Excited. To be getting a new bed. Sure it isn't for another two weeks but I look forward to it.

I did not know that you had moved to Oregon. I am still floating around here in Indiana.

Yeah, I got sick of all the BS in the Kalifornia People's Republic

Quote
I have spent much of the summer teaching my (now sixteen year old) son how to shoot both handguns and rifles. He is not worth crap at shooting a handgun, but not so bad with my 10.22 Ruger, Mini 14 Ruger or my .270 Win Remington 700 bolt action. He shot my 1100 Remington 12 Ga once and said, "Nope Nope. Nope!" A bit too much for him, I suppose. When I was six after spending all day shooting a single shot .410 my grandfather put a double barrel 12 Ga on my shoulder and told me that it was about the same but a little stronger. I landed on my ass and everyone had a big laugh.
I am not doing that to him. We are going at his speed.

Awesome! this country needs more responsible and well trained gun owners. Kalifornia is trying to put an end to gun ownership, but up here in Oregon, they still appreciate the 2nd amendement.

From what everyone tells me, the hunting up here is awesome. I can't legally hunt until next season because you have to be a resident for at least 6 months. The fishing is 1st rate too.

Hey, good luck with the interviews!! 

.. or break a leg if such applies.

Thanks DD. I already interviewed with them and things were very encouraging. They said I'd get final word by either end of this week or beginning of next week.

Hi Pappy, I think it is really cool that you are getting a job in a field you are interested in. Or obsessed with? ;)

Thanks Ren.   :thumbup:

I finally got an interview with Epic Aircraft.

I tried to apply online and the response was crickets, that's not something I'm used to.

I kept an eye on their site and noticed that they were hosting a "career day" where you could show up with a resume and talk to some of the hiring managers.

When I sat down and talked face to face with these people, I got the usual expected response, they damn near did backflips in their seats and were noticeably excited to have me in front of them.

Several departments wanted me to work for them but it looks like I'm going to end up starting out in quality control doing various inspections on parts, sub-assemblies and the fuselage.

I just hope I make it past any drug screens they may have since recreational pot is legal here in Oregon.  :stoned:

 8)      8)      8)
Welcome back, and good luck.

When will you hear more, Scrap?

End of this week or beginning of next. I interviewed on Friday and they spent well over an hour with me which is a good sign I take it??   ;)

An interview that long does look like a good sign indeed.

Got some necessary things taken care of. Less to stress over now.

Spent an hour at Foyle's, browsing books.

Your new job comes with great side effects.

It does indeed. Some people see the sights, I visit the bookstores.

The bookstores are the  main sights.

/adding another truth, me.

LP or vinyl stores the world over would be a quest worth the time.

I will not say, "Trust me,"  but you really should.

I have found so much desirable vinyl over these past years, I am almost beside myself.

I feel troubled about posting this in this particular thread, but many will see this as a positive influence of the current market.


I am intrigued (maybe not - possibly devastatingly depressed - BUT, I see a trend from which we not be able to recover) by the fact that streaming music has risen so much in such a short time.

Notice how physical media sales are quickly vanishing from the market numbers. While some of us have noticed the trend in recent years, these numbers are quite depressing to me.
I have to assume that the eventuality exists that streaming media will soon replace physical media as a main source for most peoples' music and video needs.
