Wanted to post an update.... Went to Blanco yesterday and had the interview, interesting place and I would have loved to be in Blanco. $12 hr was the starting wage I had to laugh to myself as this is for a skilled position dealing with fabrication and sheet metal bending. He mentioned to me about a high turnover rate, and I thought to myself DUH! folks can make more than that working at Walmarts. Needless to say I didn't accept the job, at 43 years old I'm not going to drop my wage standards with 25 years of experience to $12 hr. Unfortunately it is a employers market right now and there isn't very much that I can do about that. So onward to the next prospect and either I'll find work or die trying

You know your always welcome here Jacques, we very much enjoyed the short time we got to spend with you folks in Frankenmuth I'll keep your bike in mind should I hear anyone in the looking, be safe and I'm sure we'll catch up with you at some point

Were back! Pulled into the drive at 4:30 this afternoon and will be headed out to Blanco in the morning for a 1:30 interview. Thanks again for all the well wishes for both the job and my Dad. He's doing well and basically kicked me out to get to this interview. I hope to be able to come on here tomorrow and let you know that I am back in the work force. Lots of folks to thank, but we'll save that for another thread

Jacques, Very sorry to hear this, I hope that it's nothing serious and wish you the best of luck with your sale. If there is anything we can do please let us know.

Well it's time.... Lonna and I are going to be headed back south to home as I have a job interview of sorts in Blanco. My Dad is getting along well, but I really need to pursue this opportunity as they are only taking apps until mid next week. So early Monday morning we are heading out of Michigan and down south. I hate to leave my Dad here by himself, but he's on my arse to apply for this job and hopefully get our lives back on track....wish us luck

Jim, We have chatted on occasion and like all have said here, dont go. Were full swing in PMS and I know MANY have cabin fever right now. The post you refer to is just a misunderstanding and is really not a big deal. One of the things I try to do here myself, to actually be a better moderator, is to meet folks face to face. This is why I'll travel the continent to go to events and to actually meet as many members as I can. This stupid little box we type into is a poor excuse for some converations. I have met folks and get a feel for them so I can better judge how they post. I have been known to come into a thread and read a post from one of the members that I know and jokingly tell them to shut up. Some folks are mortified that I do that, but I know a bit of their personalities and can get away with it to lighten up a situation. No need to go and I really encourage you to meet up with folks, I will never beg anyone to stay here. It is free will and I dont force my opinions down people, but your short changing yourself if you decide to fade away. It's all water under the bridge and some days we just have our shorts in a wad....it happens to me too

Hey Kiddo, Good to see your still alive! hopefully you will have some time to spend with us this year. If your ever down in Texas look us up....be safe
-
Vic & Tom, Not much more that can be said than what is here. Your Casey was a sweetie of a dog and I remember him from the time we were able to spend with you folks. Never easy to loose anyone in the family and my heart goes out to both of you. The good memories will far outweigh the loss, but that still doesn't help the loss...all the best my friends.

Back to Oil again...
Squidley replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Either one of them will work, I have used it for years in the dead dinosaur form. Just keep in mind that if your bike has a lot of miles on it and you have only run conventional oil in it that synthetic will sometimes cause gaskets to leak when it is used in an older engine with more than say 40K miles.
