Dave I would almost guarantee there is a machine shop near you looking for help. There are some machinist jobs where a lot of experience is not required. Such as a cnc operator. Machinist jobs pay pretty good and I bet it would be a lot easier than your factory job.

Hurry up and get on the gov't gravy train before it derails.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I don’t know him at all. I hate to make generalizations about people because you never really know a person’s situation.

Hopefully he’ll figure it out.

I truly hope he talks better than he writes though.

Coonman, you could work at Wal Mart 10p -7a and make $15.50 an hour stocking shelves. 4a-1p and 1p-10p pay is $14. You'd get an employee discount too. It'd be more profitable than trapping beaver this spring.

yep she has a degree though not in any medical profession but the very much training for EMT and it is updating constantly lots of liability also she works three jobs to make a decent mid income wage. State minimum wage is $5.50 and hour federal is I think $8.00 but not sure something need to change. The only high paying jobs are in the oil fields and those are gone now because of cheap oil. Dont come to Wyoming to make money thats for sure.

Ever think of moving to a place with better paying jobs? Working 3 jobs has to be tough and exhausting.

Dave-As far as food shopping goes, do you have an Aldi's near you? My wife and I do most of our food shipping there and it is unbelievable how much we save in comparison to WalMart of any of the other stores. For a long time we did not buy pork there but have found their pork and chicken prices very low with excellent quality.
Some other groceries are 1/2 or less than what we'd be paying in some of the grocery stores.

2160 Holiday Dr. in Dubuque IA. Moosetrot is right. Example: catsup Aldis $1.15 Heinz $3.50 and I'm picky about catsup, you can't taste the difference. Mayo Aldis $1.89 Hellmans $3.89 no difference other than price. Last week I bought a whole beef tenderloin for 7.99 a pound. The store a half a mile away was asking $12.00 for a 5oz piece. You have to bag your own groceries, big deal.

A penny saved is a penny earned. You can produce and put up your own food much cheaper than you can pay others to do it for you. That in reality is your second job and they haven't figured out a way to tax it yet.

My security company supplied guards for Aldis for many years. I've seen the pallets in the back with the paperwork on them. Almost everything they sell comes from the same major manufacturers who make all the most popular name brands in the US. We stock up at Aldis about once a month.

Dave, I told ya months ago to move to Ohio. Forget about trapping. Company I work for can't hire enough. Start out between 70,000 to 80,000 a year. Didnt listen then and ya wont now. If ya dont want to work, stop whining.

Chunk up and put some of those beaver in the freezer. They're good eating and plenty of simple recipes out there. 5 beaver is a good bit of meat. I was quoted $75 a # for castor today no grading. Did you get that shotgun? Put some bunnies in the freezer. Farm Markets have some good deals, put some food up when it's plentiful and cheap.
