after 11 months of working in SC while my wife and kids held down the fort in MI, i've landed a job with another brake supplier in MI and i'm headed back to the mitten next week! i turned in 2 weeks notice yesterday afternoon, but since i'm going to "a competitor" i was told that yesterday was my last day, which is cool because i get to enjoy some more NC and SC mountain-bike trails before loading up and heading back to MI on the 19th.
through it all, i've relied on my GRM family to help keep my sanity. so i thank all of you for helping me make it through what i hope is the "or worse" part of my marriage vows.
oh, during the interview, one of the chief engineers saw the GRM brake article (June '08) on my resume and asked if i had ever done the challenge. when i told him i've been to every challenge since '02, he said "we should do a challenge car here. i've got an AWD turbo talon out back."
