Well was getting worried, I put in primary on 12\19 and since then I checked it a few times and I saw no activity whatsoever, OG was 1042 just checked it this morning and is 1030, my guessing is it is ferminting due to the drop, will check over next couple days to see if it is still dropping before going to secondary.
 
That's still really early.. I would leave it in there for at least a week then check it. I typically leave my beers in primary for more than that anyhow. There are a lot of variables that can affect fermentation (just do a quick search on here and you'll find tons of threads on it).
 
Sounds like a plan just got worried due to seeing no activity, I have read some threads on here, that's why I checked to see if I had a change.
 
Leave it until the gravity has been stable for 3 days. The worst thing you can do with a slow ferment is rack it too soon.
