I've been doing these emblems as time allows, after work, on my own machine at home.
With the world site having gone down, other f***ed up variables in life getting in the way, and getting a job that has a 3 hour commute one way, I've been contemplating getting out of doing emblems and safety bolts. My reputation is worth more than a couple of emblems here and there, especially when I have more going on in life that is really pulling my attention and financial resources away from being able to do these right now. I've got a couple of emblems left to do to get caught up, but I"m pretty much getting bored with them. Do I sell my setup? Just call it quits? Put a time limit on orders and make one last super run of emblems this week for those that want them, and then quit? |

Having come off a long distance job with a 5-6 hour driving time each way, finishing up the outstanding orders and moving on is the right thing to do.
Best of luck in your new gig, and hope everything goes great for you. By the way, the only reason I'm sane is the books on CD at the local library. Hope that you can partake of them while driving and that you can get them either in your home town or in the town of work. Thinking Wyoming, not sure what is avaialble to you. Best of luck in your new gig, it really makes you appreciate your family. |

This is getting off-topic, but if local libraries won't cut it you might want to check out audible.com - they hire actors and authors to read books, and create audio files that are supported by most personal music players, phones, e-readers, etc. A friend who commutes an hour each way swears by them. |

Hey, thanks guys! I will start another thread on the road trip later. It's a twisty winding road over the mountain. A 914 'dream ride' for about 2 of the 3 hours. |

If you have an iphone or android, check out stitcher -- you can stream any podcast on planet earth. There are some great ones depending on what your interests are. This can chew up your data plan though. |

I'll put it on my android phone for areas that I do have signal. |
