Not all is, as it looks. I have found that to be the case much more lately than what I’d treasure to see. It’s like when I got conned into going to Pocatello over a bullshit sales job for a TV station there. Look at the success, or lack of it since that same enterprise has not gained. But I bit. However I have not always been that way. In fact looking back, long before the angel that turned out to be a crack whore, that lured me to seek, new horizons , I looked over Idaho quite extensively before moving. Did not like what I saw, and if I had dug a bit more below the skin as well as surface, I’d still be in metro Utah. Not saying , Utah is all that great. Utah does have its problems, but there is a bit more gold on that valley floor than was or is in these mountains that I once was proud to call home. Okay so it’s a new day, and I’m looking at getting out of going towing. No , not selling DixieBelle, or LiL Dixie, but restoring and storing the rigs of once was a career path, but devoting more of my time to split between specialty aviation as well as aviation media. It’s not going out in the cold to go tow, for so little dough, but the scenery is changing. While not law yet, talk in the valley, is ISP along with other law enforcement agencies are looking at requiring at least 3 trucks to be owned by a company to get on rotation call out lists. At a mere 20 calls a month its pretty tough to justify buying more trucks, even used, especially in this economy. Even at that 20 calls a month, at my call out rate of $60.00 a pop, that equals only $1200.00 a month. In the same lane I can make that in only one hour flying. If I turn wrenches on trucks and even hot rods, I might make $50,000.00 a year. On the same floor, If I go to rebuilding as I started in 2002, vintage military warbird aircraft, I can make $3, to $5, million per aircraft. Even an idiot can figure out which makes the best ROI. Yes I am Lost in a Space. As I am trying to decide, would moving back to a more aviation friendly area like Utah? Move to Arkansas to be with a gal who is right now in the feel it stage to see if the long distance relationship, is all it looks to be, or do I keep battling forces beyond my control, like the buttwipes in MHI? Nothing for sure right now, as I have some other responsibilities, to do. But these are what are making me wonder , as I am Lost in a Space.
