Jack,
       10 years ago, I woke up one morning, walked out the door in 10 below 0 weathah, slipped, fell on my ass, banged my head on the ice I slipped on and swore that was it. Moved to San Diego less than a year later. Do I miss Maine. Sure for the two months a year when it's warm and the mosquitos aren't so thick they carry off dogs, cats and small children. Two months out of twelve just ain't enough. You're an electrician ? They build about 1,000 houses a week out here, every 6 months there's a new neigborhood and they have to build schools, stores, shops etc to support it. I'd say being an electrician in Southern California's gotta be as sure a bet as there is when it comes to finding work.

You could say about the same thing for many parts of Florida, as well.  Tomorrow it's going to be 67 and sunny where I am.  Florida's not nirvana, but one winter (if you can really call it that) down here will make you understand why so many folks move here.  I think as an electrician you'd have your pick of jobs/contracts.


Hey BB, the wife and I went to Bah Hahbah in mid-May one year.  We thought springtime in New England, and all that.  She took a sweater and I took a cotton windbreaker.  We went for a hike on Cadillac Mountain (open, bare rock face) and it started sleeting with freezing rain.  Got down to just above freezing and then the fog rolled in.  Our day hike turned into something like a military survival exercise--couldn't find the trail in the fog and getting colder and wetter and the rocks getting slicker by the minute.

Now we laugh about it and call that day the "Bar Harbor Death March".  The good thing about it was how good the fireplace felt that night and the beer and lobster at the local restaurant was excellent.

That wasn't the only time I've visited Maine but it was the coldest.

[Jacktrician69]

Thanks for your warm thoughts guys      My parents live in Maine, so I know I don't have it half as bad as they do up there !!  You are correct, I am an Electrician, and I'm sure I could find work just about anywhere, but it's nice to know where the construction is booming    who knows......maybe I'll slip and fall, then come to my sences too     god knows there's enough ice out there today to do just that      I'm thinking about warm thoughts at "Weirs Beach" !!!     SHWIIIIINNGGGG !

And you yanks make fun of the way us Southerners talk?   

[rbmntx]

You tell 'em TC.  Down here in the south, we put on this act of being uncultured hicks with no ed-ju-mah-kation just to keep the riff raff out.  It's not working all that well though..., we seem to be overrun with northerners and south of the border southerners here in Texas.

Just in case any of you southern fried bikers didn't bother to attend history class in high school, the Pilgrims landed in Massachusets, NOT Texas or any other points south. Other than the Native Americans, I guess that makes us Yankees, First Americans

One thing that always amused me about that first landing on Cape Cod.  21 Nov 1620, Standish comes ashore.  They find some corn stored by the locals.  Steal it.  Decide they don't like the place for lack of fresh water.  And leave  .
