Howdy Bob,

I'll add my condolesences and add that, having spent most of my professional career in HR, this sounds like another one of those situations where a challenge is evolving into an opportunity. It certainly sounds like you have the right mindset--well done.

Is there anything else "we guys" can do to assist (other than spreading the word where one can get the best intensive care for their PT's)?

Best of luck.

, yeah, i was in staffing,
and had my own bus, with 3 offices,
low and behold,
now after 9-11
i am doing what i love, working with cars,
as a service manager,
more happy with less than 1/2 the money,
what can you do, just try your best.

Thanks Guys!

Very much appreciated! A plan is coming together, ... I am going to Norther VA next week, to talk with the owner of a performance parts manufacturer about helping them catch-up on some of the orders they are currently back-logged on. I had just purchased a CNC Mill, before the lay-off ... and was considering selling it. But I would MUCH rather put it into fulltime use, making some special parts of his and my own design!

Things are taking shape, .. a little.

Phatdad's car was getting ready to go out the door, the week that I lost my job. ... Since he was going on vacation for a couple of weeks, .... he VERY Graciously offered to put off the pick-up date until he gets back from vacation at the end of April!

I needed a few days to get my head back on straight!!

I was going through the range of emotions one would expect, ... so it was best I didn't force myself to do the critical tuning and finishing operations before delivering his car!

Thanks! ... Bob

Bob, you really should get into installing Hahn turbos for all makes of cars Hahn makes turbos for, get a strong commercial Website that advertises your speed/performance services, and perhaps be willing to also do some mod/cosmetic installs. Some hot rod hobbyists I know are now working in their own hot rod speed and custom shops they opened themselves and they're turning away customers. One of them makes a very nice income just re-selling Moon and Summit parts. Good luck.

Don't sell that MILL!!!

It could be what you need to make custom parts. I know guy that has a 1 car garage that you litary have to squeeze by machines to get around. Thats how he supplements his car fix. ( has a 68 camaro he's building.

any take some time to settle, then look at it from a fresh point of view. If you fish... then fish

Good luck! We Are With You!

Bob,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. If it helps any, I am ready to ship you my engine for the mods. Are you still able to do it? If not let me know. If the answer is yes, please let me know where to ship it. Better days are coming.

Very Cool Brain!

Sorry I haven't been here for a couple of days, ... but I said on here, a few posts above, that I was going out of town for a few days!

Bring it on Brain, ... I'm ready to go if you are!

Thanks, ... Bob
