Going Back to School...

I've thought of this often over the past few weeks.  I have decided I want to go back to school to be a car mechanic.  I am going to ask dad tonight about it and see what he thinks.  I've always had a knack with working on cars.  My first car was a '72 Chevelle and I pampered it.  The major hurdle to doing this is the cost of a tool set and tool box.  Rachel got all my tools in the divorce.

What an awesome idea. Funny, I would think you would go back to do something with computers. Either way I think it's a great idea.

That's a great idea. Sounds like you have found something that you really enjoy doing. Go for it.

My first car was a 70 Challenger.

I dated a mechanic for 5 years and my dad was one, no comment.. ;-)

Something about the smell of burning oil and hot exhausts pacifies me, crazy huh?

I think that's a great idea.

You know it sounds like you have had quite a moment of clarity. What I mean is that it sounds like you have thought about this and aren't rushing into making a decision, which is good sometimes. I think it would be good for you. Just cause you go to school doesn't necessarily mean that you have to rush into getting the job right away either.

You'll do well with anything you decided to do.
My first car was a '68 Chevelle.

Great idea! But what on earth did Rachel want the tools for?
