DB, There is lot's of stuff in The Oil/Gas Field Jobs that start at 15-20 an hr.

[DBrooke]

Well, now that's a nice start!

[unchained186]

They have alot of manufacturing facilities in East Texas some you could drive to from Shreveport area like Trinity rail car And Lebus the one that makes the Giant cable spools plus Tons of oilfield like what I do and Shawn talked about

[DBrooke]

Beginning the job search here soon. I think going down for the classic will help me (and I guess maybe the wife) get a better idea of where things are. Biggest issue we have now is we find a place that looks good online, but no idea if it's in a safe neighborhood or what not

[JMGullo]

You can text me the address to what your looking at and I can tell you if it's in a good neighborhood

[DBrooke]

Thanks John, will do next time the wife has a question

[-Shawn-]

YOu could always get a Job with Jello and just Float around the ICW and talk to me on the phone..........

The Unlimited plan has gaotten me a few miles. 

[DBrooke]

Hell the most difficult part of the whole move according to my wife will be learning to understand what people are saying!

[-Shawn-]

That isn't bad untill you get south of alexandria......  Then the more they drink the worse it gets!

Lol ain't that the truth

[Lawguy513]

DB, just watch "Swamp People". They have subtitles. If you learn to understand that, you can understand anything. This far north in Shreveport, it is more like east Texas. Plus Fogy and I are bilingual so we can translate from coonass or red neck to Yankee for ya.

Rule #1; stay on the east side of the river! I'd be happy to answer anything y'all have a question on too.

[DBrooke]

Well that don't help much!

[BassBUFF]

Think Bossier Parish, which includes Bossier City, Benton, Haughton.

[DBrooke]

Our biggest thing with housing is avoiding an apt. Between the boat and the dog, we want to keep both with us!

Anyone else shocked by salvania on lake last week?

[JMGullo]

Anyone else shocked by salvania on lake last week?

YES!!!

Anyone else shocked by salvania on lake last week?

Not shocked but disappointed. 

With the lake was drawn down it is hoped that if done slowly the salvania will be left high and dry and with the lack of rain this year it's was believed to be a great way to kill it off.  While it is unknown to me just how much did or didn't die off that was left on the banks and up on the trees and docks what I think did happen is that with all the back waters that were cut off from the main lake they acted like a nursery and it continued to grow.  Once we got some rain to help bring the lake back up it also opened the back waters and allowed this chit to move freely back out to the main water ways.

If we can get some more long term cold, continue the spraying when it's spotted in open waters, continue to adjust the lake up and down to trap and then wash it over the spill way along with the thinning of the cypress trees and dredging the back waters and fixing the Bistineau dam to allow water to flow over the top the lake won't be lost.  But until there is a way to outright kill this stuff or control the growth IMHO this will continue to be an issue here and will affect all our waters to some degree or another.

[BeauxY10]
