Moving on down to Florida
 
Well, its been a while since I gave an update. Last thread on this subject for me was back in January when I said I was going down on a job search. Well,, today is the day. I already got most of my stuff down there. Now I am taking the rest. Got a couple leads on jobs to carry me over till a good paying one pulls through. A positive is that I passed the initial testing for Gainesville Police and now just have to wait to hear from them following my background check. Not exactly on the water, but they pay well. I can always try for one closer to the water, as I intend to do. If anybody needs to find me, I will be at ChrisK's place. Gracious enough to let me stay there. Lookin forward to getting together with my fellow brothers and sister in my new state as soon as possible. Talk to you guys later.

You think ChrisK has room for two more, one dog, two boats and three vehicles;)
I'm excited for you, your a step ahead of me.
We are coming down the firs of April for recon work towards the same end.
Good luck Bro, I'll be thinking about you durring our preperation work.
It'll be fun to share a beer together the first time after getting down there and on our feet.

Good Luck, may all your wishes come true, after mine that is :crazy:

gmhdfan 03-17-2004 06:17 AM

Well it's not on the water, but sure has alot of girls from the college. Just think if you were working there this week you might be working the Gator Nationals. You better learn to be a Gators fan if you live in that town. Good luck.

jafo 03-17-2004 06:42 AM

Best of luck to you- we wish we lived down there too.:(
I'm sure the two of you will stay out of trouble...:rolleyes: :D

Welcome to the sunny state, home of more "blue hairs" than any othe spot on earth. BUT, great thongs on females, GREAT boating, and the worst voting history in the country. :D

Best of Luck to you. The wife and I talk about packing up and moving to Fla. all the time. We just don't have the balls to leave 2 decent jobs.

Here is what ya missed for bike week matt....Thats Jason next to me on a fatboy he rented for the day...

Ange 03-18-2004 06:47 AM

Yea, I got the phone call. I think they WAITED until they were drunk to call. lol At least I know Jason made it safe and sound. With Chris in the background "I made him call this time!" I should call and wake them up this morning.....

CigDaze 03-18-2004 07:15 AM

Great to hear, RWI. Good luck. :cool:

ChrisK 03-18-2004 07:42 AM

No helmet law down there???

Tantrum 03-18-2004 08:23 AM

Those dam background checks always screw me up :eek:

ChrisK 03-18-2004 08:44 AM

No there is no helmet law in FL.. they took it off the books about 5 years ago. The ONLY time I ride without a helmet and gear is during bike week and biketoberfest in Daytona... You can only do about 10 MPH in town with all the traffic anyway...

Joe Todesca 03-18-2004 08:58 AM

Best of Luck Rollwithit ! Following your dreams says alot!
Be safe ,have fun . Jo

RollWithIt 03-18-2004 11:26 AM

Thank you guys for the well wishes. I got in last night at about 1140 pm. So the main priority was to unload the truck and then go get some beer. Long day on the road. but worth it cause yesterday it was snowing in Pittsburgh and today its sunny and in the 80's here. I think I did the right thing. (ask me again in the middle of summer:confused: )

Unfortunately Gainesville is not on the water. But I am looking into a couple departments that are on the water. So hopefully something will work out for me. And I will never turn my back on my school. Gonna go out and hang up all kinds of Pitt banners and flags in front of where ever I move to if its in town. :D

Twin O/B Sonic 03-18-2004 11:42 AM

O.K., NOW I'M GEEKED!!
 
We're two weeks behind your ass!!
I just confirmed another interview in Ft.Myers while down.
Our goal is to come home a week later with two jobs and a place to live, turn in our 30 day notice to employers/landlord and haul ass!!
Little boat almost ready and Sonic still has two power heads on the work bench and lowers in parts on the floor:eek:
The good news is I figured out how to repair everything up here, spent all Winter collecting spare parts, and should be good to go.
5 cranks,6 sets of carbs, 6 sets of heads, 2 sets of pistons, and 4 sets of props:p
Should get me through the first Summer anyhow;)
Rollwithit, you rock Brother!! I'm happy for you!
Gary

RollWithIt 03-18-2004 11:50 AM

Here I though I was having boat issues to get mine down here. I just need to get a bigger truck to tow it with. Other than that, its ready to splash. Cant emphasize how fortunate I've been with the reliability with this boat. ( knock on wood )

Now I just need to find a job to start bringing in cash till something bigger pans out. :D

Ange 03-18-2004 11:51 AM

Down Chris, down! At least you guys called this time. Unlike before.... I take it you all survived being Irish for a night. I crashed after finally getting to leave work. Hope you hoisted a couple for me!

RollWithIt 03-18-2004 12:04 PM

Yes we survived. And I am a little Irish everyday of the year. Something about genetics. LOL. We hoisted a couple for a few people. Actually, we didnt get too wasted at all. Got there late and were too busy laughing at all the idiots. :crazy:

ChrisK 03-18-2004 01:54 PM

and there where planty of them to laugh at also!

Ange 03-18-2004 05:39 PM

Sometimes it's just best to grab a drink and an out of the way place to observe and just watch what goes on. You never know what you might see. We went to IHOP last Saturday morning and had to park in the back of the lot. Went around a corner and there was some chick sitting in a guy's lap in the driver's seat of a car. And let me tell you, they had NO idea anyone in a huge deisel F-350 rode by....

CigBoat 03-18-2004 08:57 PM

Welcome from another newbie! I just moved to Sarasota the first of march. I have been loving every minuite! The weather and boating have been great! Are you guys going to be at the St Cloud races? We should hook up for some beers!
Todd

RollWithIt 03-19-2004 12:34 PM

Definately planning on being there at the races. I know a few members should be there. I just dont know if I will have the boat here in time for that or not. Keep running into delays on that part. :hothead: We will have to hook up though and have a couple.

Ange, you are right about that. Besides, I can only tolerate drunk idiots bumping into me for a little while. Like seconds. Then I am ready to strangle somebody. Of course, I dont mind when the idiots are girls. :D
