Sorry Gordo. I just envisioned you as a 15-17yr old kid and almost reached through the computer monitor to dot your eye.
Hoyt- I would tease you, but my daughter is only 3 years behind yours. Makes me want to smack the shit out of random 16yr old boys for no reason. lmao

Bought a new truck last Friday, I have this Friday Saturday Sunday off and Jarrod is coming home from college for the week end. I hoping to break the new truck in proper with some blood in the bed!!!
That reminds me ..... a buddy recently went to by a new truck. While at the dealership, someone backed into his current truck & turned into a hit & run. He got that all sorted out, bought the new truck & he soon wrecked the new one. All in less than 3 hrs. How's that for breaking in ??

Two wrecks in one day, one with the old and one with the new???? I'd hate too be his agent lmao....

Dec 1st I start my new job at odot. I've been applying there like crazy, and if all goes well, I plan on being there for the longevity of my working career. I'll be taking a pretty hefty pay cut, but I know I'll skimp by for a while. Pretty excited to start this new job.
Congrats on the new job.... Make sure you take advantage of heir retirement system as well.... If they offer a 401 with matching $$ max that out too he most you can afford.... You'll enjoy that down the road.... Trust me there.....
A guy I know that works there said they match his and a half. He puts in 100. They put in 150
Put as much as you can afford.... I know it's a pain and you don't see the immediate benefits but down he road when you get too my age you'll be glad you did.....
I can vouch for that because I'm there now and did it when I was your age....

x2. Best thing you can do at a young age is put it away. The more years of compounding interest the better. Guys who got 6-12% returns but started in early 20's have always retired more comfortably than the guys rolling the dice hard to get 30% returns one year and negative returns the next two. Slow and steady.
Congrats on the new job.
Thanks guys. And huck honestly I'm not sure. I would imagine being a state job that it is a union.

Some positions are, others and most of management isn't. It all depends. You'll get a lot of advice from old timers there (and there are a lot retiring these days) about retirement and crap. Phil, Jesse, and J give good advice too.
