Possible road trip to OH to assist

As of now, I'll drive to Versailles OH in 2 weeks (Tuesday, 05/15/2012 - Friday, 05/18/2012) to help Mike at Mike's Montes get more pictures on the website & re-write some of the descriptions (which I've already started). It'll get me out of the house a bit & give me an albeit brief road trip.

Not sure yet what routes I will take to & from, but I will most-likely leave Elgin IL before or right after lunch on Tuesday, returning home late Friday evening. If you want me to stop between here & there, or if you're in the Versailles OH area & want to meet up Wednesday or Thursday evening, please let me know....

Hey Court

If you're still looking for work you may want to send your resume to W R Meadows Co. in Hampshire, IL. I've dealt with them off & on for over 20+ years in the construction industry & they are a very reputable, large & financially stable company.

"W. R. MEADOWS is always looking for talented people to join our team. We look for dependable, detail-oriented and hard-working individuals willing to contribute their skills and experience in a fantastic work environment. It’s a great place to work, and we want to hear from you. Please forward your resume, along with a short cover letter, to: careers@wrmeadows.com"

Hey! Thanks for the tip! Yep, still looking ... about to hit the "panic" button, actually. Sad

I will send them my resume to see what happens....

NOT sure yet where I'm staying, but looking at a possible dinner & travel routes....

THURSDAY DINNER

Time ... ~6p-7p to ~8p-9p

IN 49 S (at Chesterton IN)

US 30 E (at Valparaiso IN through Plymouth, Warsaw & Fort Wayne IN)

US 127 S (at Van Wert OH)

OH 185 S (into Versailles OH)

[Or, if I stay in Piqua OH, then I'd take US 30 E all the way to I-75 S]

UPDATE!
As of now, this is still a possibility. Since I'm now in "panic mode" (more medical bills + unemployed with things I've worked for disappearing), a road trip may or may not be a good way to relax....

If you want to meet up along the way or in Piqua OH, let me know.

THURSDAY DINNER

TIME & TOWN remain the same; leaning towards 6p-8p (rather than 7p-9p).

PLACE is TBD. For location reference, BOTH restaurants are on the west side of I-75, but are on opposites sides of US 36.

TRAVEL ROUTE

Still TBD, but since I can "take my time" Tuesday, I may take the ALTERNATIVE route to OH. Then, on the way home Friday, I may take the DIRECT route.
