I'm going to try to get the fuel gauge connection cut and refitted, and test the electrical signal to make sure everything is working. Then this coming weekend, try to get the new clutch on, the transmission cleaned up, and the skidplate cleaned up also. If all of that gets done, it will have been a productive weekend in terms of jeep work.

Been a bit going on with job calls, thought I might update that. First, got a call from a guy in Cincy about a job in Indiana. This was interesting enough that it made me consider moving to Terre Haute, but at the end of the day I have elected not to even try. I don't think my honey would ever forgive me.

Last week, got an e-mail from a guy I'd worked with about a year ago for another search. He was not really looking to place me, but I'm really interested in the job he has. I'm trying to help him instead and be one of his favorite people.

Also last week, got a call from a recruiter in Mobile. He is recruiting for a job in Orlando, which is where I sit right now. CFO spot for a road contractor. Since I've come to the conclusion that the boss man is never going to share the responsibility liked we discussed 18 months ago, I've been very open to all of these calls. And this one may be interesting. I'll update later, as I'm scheduled to have an interview/discussion at 8:30 this morning with the CEO/Owner.

Later
