I finally got an interview with Epic Aircraft.

I tried to apply online and the response was crickets, that's not something I'm used to.

I kept an eye on their site and noticed that they were hosting a "career day" where you could show up with a resume and talk to some of the hiring managers.

When I sat down and talked face to face with these people, I got the usual expected response, they damn near did backflips in their seats and were noticeably excited to have me in front of them.

Several departments wanted me to work for them but it looks like I'm going to end up starting out in quality control doing various inspections on parts, sub-assemblies and the fuselage.

I just hope I make it past any drug screens they may have since recreational pot is legal here in Oregon.  :stoned:

Spent an hour at Foyle's, browsing books.

Your new job comes with great side effects.

It does indeed. Some people see the sights, I visit the bookstores.

I did not know that you had moved to Oregon. I am still floating around here in Indiana.

I have spent much of the summer teaching my (now sixteen year old) son how to shoot both handguns and rifles. He is not worth crap at shooting a handgun, but not so bad with my 10.22 Ruger, Mini 14 Ruger or my .270 Win Remington 700 bolt action. He shot my 1100 Remington 12 Ga once and said, "Nope Nope. Nope!" A bit too much for him, I suppose. When I was six after spending all day shooting a single shot .410 my grandfather put a double barrel 12 Ga on my shoulder and told me that it was about the same but a little stronger. I landed on my ass and everyone had a big laugh.
I am not doing that to him. We are going at his speed.

Hey, good luck with the interviews!!

Hi Pappy, I think it is really cool that you are getting a job in a field you are interested in. Or obsessed with? ;)
