Return to Oregon? I wish…and website migration is coming.

I am not sure who still reads this, or if this is still needed.

I am in the progress of migrating this site to another domain I own as I am phasing out a nick name given to me in a dark time, it sounded cool at the time I guess I ran with it when my name used to be G and I was into Warren G back in 2001 – 2002.

On top of this I am working out for my goal to come back to Oregon, I am pushing to sell off my S12 stock and work on a few goals before making the push and heading back to Oregon, I wont be happy until I do.

Brief history, I was chased out of Central Oregon by Redmond Computer in Redmond Oregon by Michael McGee. I loved it up there, I love everything about the Pacific North West and now I want to return extremely bad. I was chased out because things wasn’t communicated at all, when I questioned things I would not get an answer and it came to a point I was held against my own will over a website I’ve made for a friend out of love.

Currently I own a home in Vegas, instead of renting, I have placed myself into an investment home and I am looking for a job to relocate to when I do make the move. Problem I currently have is my struggle with work, I also struggle of the location thanks for the Oct 1st of 2017 I am deathly afraid to go to work because I work off the strip but I do so everyday.

I have no immediate ties here in Vegas, I can technically leave at any moment for the right deal. I was born and raised in this town, my heart is not in this town at all, I am interested in anywhere in the pacific northwest so we will see how things will turn out.

Moving forward..

I have recently turned in my plates due to a mess up with DMV, so I am a bit in limbo if I am driving this weekend or not, I might actually drive to the track but if I do it will be most likely G riding it somehow or if I can figure out the issue with DMV. if I end up going I might just slide some at the wet track.

My new plans is now in effect as the VG30S project was only temp until I found a better option for seek of more power. I’ve acquired an vg30de from an j30 from here I’ve plan to do some rebuilding.

Being discouraged to go further with this carb vg30s

Well, it was a fun project. I got to think outside the box and do something a bit retro and newish. 

I am a hands on person, I learn by having a hands in project and it is fun for me to learn new things especially outside the box stuff. instead of giving me a hand I get insults after insults on doing such project and this makes me want to give up all together with it. Still it sucks when that is all the wording I am getting the most when I am doing this project and rarely I get any kudos on it or any-type of encouragement. 

My career is in IT with Desk Side hardware / software stuff and I actually hate it. But I also work 10 – 12 hour days sometimes even longer depending on the project so I have little time to start with then other people who do not respect your projects nor hobbies and even side jobs and always demanding me to drop everything. 

It only takes a bit of negativity to ruin a project, this project is tarnished as it labels me as a stupid person and it might have a cool factor to it until the story hits from others about who did what and not knowing who I am and what I do already.  So there is no point to keep this project going, what this project is going to get is a completely new motor and start over keeping everything under-wraps until I am done and it is driving and I am back at the track again with out the fear of being ridiculed because of this person did this or that person did that when all I did was ask for some assistance.
