Wannabe to Watkins Shepard Driver

Bummer, just got a call from school (trans tech) and they have pushed my start date back another two days. So now I'm scheduled to start on 03/23/11. Well this is out of my control so no reason to get upset just have to make the adjustment and deal with it. But on the other hand I really really want to get started!

 

Told me one of the instructors was going to have surgery ??

 

Well here we go again, got a call yesterday afternoon from the school and guess what, pushing the start date back to 03/28/11. So now I will start exactly one month later than originally planned. That's OK gave me a chance to tune up the mower, clean up the lawn, cut a few bushes and know a few things off the honey do list. I don't know if they are going to be ready for me, I have so much built up energy for this it could be a problem! We'll see.

 

Thanks ODX. Ya buddy, changing my status from wannabe to student! Start tomorrow at 07:45 rain or shine. Can't wait, this has taken about two and a half months from the time I committed to this new career to starting school. First I had to check out schools in my area; really only two CVCC and Trans Tech. Then had to find a way to pay for it, WIA. Then jump through all the hoops for the government money. And finally wait on an opening at the school just to have it postponed twice.
Not one to sit around I bought a '48 jeepster and have been restoring it. Got it back from the paint shop last week and hope to have the engine back in by the end of this week. I hope I have time to work on it after school each night, I guess it depends on the amount of home work I get. One thing that I don't like about the school is their classes are from 08:00 - 17:00 M-f. What am I to do all morning before class starts? LOL I'm a rise at 05:00 kind of guy no matter what time I go to bed. So I guess this is when I'll do my home work.
I'll try to keep my progress updated here and maybe post a few questions as the arise.

 

This is the Jeepster on the way to the paint shop. What you can't see in this photo is the other side that is mostly primer. LOL not the other side looks as nice as this side.
Hope to sell it before I jump in the truck.
