Does anyone here have Jack's contact info or heard from him lately? He used to be one of the regulars and I enjoyed hearing from him. Hasnt been on here in a long time. I know he was travelling a lot for work, but he would check in occassionally. I have a few guys personal info but not his.

Was online Yesterday, or Today in Yesterday land there. Often hangs out in Lobby.

Hi Kerry, thank you for asking, it's been a long time but Wallington is right I do check in from time to time but typically I'm on here for a quick minute. Had health issues that's not yet resolved but working 60+ hour weeks and traveling is not helping. The entire summer is over and I haven't done anything car related or fun including cooking out (and I've yet to use that fancy grill that I got the year before). Anyways I can go on but I guess that's life and the times we are living in...

Jack, wishing you all the best. Please make time for yourself!

At the end of their life, no one ever says “I wish I would have spent more time at work”

Make some time NOW for the people you care about and make time (as in plan it, schedule it) to do something you enjoy doing.

Bingo

Life is too short to not do the things you wanna do.

Good to hear from you Jack, yes as noted above please take care of yourself.

Thank you all, I'm hopeful things will improve in a month or so. I am determined to at least move the birds before winter and I need to catch up here as well.

Just came home from another trip but managed to have fun this time. A coworker invited me to dinner and this was a very pleasant surprise.

Very nice! Which model Lambo is it?

Jack · « **Reply #12 on:** September 24, 2023, 08:12:48 AM »

06 Gallardo. It was a blast but not the same as driving an early 70s Firebird. I prefer my 71, when it ran/last drove it

kentucky yeti · « **Reply #13 on:** September 24, 2023, 11:16:31 AM »

2006 Gallardo. That's what this one is, that my buddy used to leave at my place. Fun cars!

roadking77 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 25, 2023, 06:00:05 AM »

Looks like you were having a hard time catching up to that f150! LOL
Thats one of those cars I would probably love if I ever drove one, but honestly have no desire for any kind of supercar. I felt the same way about vettes, to me they were ok, but again no real desire for them. Then a buddy of mine took me for a ride and let me drive his Z06 and I was hooked. I have been tempted lately to sell the birds and get a 2020 vette but then I slap myself back into reality.

Have some good news to share, I guess all of the hard work paid off as today I was promoted to VP of Engineering. I guess I was doing something right but now will have less time to myself.

FormTA · « **Reply #16 on:** December 06, 2023, 03:51:35 PM »

Congratulations! Hope the pay reflects that too!

Save some money too!

kentucky yeti · « **Reply #17 on:** December 06, 2023, 04:05:21 PM »

Wow! Congratulations, Jack. Well done, and from all I've read from your travels- WELL DESERVED!!!

Jack · « **Reply #18 on:** December 06, 2023, 07:03:20 PM »

Thank you, can't complain about the pay and the workload is manageable. Also there should be less travel as the firm is trying to find ways to reduce expenses.

Great news Jack. Congratulations and well-deserved. I wish you all the best with the new position!

Congratulations on your promotion. I hope you get to spend some more time at home. When I was younger I thought how glamourous it was to be traveling all of the time for business. I had a friend that was on the road 5 days a week. On his vacation time and days off he stayed and did nothing. Was tired of going places. I realized then that it may not be what it seems like.

Congrats on your promotion my friend!

Congratulations Jack, that's great news! I hope this is a rewarding position for you and hopefully you can still find time to do what you love.
