Greasemonkey

Remember that post a while back? The one where I said I was going to try to get an apprenticeship as a mechanic?

I did it.

I start at Myers tomorrow, on the lube rack (yeah, yeah, insert grease-rubbing comments here).

Nearly SIX years after I was turned down for being "too old," the same place is hiring me on. The class portion isn't available to me (due to spaces, not some wierd administrative requirement) until January 2009, but that means that I'll have a good year-plus of hands-on experience before I even step foot in a classroom for the theory portion. Four semesters later, I'll be writing my test for my Mechanic's License. After that I can get my Master Mechanic certification.

It's about damn time. This has been a dream of mine for so very very very long. The biggest step on the road to building my own car in the distant future.


Until then, I've started brainstorming ideas for the Unfire...
