I sought out a full time CAUT position getting really tired of long drives and ferry-boat commuting from the island I lived on. Increase car expenses by double for me! Made for super long days...Now, I'm 4 miles from UNL and my customers are too, save a church 90 miles away with a 9'2" Bluthner brand new.
