Non-Typical Solutions

Nothing I hate worse than someone thinking my project isn't as important as some high$ person but you are probably PDA!

Custom work no matter the trade requires time and customer service! As soon as it gets subbed out it takes a step back from "custom" work. Some specialty areas are more easily subbed out with no regrets while others are hard to match. When I was running my own custom cabinet shop it was a very unpredictable circus act taking deposits for jobs and making sure I had the time to meet customer satisfaction. You don't always get it right but you know after a couple of blunders how to manage/schedule jobs. When I went from full time cabinets to teaching and part time cabinets it was interesting how the jobs fell. I out front told people that I would not take on a full size kitchen during school months because the job plus coaching there was no way I was going to keep people happy. Through covid I had a customer that wanted another kitchen from me, I had previously built three for this lady. I told her I could start May 1st 2020.........................she had doors for her remodel job on her house that didn't come in until August 10.......she put them in storage and she waited until May 2021 for me to work on her kitchen and house! I realize this is a person that had the time to wait......the point is when you make customers happy.......they will come back!!!! Good luck in trying to balance out real job and taxidermy! My wife is the only person I ever had work for me on cabinets and I knew her work was always going to be quality!!!

Interesting interview! I guess one thing that doesn’t really get talked about is that electric vehicles don’t transition onto no mining! If they want to donate one for me to Guinea pig drive I would gladly do that!

Anybody got a map of exactly where this fire cut through? Prayers for those in its path and NateNAU be safe! 1000 yards ain't much in fire/wind conditions!!!

Just barely catching up on this thread but where did the original OP go? Definitely sounding like Naturegirl 2.0.......should I go hunt the same unit/time my ex is hunting ..... crazy stuff folks!!!

But they'll wait until after memorial day weekend.................

Crews fight New Mexico fires as some evacuations lift April 16, 2022 1 of 11 A tree ignites as the McBride Fire spills down a mountainside near Ruidoso, New Mexico, on Wednesday April 13, 2022. Authorities say firefighters have kept a wind-driven blaze from pushing further into a mountain community in the southern part of the state. (Justin Garcia /The Las Cruces Sun News via AP) RUIDOSO, N.M. (AP) — Authorities have lifted some evacuation orders for a mountain community in drought-stricken southern New Mexico as firefighters worked Saturday to contain a wind-driven blaze that killed two people and destroyed over 200 homes. The evacuation orders lifted late Friday covered about 60% of the estimated 4,500 people ordered to leave their homes since the fire started Tuesday, Village of Ruidoso spokesperson Kerry Gladden told The Associated Press on Saturday. Evacuation estimates were previously reported to be around 5,000 people. “The big story is we’re in a re-population mode,” Gladden said earlier during a media briefing. Those evacuation orders remaining in effect may be lifted in coming days, officials said. Those waiting to return included Barbara Arthur, the owner of a wooded 28-site RV park that had wind damage but didn’t burn.

Thanks

I actually enjoyed the re read lots of members missing from back then, some by choice some because they are just gone!

Good recommendations and info forepaw! Interestingly enough the farming community in my day provided lots of on site training and while maybe not certifiable without some real instruction it was a lot of fun as a kid and something that has provided me with work opportunities through the years. Having said that, here in the White Mountains we have the NAVIT program for the programs listed below. We have a lot of students that finish high school with a certification that then springboards them on to other avenues. I am not exactly sure what certification the can get but it is a very good path for our high school kids. I know this is late for catfish and his kid but for others it is a great option to get the wheels rolling!!!

Here.....I know how to get threads sent to the dungeon.......

The wording on this caught me off guard!😳

Fits the norm these days......

Here is a recent letter to the editor for our White Mountain Independent paper! The WMI has been very pro wild horse and very little lets take care of the real problem! Noteworthy in this letter is where the author resides! Many of the pro wild horse letters just like the pro wolf letters are from California or New Hampshire😳

I was gonna say the California effect is definitely into play here and it is gonna continue to grow!!!

I came across this and thought it did a decent job of wading through wild horse problems! Wild Horses The bullies of the range By John Koleszar May 24, 2019 In Arizona, a small parcel of land in the Heber area was designated a wild horse territory in 1974 as prescribed in the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. At the time of designation, there were seven horses present and the area was designated as being roughly 19,000 acres. During the 1980s and early 1990s, the horses in this area died out. By 1995, the Forest Service could not find a single horse living in the wild horse territory. In 2002, the Rodeo-Chedeski fire destroyed over 500,000 acres of forests in areas surrounding Heber. With fences down, tribal horses streamed onto forest lands. By 2005, there were over 250 horses when the Forest Service announced intentions of rounding up these trespass horses. Lawsuits by horse advocates followed. The federal court issued its ruling in 2007 and directed the Forest Service to develop a management plan for the horses. Conservationists across Arizona have seen the dramatic changes in the forest areas of Heber and the horse numbers are estimated at between 500 and 1,000 head. If there is a culprit in this, it sits in the total lack of accountability with all of the forest supervisors and staff that have allowed the situation to fester over the past decade. A reasonable number of horses and a plan needed to be developed. The Apache Sitgreaves National Forests has created a climate of hostility and resentment, as well as an entitlement attitude by the horse advocates. The 19,000 acres that were designated as the horse territory has been expanded. The total land that feral horses now inhabit is over 400,000 acres. The “wild” horses are no longer wild, they graze with impunity at campsites. They are often referred to as the “bullies” of the range as they hoard water holes and drinkers to the exclusion of other wildlife. It is simply unacceptable that feral horses are managed differently than resident wildlife, lawful grazing, and at levels that clearly cannot be considered to exist within a “thriving ecological balance” as prescribed by law. This summer, public comments should occur (if the Forest Service can find the time) and that a plan will be put together. The wild horse advocates will scream in protest and file lawsuits so that the plan is on hold indefinitely. Sadly, these advocates do not care at all about any other wildlife. Last, but not least, illegal activity by frustrated people who do not share the passion that horse advocates do is reprehensible. Frustration at the inept forest management is the cause. The Apache Sitgreaves National Forest employees allowed this mess to fester for over 10 years with no action. The forest in another four years will be decidedly worse off and the number of horses will double by that time. Shame on the horse advocates for not being reasonable. They want the whole forest and the way things are going they will soon have it. I pity all of the other wildlife that is being forced out by the bullies of the range.
