Hanging up my buckets and hoses and heading west for an eng M-F 9-5ish gig.

Commissioned to work on a wet lab revamp last Aug, approved schematics Sept and finally a month ago got the green light to start...great timing packing up the house and starting renos before sale.

Of course what they send me for equipment specs what they tell me they have ordered aren't what they received, "workplace safety", etc, etc, etc, throws the material count and size to pot...gotta roll with the punches.

Yep...no turning back...a pretty sweet deal was negotiated and I would be a fool to refuse.

Since 1990 I worked in various LFS and "installation/service" side jobs while attending university and post grad. After disappointing corporate jaunts working in my field of study, I found purpose and fulfillment making a career from this hobby in 2002.

With a young family, the rewards aren't worth the risks anymore.

Shaking the 24/7 shackles, I can focus on my family and with the "age and wisdom" deal with the corporate&political climate of a lucrative new career. When we find a place to settle and build upon, I will finally get to build my own frikking dream system with no compromises.

I thank with all of my heart, the friendships, those whom I have collaborated with, past and present clients, suppliers, those that will listen to my ramblings etc, the pleasure and honour has been all mine.

It's not a goodbye, just a change in geographical location.

For sure I'll keep popping in GTAA...unless I do something that garners me the BANHAMMER...BAHAHA!

No worries, I can turn the monitor to compensate for that.
Man, you will be missed. I always enjoyed reading your expert advises.
I wish you good luck at the new place and new career.
