Patience

The answer is patience and not talking too much. I suck at both.
Napa ended up looking like long hours and low pay.
A local Police Dept gave me a conditonal offer of employment. I accepted and am now fulfilling all the conditons, Physical, Psych Eval, Fitness Test, Polygraph. I've felt alot like that frog you disected in 7th grade this last week, except for the rotting in biohazard dump part. All of this is really helping me figure who I am and who I am not. Coldplay's X&Y album has helped along the way.
Last month we went and visited a friend from seminary who is now a pastor in Chadron, NE. That was way fun and refreshing. It was great to talk to a fellow traveler on the road beyond evangelicalism. We got to visit Mt. Rushmore and Carhenge.
On the Pinto front, I started wiring power to the computer but the cold here has kept me out of the garage lately.
