It would mean another move and not so much driving to onsite locations. But a lower cost of living and a pay raise so it's worth trying for.

[The Fool]

with the cost of gas now fewer miles might not be such a bad thing. lower cost of living and more money would be nice too. the move sucks though

where would you be moving to?

[Axantha]

I'd be moving to Cheyenne, Wyoming.

it's got the state university and a good sized Air Force base there so it's a good medium-sized city. Also it's only a couple hours away from Denver.

It also has the biggest rodeo of the year. Frontier Days is where the Pro rodeo circuit started.

Yippe Ki-yah mother F......!! LOL

[The Fool]

i used to brake horses. uncle bought unbroken horses and trained them. good money in getting the shit beat out of you.

[Axantha]

I've tried it once. I lasted 7 seconds.

the bull I rode about 4

[The Fool]

i rode a bull. it was fun. he was named bill. a 4-h calf, all you had to do was climb on and tap him with your fishing rod and he'd take you to the pond. thats how i went fishing when i was 4. only time you had to watch him was in the spring and if you had a bucket. he always wanted what was in the bucket.

[Axantha]

was he raised as a bucket calf?

[The Fool]

don't know, it's what we always carried kitchen scraps in. cucumber peels, orange peels, pea hulls, ect. he thought it was something for him and he wasn't afraid to stick his head into the bucket with you carrying it to get at it.

[Axantha]

he sounds spoiled.

We used to have a calf that would jump the fence and run to meet the bus at the end of the school day. We could climb up on his back and ride him home.

[The Fool]

bill wasn't a calf when i was riding him and he was sticking his head in the bucket. he was a 2500 lb. herfered bull. think of a really really big dog that would tear down a 5 rail crosstie and 4x6 fence every spring to fight his neighbor and take his wives. not that he didn't have about 20 of his own.

[Axantha]

That sounds like a bigger version of Red. He was over 1,000 lbs when we sold him. You could get 4 kids on his back at one time.

[The Fool]

yeah he was pretty big. never really tried to get more than 2 people on him though.

[Axantha]

I guess it's a redneck thing

[The Fool]

nah. you don't get much more redneck than south alabam. we just never had enough kids brave enough to try it.

[Axantha]

Here in Wyoming, it's what they do for fun

[Tozzy]

I'm sometimes surprised at what people think is fun.

[Axantha]

Why?

[The Fool]

we usually get a couple cases of beer, a 4-wheel drive, a spot light, and a high powered rifle. fun for hours. as long as the game warden doesn't show up. free meat too.

[Axantha]

depending on what you're hunting, you don't need to worry about the warden. Some nusiance animals are never out of season.

here in Wyoming, they have declared wolves to be that way so if they aren't inside Yellowstone, you can shoot them for any reason.

Of course, they were just de-listed from the endangered species list so it's got the greenies up in arms.
