Any way went to Walmart to load him up on food and snacks. Certainly won't be able to go many places to get food and they really only get 30 minutes for a meal break.

What does he do?

He works for a big sign manufacturer. They do all the signs for CVS, Walgreens, Chase and more. Really, really big signs. He does the electrical, reads the blue prints, figures materials and such. I guess anything that needs doing. Kind of like putting together a really big jigsaw puzzle.

Finished off with some SeaFoam and Valvoline 10w-40

I'll start the day off tomorrow with a GNC protein bar and a freeze plug for a Buick...I eat AND work while at work, and don't camp out too much; it's an odd concept I know.

I'm still going to make fun of you when you post ambiguous sentences involving food and car parts.

We actually met when we were both working at a sign company. He was of course in the shop. I was assistant to the VP. Any way our group did all the permitting and survey work for the company. For example when Bank of America buys a bank we send teams out to where ever all the branches (all over the US) are and take measurements and pictures of EVERYTHING so we can change it all out. Then we had to get the appropriate permits for each jurisdiction for the signage and see what's allowed and such. Was sometimes a BIG pain depending on the area.

Typically a change out happpens over a long weekend. On Friday it was NationsBank, on Tuesday morning they were all Bank of America. It was very stressful, but very amazing when it all came together.
