Greetings from the PNW

My father has recently lived in Anacortes, Whidbey Island, and is now down by Oysterville...

Check on water rights when you settle into Colorado- many lots smaller than 35 acres will have a highly restrictive well permit- called a "household permit" that will not allow watering a lawn or livestock

over 35 acres generally gets a "domestic well permit", with much less restrictions (I live on just under 47 acres)

There are some grandfathered exceptions, but water rights can be an issue in rural Colorado...

Thanks for this important piece of info. Will definitely look into the regs before biting...

Thanks again.

Welcome to the site. Take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable.

Not sure how many jobs are available for a network security admin along the Western Slope (WS) - Denver and Colo Spr have a lot of these positions (although I don't think too many are available these days). Perhaps Grand Junction would have more than other WS areas.

Thanks for having me.

I am pretty much done with "IT" work. After 15yrs of doing it, it's time to go back to blue collar for me. I am done chasing the money (the more I made, the worse I felt...). It took me a long time to figure out I wear my heart on my sleeve and not on my wallet.

I am working finishing up my Degree in Process Technology (Plant Operator/Alternative Energy/Power Generation/WasteWater). Looking forward to getting back to getting my hands dirty ; )

Thanks again for the warm welcome!

I lived out there for a while loved the land hated the cost of living. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome and good luck on the pre 64 I have one in 300 wm it is a great rifle!

Thanks. Not too sure I will end up with a pre-64 .308w (I have not gotten a lot of calls on my right Kidney that I posted on Craigslist )

Been looking at Mauser Model 98s and Early 70's Winchester Model 70s as well (there are a few more of these floating around).

Thanks again.

Welcome! I had family out in Maple Valley until recently. Really nice area, probably the only other part of the country I'd consider living in other than here.
