Cool. I do it for a living and it is a crazy job. It think you are wise for doing what you do!

Hah, I wish.

I am a technician at a Ford dealership by profession. I dabble in sound on the side and run the board for services at church. I don't do anything professionally and I'm just starting to get into car audio stuff. That was prompted by the realization that the radio I put in my Ranger has a built in graphic equalizer.

i do everything audio/visual at church also.. i enjoy it.
now i just need to get a job at ford.. i would like to, i think...

Funny I have a second job working for my church running sound. I really like it and getting up at 4:40 on Sunday mornings is always a joy

Definitely replace the clutch while you're at it, unless it's brand new. If the flywheel teeth are worn, flip it or replace it. Do the rear seal (mine's currently leaking but I ain't pullin' it. I'd rather just keep adding oil unless it gets really bad.) Clean the engine really good so you can spot future gasket leaks. Replace the ground cable between engine and frame if it looks bad. Since Fords have that annoying twin-I-beam system making it a pain in the %#@ to get to your oil pan, change that gasket and while the pan is off, grab your lower rods and make sure they're tight on the crank and not worn. Clean the sludge out of your oil pan and if there's a magnet, clean it off too.

I like what I do, but I don't care for what it does to me. I am sad to say that there aren't too many days that go by at work when I don't harbor some very unchristian thoughts towards one particular co-worker and at least 2 or 3 customers. I can take a crazy job, I can take crazy people. It's stupidity that I don't handle well.

I hear that. Thursday night practice, rush home from work, eat on the go, Sunday up earlier than any other day. And with me working a lot of Saturdays, well, I don't get too many days of pure rest. Not like I should any way.

Oh you lucky duck. I used to live 5 min walk from the church I could roll out of bed at 7:45, drag my feet, and still be there on time. Now it's a 40 min drive. Up at 6, out the door by 7, and if it isn't foggy and there aren't a bunch of cops, I can be there on time.
