No shortage of employment in Alaska, if you can stand the climate.

Hey all!

I know that I have not been around in awhile, but I was thinking of re-installing. How has everyone been?

Perhaps-See ya online!

Happy 4th all.

Weird thing happened at work.

I work for the Federal Government in a position that is shift security work.

So for the holiday, they moved the observed holiday to the 3rd. So those of us that work different shifts, could take the 3rd off, but not the 4th, unless you already had the 3rd off as a RDO. Of course all of this is contingent on having enough people, for my line of work but it seems like OPM changed the old rules just to mess with people.

So as a result, we did not have enough people on the holiday (the 3rd) so I couldn't spend time with my family, we had plenty of people on the 4th, but it was not the holiday so........

Got to love the Federal Government

Grats Monkey.

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I finished this one, twice, once at the extreme of each alignment.

Tips:

#1 tip is: your primary lightning attack does not take any of your energy, it fires as fast as you can hit the button, so, Find the proper vertical and horizontal space and then strafe, popping off as many blasts as you can. Your enemy's will stop firing for a few seconds after you tap them with a blast so you can go to the next one, using this technique, you can set up groups to blast all at once with a bigger attack or rule hoards of enemy's by managing your incoming fire.

#2 tip is: Don't worry about the good or evil exclusive power you can unlock by doing quests. Neither one of the powers are awesome at any level of their power.

#3 tip is: take your time and enjoy the game. It is a big game with a lot of side quests, you can gain a lot of skill by going through the challenges, but as you do so don't forget to take a few minutes and look around at the amazing detail and work that was put into it.

#4 tip is: Do not hoard your energy unless you are in a powerless district. Energy is everywhere, use it, replenish, use it

Where I live in Ak. is not that cold.

All over in AK. in summer we have some of the best most wonderful whether, nice and temperate, not too warm you know mid 70s.

I don't ride in winter

Have you considered a temporary re-location?

I wish you luck but the fact is, luck is where perseverance and opportunity collide.

You need some professional help.

No, I did not mean you, I meant the university.

You need to convince who ever has the authority to call in an accredited water damage restoration company, probably a large one from out of town (all the ones in town have contracts and will be busy).

There are one or 2 big companies that specialize in data and computers but honestly its very time intensive work.

I worked in the industry (water/fire damage restoration) for about 7 or 8 years. Get some professional help and things will go much faster.

oh, I did not say before, but your situation sucks, I have been there, kind of, twice.

I got into the restoration biz because I was interested the second time we lost our home, the first was when I was 16, heating tape started a fire when no one was home, in the winter. We lived far enough out that the fire trucks arrived about the time that the coals were about right for BBQ.

Second time was water, they were doing sewage maintenance and managed to fill our home, the house was not a total loss, but we did not live in it for 4 months.

Best lesson of my life: Insurance is expensive when you don't need it, and very cheap when you should have bought it.

Congrats man

I have custodianship of a 2008 XLN, Just sold the 1979 XLCH.

I think spike said it but another very applicable saying is:

To thine own self be true

Dance what you feel, not what you want others to see!

They wont ship to Alaska!,
