    I beleive him Mafia Mama. Chris4x4 and I have chatted about this. It was a big adjustment for him. I went thru the same thing at a different job.You find a way to make it work. And as you can see. He has.

    He can do things like this because they stuck him in a back cubicle near the restrooms where no one can see him. I beleive most of his fellow office workers wish he was back in the field. :annoyed:.

    I work for a small bank managing their facilities.
    Jeep habits are funded with what I make from our bands, I play drums and my wife runs sound.

    Here's a video a friend shot Saturday night, a little tribute to Motley Crue's Shout At The Devil album :)

    Also have an original band that plays a few times a year.





    Same gig, sound check during the day.
