      Anyone need help?

      I've got some vacation time and wanted to use it wisely. Can anyone use some help with their project? A pro shop or garage build it doesn't matter to me. I live in the Bay Area (NorCal) but have family in SoCal (LA) so heading south would be possible also. I just want to do something with my time that will help me learn something new. Just a thought for some of you.

      he⋅ro  /ˈhɪəroʊ/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [heer-oh] Show IPA

      –noun, plural -roes; for 5 also -ros. 1.a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.2.a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal: He was a local hero when he helped a fellow Pro-Tourer with the motor swap on his 1969 Camaro.


      A true, un-selfish act does not go un-noticed here. Kudos to you Jose for your kind offer. Good job.

      I believe I've got about four weeks but I have to see how much time my boss will allow me to take off. Its' really not up to him but he can be a d*** when we want to take time off and I don't want to deal with his shennanigans when I come back.

      ZuperZport, just trying to help out and possibly learn a thing or two in the process. Far from being a hero but thank you.

      No problem, just send me a plane ticket. Lol.

      No it sounds like a good idea. Are there and pro shops near you. You could vollunteer your time and if they like what you do maybe you could make a career switch.

      I'm far from having any kind of skill level that would allow me to make a career change. However, everyone could use an extra set of hands from time to time and I thought this would be a productive way to spend my vacation. Someone gets to boss me around and I get to learn something, I hope lol.

      If you were in Michigan I'd be all over the offer, if it was still out there in a month. Unfortunately, a ticket from Cali to Michigan isn't in the car budget. Kudos to you though and even though I can't take advantage, much appreciated.

      Unfortunately I can't afford any plane tickets. Alot of views but not too many posts. I guess no one can use some free help with their project.

      Maybe I should take a roadtrip across the US and take some of you up on the offer to help someone. Seems like no one in California or on the West Coast for that matter needs the help.
