Coming back after a long absence.

But another thing that makes me happy is I am now employed again. I got into the Navy as a Naval Warfare Officer, and will be specializing in undersea warfare. Going to be an XO on one of the new subs in a few years if all goes well. Finally a career that may stick and a job that is steady where I can start planning for retirement one day, and have benefits, etc. If you cant teach...do in my case I guess.

I am just glad to be earning money again.

Oh and I have a car again too. Points to anyone who guesses what it is  ;D

Welcome back buddy!! That's quite the update!! WOW!!! Congrats on the new role :D

As for the car, that's a tough one to guess without many hints. I know you wanted another Alfa, but maybe that's down the road... so who knows?

You got it! Bought it back from my brother, gave it some much needed TLC and new tires...and it is now my daily. The amount of fun just driving to the store is fantastic.
