"I voluntarily took 60 days off from OT"
I apologize, I am brand new to the forum and a brand new C5 owner and I kind of barged in the forums head first with questions. Which, by the way, were answered incredibly fast! I just wanted to try to shoot the bull and see if we have anything else in common. I am an ex-airline pilot and now I fly corporate for Sanderson Farms ( so eat more chicken, so I can buy some rims 
). I am a captain on the, you guessed it, Learjet 31 and the Gulfstream. There is just something about airplanes and corvettes that I have always loved. Lord help us all if they ever develope a Corvette jet! I truly appreciate you guys taking the time to help all of us new guys!!

Congrats on your new vette and welcome to the forum! 
I am a former Marine, and now I do wellbore surveying as well as directional steering in the oil field. After three LS1 TA's I decided to upgrade to a C5 and haven't looked back since.
