I'll be working out in Reading starting the 14th for a few weeks and staying at a hotel there. I'll be glad to set up a night for LVGP around that timeframe.

Yeah, they do pay for the room. I would commute to earn the mileage, but I'd have to deal with the schukyl(?) everyday. The place I'm working at is actually in Fleetwood, and about 15 miles from my hotel in Reading.

Chu I know what you're going through bud, I spent about 8 years on the road with my last company. I feel very fortunate to be working only 4 miles from home now.

Yeah, I'll definitely meet anyone up for dinner and drinks while I'm out there. Never up in that area for anything so I'll be looking for suggestions on local eateries and such. We can organize and Reading meet while I'm up there! lol

Marc, I actually enjoy the travel. I get so bored in the office after a week. My job is different everywhere I go, so its not routine at all. I'd like to get on the international side of this business someday. I'll send you guys JDM parts, lol

what the hell do you do Chu? Sound like white collar guy to me. I'm one of the "Get your hands dirty" blue collar guys who barely made it out of highschool....haha. Luckily they pay me really well at the Refinery. Probably because there's are a million and one ways to kill myself in here.

Chu thats good you like the travel. I started out that way, per-deim helps ease the pain, but evetually I got sick of being a road dog. Felt like everytime I was home (which was only on the weekend) I had a clock ticking over my head to get **** done. then it was back on the road monday morning. That was when I was single. Now that I'm married I can't imagine not seeing Luke everyday.

I'm a blue collar guy too Jim (if you can't tell from my spelling), I just happen to have developed a set of skills that lets me work from an office. I just barely graduated from one of, if not THE, worst high school in phila, Samuel Fels. Busted my *** to get what I have/where I am today, and I'm still not content.

Jeff I know you get dirty...haha.
Marc, I'm right there with ya. I graduated from Roxborough High School. Luckily I got into a good field of work when I was in the Marines. I learned a lot about electronics and calibration. Luckily it paid off when I got out.
