Well how do I say this, due to being off work for the last 6 months we decided

to sell the bike and trailer and buy a Exmark zero turn to pick up a little work untill

a full time position can be found. I'm not going anywhere and will stay on the forum

because you cannot disregard sooo many true friends found here. I'm not looking for any handouts this is a decision that was made to move foreward. I am a biker at heart and will have something to ride before you know it. I would however accept prayers for finding a full time position.

Gary less the 99 silver

I dunno, after Cody youll always be 99silver..... it wont matter what youre riding... youre stuck with us.. Best of luck in finding something soon, it looks like the economy there is starting to perk up a bit.

Sorry to hear about anybody having to let their scooter go. Sometimes those decisions have to be made as hard as they are too make. Good luck and I hope things turn around for the better real soon. prayers sent.

Been there, done that. Just got a replacement bike in December and now I'm out of work

again. Health reason this time. Back at the auto plant in May though.

Any way, just thought I'd let you know the auto industry is alive and well in the deep south.

Have you ever considered moving?

Too bad you aren't closer, the place I work at is hiring hot and heavy. Been pulling 12 hr shifts to keep close to orders.

Thanks for your support, the 99 was my 15th or 16th motorcycle so I don't think it will be to long before i'm back up again. Sometimes you just have to drop down to a lower gear before you can get back up to speed. We are doing just fine but I felt that sitting still was not my thing so I'll pick up a few lawn jobs and some handyman stuff till I get back full time.

Hang in there Gary, you mite end up running the biggest lawn service in Flint:thumbsup: Always give people more then they expect and do it cheerfully!! Hope things start picking up for you soon.:fingers-crossed-emo:080402gudl_prv: Craig

Prayers for you and yours my friend. I wished you lived closer, I need my yard mowed right now. I am not able until next week. My doc said maybe next week if all goes well with the shoulder. Heating pad on right now.

 

I had a good friends son come up and give me a fair price last week $55.00 for my yard and all the trimming. I have a really large yard when you do it all. He runs a small lawn service and does pretty well along with his night job. He is young has a couple other young fellers helping him. They where supposed to call and confirm for today or tomorrow. No call and no show today. I feel like Yammer Dan trying to get a garage built. I hope it don't take that long. If it does, I will have to hire someone to cut timber out of my yard by then.

Be strong.... I know the crap feeling of being off work although I was lucky to only be off for 30 days I know it is dfficult.

I did two full aprentiships, to become a plumber I did my 4 years, to become an A Class gas fitter was closer to 6 years.... I got a job with my night school class as a power engineer... :confused:

 

Keep up hope for the solid stuff but stay strong with the yard service... and good luck to you.

Sorry to hear this Gary . I will keep an ear open for you . Sounds like a good plan to up grade that bike. I will call you if I hear of anything you might be interested in.

All the best to you both. Hope to get over there for a visit but may have to be later in the summer.

The Volkswagon plant down here in Chattanooga is hiring 1000 people. They are really needing maintenance types. I don't know what all of the other positions are.

Hey Gary, I hope something turns up soon for you. I hate to hear it got do bad you had to sell Silver, but hopefully you get back on two wheels soon.

Best of luck to you Gary. Hope this proves to be just a temporary detour for you which gives you the comfort that you did the right thing.
