Job Fair

Ok, well thanks to all you kind and loving folks for praying that I would find a job. I did not actually get one, but at least I talked to a few people and gave them my resume. I did find out that USAA is having an internal job fair on their campus next month. So at least that's a lead. Plus I have the email address and phone number to their military recruiter, so hopefully I can give him a call and get my foot more in the door.

Well, I'll keep you updated if anything good comes around.

More of my bike

I never understood the interest people had in fixing old cars and making them as good or better than the original. Well, now I can fully understand. I am getting so excited to fix my bike up. Last friday I went and bought a new rear tire, oil, filter, and bar ends for the bike. They had to order the tire, so hopefully it will be here by wednesday. Once it gets here I'll have to take the tire to a shop down the road from here, and they will take the old tire off, put the new one on and balance the wheel. It should be fun stuff.
Tonight we bought some steel wool so I can clean the engine and surrounding areas and get all the oxidation off. On saturday I used a wire brush on one side, and it took a while, but it started getting clean. I also think I'm going to go to Walmart and buy some Mother's Chrome polish.

Anyway, I just wanted to keep y'all updated on the sweetness I call, uh, my bike. Maybe y'all could help me come up with a sweet name for it. That would be sweet.

I am now a licensed motorcyclist!

It felt like it would take me forever, but I have accomplished this massive feat of humanity. Ok it's not that big a deal, but I'm stinkin' stoked. I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation class this weekend, which waived the riding portion of the state test, and then today I took the written/computer test. I even had time to come back home and grab all my important papers so I could register my bike on base. Now if only it wasn't raining I could ride my bike to work tomorrow.

I also applied for a civilian photographer position at a base near Lackland today. So please pray that this one really works out. I'm qualified, and it's right up my alley, so I really want this job. That and I don't have any other sure jobs, so this would work perfectly.
