Farewell and So Long Tomorrow is moving day to Fort Collins, Co.
If I don't get a chance to say bye to some of you personally consider this my farewell. I'll be home to visit but it's time for me to do some growing up. It's about time I went and realized my full potential after half-assing it for years.
A special shout-out to the guys at G-Force. They let me hang around the shop long enough to hire me on and keep me there for a while. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I can't thank them enough for giving me an opportunity to do what I really love.
And to the rest of you, well, it's been real, it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun.
Peace!

Most people don't understand my reasons for leaving and honestly it's difficult to explain.
I feel as though I've been stuck in mediocrity for years. And I know I'm capable of so much more. I really do believe I can do anything I want, but I've been content to settle on just getting by. I don't wanna get by, I wanna make it to the top, so it's time to put my nose to the grindstone and get to work.
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. That kinda thing.

Glad to see you making some hopefully good decisions to get ahead. Too many people are lazy nowadays, it is easier to sit around and complain about things you can't afford, instead of actually doing something about it.

Man we are going to miss ya. I think it's a great decision on your part and you ARE capable of doing anything you set your mind to. I've actually learned a good bit from you myself.
Thanks and farewell buddy!

Good luck on the road Ben, keep your nose down and life will reward you.
Just make sure you pay more attention to your surroundings, nothing like seeing a man get turned around within 4 miles of where he just came from in broad daylight!
Once again, good luck Ben.

It was great getting to know you and enjoyed all the good times and laughs. You will do great at no matter what you want to do. Just stay low and keep chopping your feet(in the words of coach Jones)! I'll be in Vegas from the 23-28th of March, so if you wanna come win me some money, I'll split it with ya
Keep in touch brotha!

Those are great pictures, John. I won't soon forget those races. I'm excited about the new challenges that I'll face, and I'm sad about some of the things I'm leaving behind, but it's something I have to do. I'll stay in touch I promise.
Best of luck to you, Ben. I was rudderless until I was about 24 years old, then the light went on and I realized there's more to life than making time to goof off rather than get ahead. Some people realize this sooner than others, and some never realize it at all. Sounds like you've got your head clear and are going in the right direction.
Stay cool and keep in touch.
