Got a job offer in Panguitch, Utah. My old GM in the car business. Building my wonderland. Rodeo arena, Riding Stables, and a Downhill MTB Park! 
 

I’m thinking about it, but it looks like I’m moving!

Best of luck whatever you decide.  
Wish you would’ve stuck out the PNW. 
Weather is perfect. But, I’ll be cursing in 3 months about the rain 😂

He flew down here to come to the bull riding I put on. Should have known something was up. 
 

I’d be employee #2 at the resort he’s building. Told me I’d have a job and a place to stay for the rest of my life. Him and his brother have always treated me like family. 
 

Not sure how I’m going to pull this off yet, but I’m pretty dang sure I’m going.

Panguitch is an awesome area.  It’s on our shortlist when we retire in a couple years.  Jump on it !

Panguitch is an awesome area. We usually head down around Christmas time and ride the canyons.  So much fun and warmer than Tooele.

You do realize that the Wright’s are from Milford, UT. Probably the most prolific name in Saddle Bronc history. I mean there’s a gaggle of them.

He’s kept telling me, “Just come to Panguitch and do what you do”. It’s all making sense now. He knows I’m in to Downhill MTBs, Horses, and Rodeo. I’ll have to take up snowboarding. 
 

My plan is to do a YouTube Channel about building it, what we do everyday. Start promoting it, before it’s even open. That’s another reason he’s hiring me.

I mean this with all sincerity, Jimmy……

Congratulations but don’t fuck up and think that this will solve your mental health issues by itself. Keep fighting to get your deserved benefits and healthcare to help you enjoy this opportunity for the long term, not just until the dopamine wears thin. You deserve to continue to enjoy things like this, but you won’t be able to for very long without true healing for the issues you’ve shared. 

I’m sorry if that sounds like a buzz kill, but I would like to see you posting about how this is still making you happy 10 years from now, and beyond.

I’ve known and worked for Wayne from 2012-2019. He’s promoted me three different times. Always encouraging me to stay the course with the VA. He’s one of those people that can “monitor” me. 
 

What initiated our contact yesterday? I sent him a text, “Hey, I went to the VA and got my crazy meds”. 🤣

Fantastic news. And thankful that you know that I wouldn’t say anything if I didn’t give a shit. 

Remember, you’re worth it. Whatever ‘it’ is……

That's really awesome, dude. After spending nearly a week off vital I sometimes dread what I might read when I catch back up, but this was a good and a smile inducing post. I'm pumped to see you making good moves for yourself.

Nice, man. I rode MTB out there last fall. The Thunder Mountain trail. That's a nice area. Definitely keep up on your youtube channel!
