Just quit my job :0 and moving this weekend..
 

Well just told the bossman that my last day will be nov 19th :shock: feels so weird, hes always been great and supporting of my computer hobby lol always asking me when ive been up to and giving me everyday off ive ever asked for so it really sucked to pull this on him....He wished me well and said is excited for my new opportunity :good:

We are moving to alden ny to some baller new townhouses that just got built. Def upgrade. Going from 700sq ft to 1400sq ft plus garage :thumbsup: I will now have a garage work space and I get the front bedroom for all my computer goodies (GF says eraser is not allowed in the house I ruined the carpet in our apartment rofl)

Im going to be opening my own optical studio in the footsteps and insight of my mother who started her own highly successful practice as well. Already have a building picked out in a prime location, price is right and thats the ball game. All the start up fundage is comming through my parents and my gf's mom that all believe in me to be successful. "pay us back when you start making money comfortably."

All I need to do now is find a new ln2 source, maybe just get 150L dewars rented and delivered to the business. :laughing: oh and some other stuff to I guess ;)

Sorry for blog post but wanted to update my bro's :thumbsup:

Optical studio? You an eye doctor? Please explain and good luck on your new business!! I don't want to work for somebody all of my life either. :)

Wish you the best of luck Spligster. :thumbsup:

Happy for you and best of luck in your new venture bro! :good:

nope! licensed optician :) I will have a doctor :D

Big Gustave's PhD is in 2D overclocking...before he fights crime at night for OCA, he helps old fucks like me see during the day. Best of luck of course Al, we gotz ur backzor.:clapping:

You guys are the best :D
Just filled my 50L and need to empty it before the move, lucky me! time to bench!

PS dont think im going to stop benching, i might take one weekend off of it but its not something Im willing to give up at all.

congrats Al, best of luck to you with the new digs and business. Being your own boss FTMMFW!

Congratulations Allen. Good luck with the new endeavor

congrats and best of luck to both of yall :)

so whats it going to be called OCA LOL

but do take a break and get get every thing rolling and make that paper :thumbsup:

have a safe move....sounds like a nice neighborhood

Nice work, Al. Always nice to see buddies going for it.

"Gettin stuff done" personalities shine through in all aspects of life.

I can't do much for your business from this end of the country, but I'll hit you up for some specs next time my 10 year old breaks his. Lets see, he has a pair coming in the mail right now.......so, that should be in about 2-3 weeks. :laughing:

sweet bro. congratulations. Any closer to Mass???

Big Al, you're moving further away from me, but at least you won't be a yuppie suburbanite eastsider any more.:D
When you get set up, let me know, you have customers waiting. ;)
Best of luck to you buddy.

Congratz my friend and good luck. Now I have to look up where your new home is for the next benching party. :ohcrap:

Alden is between Pembroke and Lancaster on I-90, near the Buffalo Airport. That general area anyway. Roughly 40 min. from me.
Where are you located HR?

Wow!!! sounds awesome splave, congrats and best of wishes for your new venture, :)

Yeah I looked it up. This makes the drive an hour longer for me now :thumbdown: Im in Vestal NY.

Thanks guys for all the kind words! sorry henry ;) maybe I have to visit you instead now.

Would love to have mr.scott and you out henry :D

will you be selling frames/glasses homie? I'm due for a new pair.

hells yes :) anyone that wants from our team I will do for cost

I want x-ray vision... how much?

$1

Sold! :laughing:

Alden eh? Your gonna be in my backyard now man! I can give you a couple LN2 suppliers that are only a 15-20 min drive from Alden. Both are located on Broadway (route 130) in town of Cheektowaga.

FYI, I live about 20 mins away from your new spot (at most).

w00t you need glasses haha??
rofl would love to get in with your suppliers mate any pricing?

Congrats Al,

I wish you the best of luck in the new digs and the fresh start.

If you put half the determination into it that you bench with, the world will be seeing clearer in no time .....

Good luck with your new home and the new business opportunity. I hope it is successful. I just went through some similar life changes as my wife recently took a new job and we relocated back to Atlanta. The uncertainty and newness of everything is both a little unsettling and exciting at the same time.

nice man!
GL!

Good luck at the new homestead. Yer a Yankee!
You shoulda moved to Texas....lot's of folks here need glasses. They drive like they can't see anyhow. Too many hit the D instead of the R in the voting booth too. On the other hand maybe they're taking off the glasses on purpose....lot's of beefy women walking around here that you don't really want to get a good look at.

Will do bro! We'll let you settle a little in the new home and if you need any help you let me know! :thumbsup:

Good Luck OpticalPrime.

Actually im sure my prescription could use an update, but no health insurance atm


$0.50/L from airgas and $1.20/L from Mills Welding.

w0w better than my current they charge 43 for 50L do I tell them jamie sent me rofl.

God luck and damn I wish LN2 was that price here!

Cheapest here is $2.50/L. Airgas wanted $5/L.

About $2 here. :( and FAIL

50 cents a liter I would be in LN2 heaven!

$20 cash for 30L here at Airgas! :thumbsup:

God that's enough to make me want to pack up shop and move to the land of cheap LN2.

they told me it was 1+tax here at airgas
