Yep. That's the plan. I'm already out of the classroom now in a staff development position. Next step is assistant principal! The last two years of this program have been taxing. I'm still wondering if I made the right decision lol.

Yeah -- in watching what the administrators at my wife's school have to deal with I always think people are crazy to make that move. However, the pay is a lot better, which may be a driving force in your decision. Hard for me to say, since just the mere thought of working in education would make me want to blow my head off with a shotgun -- other than the summers off......

Let me know what ya think of it. I have proof how it looks on mine, lol.

Speaking of Kodiak Brown we were at Mc Donalds and a guy was sitting in his car, I got in the truck and he walked up to the winder. He asked what color is this I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, it was black when I walked by and looked back to look for the Wife and it was 100 percent brown. Walked up to it and it's black again, I told him twice the name and he was writing it down when I backed out

The wife has decided she no longer likes her 2014 Fusion. So we went to my buds dealership and she drove and fell in love with the new Escape Titanium. All he had in stock was dark colors and dark colors around here is like buying a 4 wheel microwave- way too hot!. So today I had a shot of brilliance and we went to another friends Lincoln dealership. She looked at the MKC and she likes that even better, imagine that. But all they had on the lot in white was with white leather. She hates a white interior so they're looking for a black leather interior for her. While we were there I walked around and found what has to be one of the sexiest cars I've seen in a long time- the Lincoln MKZ. Geez, I could give up driving a truck for one of these.....maybe. Can you believe, an optional 3.0 V6 making 400HP? White Platinum MSRP at 35 grand ain't a bad start.

My buddy moved from a 2012 A3 to a loaded MKZ and said he will never go back!

I tried it out yesterday and I'm sold on it. It was so easy to wipe off with no smears anywhere and the paint gained about 5' in depth The Meguiars I've always used is a PITA to get off, you'd always find a smear on at least one body panel.

snooping around on Lincoln's website. I see 2017 Lincoln Continental is out.

And then there's this gem. Quite interesting

Nice facelift on the new Lincoln's. The mesh type grill looks better then the vertical bars. Dual turbo 3.0 ought to fly!

Haha. I love it, man. And the summers off are sweet, even though I know that's the part you hate the most about your wife being in education
