Hello world.

Apparently none of you saw fit to comment on my last post. Humph.

Yesterday a radio commercial for a technical school that offers things like motorcycle mechanic got me thinking about going to school again for another career change. I think I'd like working on motorcycles a lot better than delivering soda or any other trucking job. So right now I'm again thinking, go for the hazmat and tanker endorsements so I can deliver home heating oil or propane, find a local day job doing that and go to school nights to learn the bike repair thing. But first I'd better find out things like how much it's going to cost, and whether they have job placement assistance, and what their placement rate is.

Fixing bikes would make acutal use of my intelligence, and not be so damn brutal on my body like delivering the soda, and not so much of a colossal waste of time like being over the road. I suppose i could find myself strapped for hours come winter but I could always fall back on some truck driving during the lean seasons for bike mechanics.

So I'm thinking to turn my truck towards the "out" door. After I've bought me a sony a350 and some macro extension tubes I shall save to pay off my student loans for trucking school and get that episode put behind me. Hopefully I won't get irreversibly physically destroyed in the amount of time it takes me to do that.

This morning I had a message on my deviant art page that one of my pics was being featured in a Taste of the Unknown, a special feature for artists who haven't been getting attention but deserve more. I hope people will acutally read the article and actually visit my page.

cheerio, pip pip
