They are going to need more than a booster seat to sit in the big boys chair since I set the bar so high. Need one year experience at minimum, for what they list that would take "decades" to learn and have experience. Oh well now I can go home finally and work on the homestead again. They don't like my rates that increased up $4 an hour, yep an extra $160 a week broke them, shallow :lol:

Yeah, good luck to them... You need a break.... don't know how much you need the income.... let them see what they can come up with... it will be interesting...
I'm technically retired and ever penny this business has ever made has went back into the business to pay for itself. My pension can support any bills the business may have till something comes around.

Will say that, now I will be home more, weather is warming up and drying out the neighbors will be doing more of what they do best. So they do have my full attention, now they are going to have more of my time and more of my time is not a good thing for them.
Ducks and geese now run when they see us as I seen today, wife has been seeing it, telling me about and thought it was just cold outside as she helps feed them in the morning while I feed the pigs. Nope went for a walk right past them this afternoon in mid 50's and soon as they seen us they all ran inside. Been warm for a week or more and not one egg.

Why are they running now? Has someone been harassing them?

Does that place have a competitor that you could go to work for?
I just need to outfit my truck for either welding rig or mobile mechanic rig and stop parking myself in a shop as I will never get the rates a diesel mechanic/welder deserves. Only other option to park in a shop is if I owned my own. Just will end up right back where I am if I did.

Yeah quite a bit with a drone. Now it's not snowing and such all cameras are back online.

Ummmm - a shop of your own - what about that tear-down house you have in town?? LOL not using the house but putting something on that spot? Of course if it's not zoned for only residential that is.

Plenty of times, have to catch the operator at the same time is the dilemma according the FAA. Which is why I am going for my own drone and got my license to legally fly mine. Catch a video of the act and chase the drone with a drone to the operator. When the feds get involved, and this becomes a federal matter,they aren't going to just drop charges or not doing anything unlike the county.

Residential only and one needs a engineer/surveyor before anything can be built there again based on FEMA came in a decade ago and declared it all floodplain. They have to survey the property height based on elevation, engineer a structure that doesn't impede "water flow" and if one builds a garage there it has to be designed to let the water flow through the structure, can't build higher to not be flooded. Yeah most of the city is dying cause it is in this 500 or 100 year flood plain BS, if you buy a house you can only spend up to half of what you paid for the house to repair it for the life of the house and list goes on.
