    On a side,
    I like what I do now, HD is a great company to work for, much better than what I came out of.

    About 4 weeks ago they sent one of the corporate jets, a falcon 900, to fly to me Atlanta as part of a award I was nominated and chosen for, It was awesome, from the jet to dinner with the CEO and senior leaders, to spending a day and half at corporate offices, not many companies will recognize their employees like that and I was and am honored by it.

    Do they have a Mechanical Foreman positions open? I'm sure they are looking for multi-trade.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    I used to be in outside sales for a Fortune 100 company until I had major surgery on my low back (Fusion). After that my back only got worse, forcing me into retirement at 34 because of disability. I used to be a gym rat :muscleflexing: like @Sean266 (he's a stud, BTW) before surgery. I would wake up a 4 am to get my workout in before heading to work around 7. I'd workout for about 2-2.5 hours. That was back in the day when Gold's Gym was the place to be. Now they've sold out and I cannot even step into a gym :pout:.
