Quick Upd8 [back in NH]

To answer those frequent questions, this is where I'm at right now:

SWM living in Hanover, NH. In debt but a temp-to-hire job in Keene, NH (Precitech) will hopefully solve this short-term problem. Graduated from Northeastern Univ in 2006 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and though I have had about 6 engineering jobs, only one was a full-time position which was down around Atlanta for about 2 years (Alum-a-lift). I plan to go take the GRE and apply to Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering where I would eventually hope to get into the Entrepreneurship Track. Farther down the road I'd hope to start my own company making stuff (not one particular thing, multiple things).

That's about it, add your comments and I'll respond to them.

1st "blog" [to-do list]

I'm supposed to be in Atlanta eating a delicious home-cooked meal right now, instead I just woke up in Surry, NH after falling asleep while watching utube videos.

Rather than try to make this 1st "blog" seem more interesting than it really is, I'm going to start my blogg-er-ating off right. Here is my current to-do list:

To-Do
Pick and print pictures for photo album for Paul (this was meant to be an X-mas 2008 gift. Better late than never)
Print pix of VT round barn for Butch (arcadia roundbarn, I visited this on my motorcycle trip)
Download more ebooks (most likely from Librivox which is free but sometimes the people reading suck)
Organize computer files (including my desktop with 4 partitions, portable harddrive, laptop, thumbdrive, CD/DVD backups and emails to myself)
Search for a job (ok, I actually tried to do this today. I need a short-term job for the next year or so because I plan on....)
GREs / apply to grad school (I started at Northeastern but now plan to restart at either Dartmouth, Keene State, or somewhere in boston)
Overpass cafe, Tucson, AZ (I need to send these people a couple bucks and a thank you. I had to pay in cash but had no $ for a tip)
Motorcycle to Hanover (currently at my mom's. need to get someone to ride it up or else get a ride down to Surry from Hanover)
Address change/ license and car registration (waiting for money to be less tight... maybe after I pay off John, Paul, and/or Mom)
Pay off debts, then become rich, give-back to the community, become famous for being nice, have 10,000 people at my funeral
Start writing my book (title tbd, basically An Engineer Between Jobs Takes a Motorcycle Trip and Does the Graduate Thing)
Make an electric car with Uncle Joe (get drafting table from him at the same time)
Mail Alum-a-lift a letter (that's where I used to work... hi Alum-a-people!)

Reminders
Get Paul to bring wth him.... My tommy Hilfigger pillow, my Dickies hoodie, knotty pine cedar-lined box, matress pad, and my 4 iron
