Went to the county tax collector's office... because that's pretty much where you do every-damn-thing in FL. Pay your taxes, register a vehicle, get a license, get a fishing license, get a CCW...

Anywho... applied for my CCW. Took a grand total of 15 minutes from filling out the online form to taking the picture and getting my prints taken. Dude said they usually expedite the process for those with DD-214's. I should have it in less than 30 days.

Florida sportsman's license for veterans... $20 and it covers hunting and fishing... ocean or freshwater. I'm digging it.

Yessir... livescan. Filled out, I think, 3 pages of "fill in the blank" and "yes/no" questions. Signed it. Uploaded my DD-214 right there. Got a picture taken, rolled my own prints on the scanner... paid the fee, got a copy of the app and I was out the door.

Hats off to Florida, equipped for issuing, instead of preventing, carry permits, unlike some freedom hating states. I looked into a Florida non-resident permit before Georgia and South Carolina got off their aazzes and adopted reciprocal recognition of carry permits. Before that I had a Utah non-resident permit to drive into Georgia while carrying.

I will buy another and given my luck there will be more tranny issues.

But it's gonna wait a while.

Already spent every dime. Paid off credit cards, wife's car, and a chunk of my HELOC.

Was talking about buying another truck wife said don't do it with your luck it could be raining tiddies and you'd catch a d1ck in your face.

LMAO!

Positive mindset, brother... roll with your beater for awhile, but eventually... a man needs a truck. Especially when you like to do the things you do with the camping and the gridlife and such.

Right now I'm gonna hold out until a truck I know about comes up for sale. Buddy sale, known history and issues etc. With the Ram I thought having warranty was the solution. It was not.

Don't want to buy anything 2020-22 they've all sat in fields and lots pre-rusting.

I'm more tempted to look for something 20 years old from the southwest.

Was thinking I'll need something before I start on the kitchen remodel next spring. But Menards rents trucks for $20/hr. So really I don't need a truck for 2 years. I will want/need one when I build a barn. I'd even say screw a truck and go cargo van, but those are even harder than pickups to find right now.

Sound like sound planning. At first changing jobs was a challenge, but learning new things is more fun than doing the same things day after day. I spent almost nine years as a government employee, a dam operator, but got fed up with civil service BS so I quit and never looked back. I did miss living on a remote site.

I've been construction labor, a welder, welding instructor, welding inspector, dam operator, quality assurance engineer, lead quality assurance engineer, field material engineer, nuclear power plant spare parts administrator, cost accounting manager, information services manger, cost account planning engineer, contracts engineer, configuration management engineer, data administrator and system administrator, with a few other odd/temporary jobs mixed in.

Nuclear Power Plant Spare Parts Administrator?

You led the effort to add extra parts in the nuclear power plant that come in the box?
Guess it is less disconcerting than Spare Parts Searcher.

When something critical breaks, you don't want to be ordering or searching for parts, power plant down time is expensive.

Once a nuke plant in licensed to load fuel and operate, the license holder has period of time to build a database of critical spare parts for safe and reliable operation. They also need to know the shelf life of those parts, purchase the parts and maintain them in a controlled warehouse.

As you can imagine, there are thousands of components in a power planet and many of them have several thousand internal parts. Some manufacturers supply lists of spare parts, some do not, in either case, there are thousand of manuals and drawing that need analysis. Identical/similar components, e.g., air operated valves of specific sizes can be analyzed as a group, but only if their function and criticality to operation is the same. It's a daunting and critical task, time constrained and under the critical eye of the NRC.

Oh, and meanwhile, manufactures sell off product lines, change their designs, their materials and decide to leave the nuclear business entirely. So it also include commercial dedication of standard parts for use in a nuclear plant.

The job was interesting technically and it exposed me to my first relational computer database, Data Ease. Probably long dead software by now, but good in the pre-Window days of DOS.

But any other power generation type, you'd still be a spare parts admin, yet never be given a budget for spare parts to administrate until something critical breaks

I need to get my butt outside for the walk. Puppy dog is snoring in his bed. I don't think he's ready.
