Well, it will be a life change for you and yours =] Very exciting! You mentioned a state you were considering moving to previously, I forget which one now... Regardless, it will be a magnificent change! It kind of makes me want to find something more interesting to do, just to have the opportunity to go somewhere else for a higher salary :p Problem is, I don't mind spending 2 years learning something new, but I am not really interested in moving around or getting involved in the rat race :/ If anything, I'd be more apt to go to a smaller community... that is a consideration if we ever get back on our feet as a country. One of my co-workers said he was privy to some forecast project and apparently it took 7 years for the USA to recuperate from the 1929 recession and they project that it'll take 12-14 years for us... I think they said ours started at 2008. I think by that time we'll have a huge number of college graduates that can't find a job in their chosen field and then instead of saying a Bachelor's degree is the new diploma, they'll be saying that a Graduate degree with be the new diploma LOL

5- At least in several tech fields I have years of experience working with cutting edge gear, and all of the technical security that is required. We are looking at several areas, 95% of them are rather small areas, tired of the rat race, and TBH not really wanting all that many neighbors. It would be wonderful to be able to shoot and fly models from my back porch to be honest, and have to either ride a bike or drive to the neighbors house.
Alaska would be wonderful if it was not so darn cold there..

I hear you, Sky... plus soooooooooooooooooooooooooo EXPENSIVE! Crazy expansive! Still, there are many places that you can get a good sized plot of land if you live outside of the city proper... you still have unlimited possibilities that will only be hindered by your job locations =]

LOL No, just tomatoes. I guess that was kind of confusing. There are tomato worms and there are tobacco worms, they look almost the same, and they both will eat either tobacco or tomatoes. They are actually the larval stage of the hawkmoth. There's a slight difference in appearance, but that's not important, as they both are horribly destructive.

Check this bugger out (I think it spent too much time hanging out in The Haight):

I haven't heard anything yet, Destiny... He should have had the surgery and be in recovery now. He expected a quick bounce back of 1-3 days if it was not a major ordeal... problem is, the older you get, ANY surgery is an ordeal :/ We just wait for him =] He'll be here when he gets here and we'll have a welcome back party then LOL =]

3) Oh yes, so important for him to take the time he should and needs. I am proud of him for closing the store till after recovery from surgery. Better for him to do that instead of doing more than he should and making things worse. So, yes he will be back.........when he gets back! lol And yes, Welcome back party!! Count me in!! :)

Agreed... starting back too soon after a surgery is a major mistake... the good news is Mrs. Ray will make sure that won't happen, eh? It would just be more work for her in the long run if he doesn't heal properly :p

I have tanks to order, so I am just going to say,

"DO NOT BUILD - SEND ME THE PARTS! I will do my own carto punching since I like multiple holes and I can build my own tanks." =]

As long as he is organized, anyone can fill my order :p I should get a new punch as well... So many have been talking about this one or that one, but I really like the one Ray has and I have never had a problem punching by hand. I dunno, I need to check his site... I wanted larger polypro tanks with the screw hole... I need to see what else I need.
