Back in the Mitten Again

Sittin here chillin after day 2 and jammin to Farmhouse (Phish). The weather is nice and the beers are cold. It's been a good first couple days.

I've spent most of my time meeting people, filling out paperwork and asking questions. It's been good. I got a large stack of papers yesterday that represent everything I need to learn about the processes I'm transferring from Tulsa, OK in the next few weeks. Process specifications, control plans and work instructions. All good stuff. I've also been reading up on the marketing materials for the product line (Motor Guide). I had no idea anglers needed so much control over their boats and positioning.

Saturday night was an amazing send off. I played my last show with None Like Us and it was insane. Diveplane opened for us, and being that they are very good friends that made it even more special. We tore the roof off and the crowd matched our intesity with every acceleration we gave them. Some emotional goodbyes followed a lot of picture taking but things were left well.

I made some amazing friends and did some amazing things in Florida. The greatest part is that no one can take any of it away from me. I have played rythm and lead guitars in a band, gigged regionally in northern and central Florida and recorded an EP. All in a matter of a year and a half. It gets me excited for the next project. I also did some great work and picked up some new skills that will serve me well in this next endeavour. Most importantly, I learned a ton about myself and what I want out of life. Now Meagen and I are taking steps toward that, and we're together, which to me is more important than anything.

Hopefully I'll be posting more frequently now that I have some internet access. I look forward to looking back.
