Most likely I'd be working a shift at the location and have a terminal at home for trouble shooting during off hours. Each interaction after hours would generate a set amount of overtime unless it takes more than that amount of time to fix. If it takes longer than that, people will be on airplanes flying in to "help". There would be 4 people working the same job so we have 24/360 coverage, but they would end up calling me on anything big that the small stuff. At the moment, there are two of us that do my job within 480 miles. I was handed an asset 3 days ago. Something I'd never seen or worked with before. The job was to figure out how it worked, redesign it for a different application, and send the specs of to the manufacturer so they could make them for us. I'd miss that kind of stuff. The job title and pay scale are the same, but it's not the same job. It may be fantastic. It's just the unknown and being lock into a position.

Close. It's an upgrade to a semi automated system that requires less human interaction. It does require one specific job that I'm qualified for. If there is an incident, it will get the same news coverage as an airplane crash. We also have a habit of fast cars, fast bikes, and loose woman. Depending on the job you're in, you could be living in two different places a few hundred miles away from each other. Guys do crazy things. My drugs of choice are guns and fast cars.

This is all within the same company. The retirement is fantastic and worth more than the pay. Even after my death, my Wife will be well taken care of. Nongovernmental job, so no tax dollars.

I should start an odd S$%t that I've seen thread. LOL

Well, I have no way around the stress. We average 3 years after retirement. One of the highest divorce rates in the country. Very high alcoholism rates. I've watched multiple guys self destruct at work and can't come back. They do throw money at you. It's not for everyone. I really should write a book, but no one would believe it.

Would you allow yourself to be placed in a position where you were always inside alone connected to the world by computers and a big radio? The potential to make more money is there, but requires some union involvement. Something I always avoid because the union I'm required to belong to sucks. It also means I can work from home some because geographical location is irrelevant. (This could be axed at any moment) I could live in New Zealand as long as I have internet. I'm indifferent to this position. Option two is to do what I'm doing and support the other position when I'm needed to help the people doing that job. I will make more money doing that, but not as much. I will however get out and about and do something different every day. I may have to force the issue to get this done, but I like it better. The difference in pay could be between 5k and 15k between the two. I'm in a position of knowing how to do something very few people know how to do and I've been given a long leash because of it. It's kinda come back to bite me.

My sabotless smokeless muzzleloader laughs and cries about this.

Something like this.

Well, I need a hog sized target moving at hog speed while shooting a 308. I'm thinking zip line with the target at 10° down angle. Problem is spalling hitting the zip line and calibrating the zip line angle for the proper speed that is somewhat steady. I'm thinking a raised edge on front, top, and rear sides. I'd need a quick release that can be activated by the shooter 100 yards away.

I run ar500 to sight in my thermal. It's fantastic. I just need a moving target now.

I don't agree with "hate crime " bs, but people murder for all kinds of reasons. People murder their loved ones and believe they love them the whole time. Moms do the murder/suicide thing because they want to be with their children in the after life. Serial killers usually have a trigger that makes them want a victim. They don't necessarily hate them. At most they are indifferent to them, or believe they have a connection with the victim. Sometimes they just hate people. They are all varying degrees of crazy.

I run VVN320. 3.7 gr

That's fully loaded. About 3k set up like a 650.

Between Butte and Bozeman. The property has a river it's entire lingth on one side. We still have to get the plot number so we can get the exact border.

Looks like outfitters operate in the area we'll be in. It also appears that we can get a late season combo hunt. They do have grizzlies. We're probably going to fly out a few months early and check out everything.

Guys, go get it. I hate knowing y'all need powder and can't get it.

A dealer buddy of mine. Unfortunately he has just as hard a time getting stuff as we do.

Some primers are about to hit. Hopefully normal shooters get them instead of gunbroker.

Out out nearly 30 nurses that that gave the shots with my wife, only 2 or 3 took the shot themselves. Not telling anyone what to do, just saying what happened.

My wife's teem just finished up giving 700 shots.

Antique CCI 200. Could not refuse the price though.

Getting ready to head out to Texas again.
