Well my son told us some good news at dinner today....he got a new job.
Back story...
Son lives at home here with girlfriend. She had a troubled home and he wanted her out of there. This ain't no youngster kid...he's 33 now.
He never really sorted his life out just having simple work on and off all these years. Two years ago my wife suggests he go to community college to complete his degree and also get a A&P license. With that he could work anywhere. Well he worked hard at school and got both licenses this past summer. He went to work at a place at San Jose airport working on avionics, an area he wanted to specialize in.
Last January we told them both that a year from now they wouldn't live with us....meaning we would kick them out. Incentive I called it.
Tonight he announces that he got a job with Gulfstream Aerospace in ...wait for it......Appleton, Wisconsin.
Yeah this California kid is moving to the cold midwest. (Pat have any advice?)
He will be working with the avionics of these multimillion dollar aircraft. I used to be wise to business aircraft back in my flying days but haven't been close to that business in many, many years.
Although I wanted him out on his own...Wisconsin is pretty far away. Happy and sad.
