Go to central Florida. Avoid the tourists areas. Find a place in horse country. Then we can hang out when i get down there!!

:D


Whatever you do avoid Philly... And NYC.

So I have a lot of options for what state to get a job in. I really don't want to live in a state that uses salt or anything on the roads that is corrosive and cause my trucks to rust through. Help me out fellas, need to know what states to avoid.

Just move to Texas and be done with it. You'll probably also want to leave the vast majority of your Colorado clothing behind and opt for something more breezy.
 
I have a shopping cart full of KMG parts...

I'm in southern Colorado. Last summer was pretty mild, hardly broke 100. Year before, I had to retreat to the small bedroom with a 300BTU air conditioner. It's not humid though. East Oregon gets hotter than you'd expect too.

That eliminates any place that has weather such that ice and snow fall in sufficient quantity to cover the roadways for more than a day or so. I think that leaves you with the parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia that are south of IH20, and Florida, Hawaii, California, and western Oregon and Washington. Maybe southern Arizona.

We had a mild one last summer as well. Actually didn't hit 100 at all! Summer before we hit 108. And we have a good deal of humidity in these parts. But otherwise it's lovely. Almost 70 today.

It's been in the 60's for the last couple weeks. Last weekend I was at the shooting range in a t-shirt. In the early mornings it drops down into the teens or low 20's but then jumps up when the sun comes out. We get more snow in April than we do all winter.

hoss, 2 methods - the scientific method and the red-neck method

Scientific method:
Make a list of what you would prefer to have available to you where ever you choose to go.
Separate the list into segments - must haves, really gotta haves, oughta haves, nice to haves, and "take it or leave its".
Assign point values of 5,4,3,2,1 to the segments
Compare each potential job location to the list, compiling a point total as you go.
Then compare the results and see if there is any esoteric "stuff" that mentally spurs you to prefer one of the top point totals.

Red-neck method:
Write down all the locations on slips of paper, throw'em in a hat and then pull one out and go there. :D

It's still Keystone either way... the swill that even Coors won't put its shameful name on. I'm about the furthest thing from a beer-snob, but jiminy crickets... blech. I exude greezy, salty sweat from my ample forehead on a Sunday morning that contains both more flavor and more alcohol than that horrible excuse for an adult beverage. :rolleyes:

Well, isn't that special! There used to be a truly horrible malt-liquor called "Camo" that came in a ... you guessed it... camo can. I took one sip one time and decided I'd rather be sober. :barf:
 
Keystone Light is the official beer of the Nascar Camping World Truck Series. Not Biffles Berry Flower Peppermint Stout. I feel like the least I can do (as an American) is support the Camping World Truck Series.

Now we're talkin'. I can respect that.

OK, maybe not "respect" it, but understand it. Sort of.

If you start now, with a little research and a bit of high-tolerance yeast, by this time next year you'll never have to make such soul-crushing compromises again just to get a cheap buzz on. Just sayin'.
 
To say that "Beer X" tastes like horse piss is an insult to horse piss.

To me at least, horse piss tastes better.

Way, way back in 1975, someone who knew I disliked beer, but would slowly drink some over the evening to be sociable, once provided me with a chilled glass of ice cold horse piss. After the first sip, I made a comment on the order of "this beer is saltier that that other stuff" or words to that effect. After 3 or 4 sips, I said "I guess this is better that that horse piss we had last weekend." He started kinda convulsing and he slid out of his chair and we thought he had had a seizure. Turns out he was trying to hold in his laughing. He survived that day only because I was NOT packing. It would have been easy to claim as a defense "justifiable homicide due temporary insanity". Since that day unless I personally open the can or bottle, I don't drink "beer". No exceptions.

No. You don't. Crime rates are higher than the people and there's just nothing here.

Only two things I need are a gun-friendly atmosphere and my truck not to fall apart in 3 years because of road salt. The specific jobs will be the determining factor.

When NASCAR goes back to racing production vehicles is when I'll start giving a rat's ass about NASCAR.

Somebody offered me one once. I declined.
