Texas is big and distances can be deceiving. Remember when my old boss had the bright idea to bid work all over Texas so we could keep busy in the winter. He just couldn't seem to understand why it took me all day to get from the Amarillo job to the Port Lavaca job, "Hell Jim, they're only a few inches apart on the map" he says..............

I forgot and didn't reread that he was from AK. In that case, it's about as long as a caribou herd on migration.

Reminds me of a dirty joke. Is that why some people don't make good engineers?

I can't fix STUPID but I can fix what STUPID does. It says so on the mug that sits on my desk and on the tee shirt I occasionally wear.

Now that you mention it, that area of Texas in and around Port Lavaca is where I would be hog hunting at night using the night vision. That is the type of terrain, I should say. For whatever reason I just thought about putting this in here ...

mrmackc Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 I have driven all over Texas and the US and Canada I just leave early and drive fast! The worst thing about driving in Alaska is just getting there!......go as far as the road goes, then rent a small airplane with big tires, and floats or skis depending what part of the year you. One of my company friends ask me where I got my float plane license, and looked kind of funny when I told him in Louisiana.
planeflyer21 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 /\/\/\/\ I recently discovered there's an outfit where I can get mine in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
shepp Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 I can understand Louisiana, now Arizona seems a bit odd lol. Saw a float plane the other day, it was headed south with with the ducks and geese

No way would I live there. You can have that liberal schithole. It's funny you should say that. I got thrown a very similar offer Wednesday. Old company I was at opened an office in Denver a few years ago. Saw the engineer running it and he needs someone to come out and head up a survey department. We didn't talk numbers and it was in no way a formal offer, but it makes us think. My wife still works for that company at the main headquarters here in SAn Diego and he would take her too for Accounting. Why Colorado? Damnit.

Lived there for a decade, and there are areas where you can get away from the liberals and have some open space. If you don't mind snow during the winter and enjoy the outdoors, it can be a great place to live.

DNP Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 I don't think we're headed that way. Still trying to get an official offer going on a chunk of land in the maintains here. I'll share more on that if we wind up in escrow.

Idaho is bigger than Texas but you have to pound it out flat first, Texas is already flat....... just saying..... and CO. every scum libtard is moving there to smoke pot and get on welfare... no thanks!
DNP Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 Yep, didn't have an awesome job offer in Idaho. Though I'd take one...I'm not leaving California for something almost as bad.
