hey, hey, watch it there pal.....class of 1984...BIG ORANGE all the way :biggrin5: And Payton Manning hails from there so it can be bad.....
Rant accepted! It is 100% spot on... Go camping way up in the CO sticks... You can spot the natives, and its easy. The people who where born and raised here are, the people either in tents or small campers in nice clean campsites free of trash, not trying to disturb anybody. When they pack it up and leave, nothing but maybe a few wood chips is left behind, the ground is un disturbed, and all the trash even if it wasn't theirs is gone. The liberal transplants are the ones who are camped with the GIANT RV or trailer, tarps hanging from the trees, trash thrown EVERYWHERE, and an ATV spinning doughnuts in a mud hole because its in the middle of the woods and nobody cares... They are also the ones ripping down fire roads and trails as fast as they can at all hours of the day and night as fast as they possibly can. When they pack up and leave, the trash stays, sometimes the tarps stay, the fire pit is left burning or smoldering, and the ground drainage is ruined from the bruised fruit on the ATV. Sure there are a few bad or good apples either way, but most of the time that is how it is. And yes in the cities, there are a ton of able bodied beggars on every corner wanting the money you worked for and they could have earned. Its sickening... Really!
I'm sorry Z06_Pilot we all have our faults , I guess yours is UT. :biggrin5: I'm true Blue! Memphis state! oh sorry showing my age, I mean University of Memphis. :lol::lol::lol:
You MIGHT have your car up and running in 2 years. If so, drive to any place with a "help wanted" sign, when they see your car, they'll feel so sorry for you they'll hire you on the spot.
Ha ha... Or maybe it will be because of actual talent... And yes it will be running later this year. Oh and Dave, if I where a cop... I would probably be messing around like this guy all day! https://www.facebook.com/tony.sterner.3/posts/830722190273923
Chattanooga and NW Georgia are also within easy reach of the Dragon. There's Amazon and Volkswagen in Chattanooga and there's some construction activity also. In NW Georgia, there's a fair bit of industrial construction going on. Residential is not doing a lot around here. BTW, the vast majority of us are very friendly to the 2nd Amendment.
Don't leave us here!!!!! That goes for me too! I was so excited to think we might have a legitimate DENVER CONVOY from now on to MOTD! What an EPIC time that was!!! But I don't blame you AT ALL! Yuk! I'm grossed out constantly...whoops, a rant. Oh! I looked at cabins around Fontana to buy. Perhaps we can be neighbors in a couple of years. I Love the southern charm and the beauty of the area.........the roads are wicked and I'd love to have the Dragon as my back yard!!! (still working on my husband to invest in a cabin out there.) But until then, when you settle, can we bunk with you around MOTD time?:biggrin5::biggrin5::biggrin5::biggrin5:
Well I am sticking around the house this weekend, (the Jeep needs its annual detail job) if you guys want to come by...
Charlotte is a great town, if you want a more urban area as your launching point to the mountains or the ocean. We spent some time there earlier this year, checking it out a a place for our college student to land after graduation. The MINI community is pretty strong too.
Blech. Might be OK to spend some time in (I do almost every week), but I would NEVER want to live there. Asheville, however... is awesome. But NC has personal income tax, unlike TN.
I have lived in....er...8 states I think.... You will find that pay $$ is almost always linked to cost of living..... So a house or apartment might cost less in one area, but the average pay will be lower too.... As I pilot, this CAN be great since many of us commute, or get paid the same $$ for the job in any location...or terrible....high cost of living living locations are very junior places....places like NY, LA (usually all of California) Boston, etc you make barely enough to get a "crash pad" with a friend, but folks that live in the south/Midwest can own full houses for similar $$. I suggest you base you move based upon other factors....companies pay what they NEED TO to get qualified folks....and in some areas, it can be amazingly little if the area is nice....remember...the dragon usually has a food bank charity that it helps....hint..hint... If rents are 50% less....bet you pay in a given job will be 25-30% less.......
Since you know how to weld. Check out some of the big sign companies in the areas. They have to have alum and steel welders.. Vinyl guys as well. The bigger companies should be starting you at around your needs plus might get some OT as well... Heck you know how to paint they need that as well..
Yep, I have looked into a lot of that down there... Come next year the money part might not be so much of a problem.
I dont follow any kind of "sport"... Much more to do in life than watch a bunch of over payed millionaires play with their balls.
Dick, I've used Indeed.com to find jobs. Type in the town, city or state and a couple of key words like welder or construction and you'll get some returns... Best of luck! Bill
