I had a meeting today with the owner of my company, to express my displeasure at having the rug pulled out from under me after 24 or so years of service. The meeting went very well, so well in fact that I have reinvented myself and have kind of talked myself into a promotion and a different job classification.

Ill be managing some projects we have in North Dakota, fly out Sundays, fly home midday fridays..corporate card etc.

This is of course going to put a damper on my racing/de schedule..


Any racetracks out in Bismark? or nearby?

I restart work on tuesday, I have an interview on monday with another firm just in case they make a better offer

it's cold.
Bismarck is spelled with a 'c'.
there are lots of long runways in Minot, but you can't run a car there.
i think flying in and out of Bismarck Municipal Airport in the winter will get old in a big hurry.

i couldn't find anything resembling a racetrack for hundreds of miles in any direction.

Great waterfowl hunting, the North Dakota Badlands are very cool- http://www.nps.gov/thro/ -, Teddy Roosevelt's favorite place.
good collage hockey. cars and racing? tractor pulls and pickups are a sure bet.

Ill be starting within the the next 2 weeks

At first I think I just have a meet and greet with the poepl in ND, then spend a bit more time there

Im a hands on engineer/tech guy, apparently this job is my marketing... so it a whole new ballgame for me

the engineers side of my brain doesnt allow me to BS... but I know marketers have to do this..

We will know how it works in a few weeks guess...
