New to the forums here but not new to traveling and exploring. Hopped a few, thumbed, rubber tramped, and skated around for the majority of my adult life. Looking for information, contacts, and good times.


Thanks for having me

Welcome to StP! You're in the right place

 

[Freerange]

Sweet, thanks for the warm welcome ntdxc1878. Been doing a little searching around in here and figured it was time to jump in the fire.

welcome aboard.

this ship's sinking. (jk, glad to see new faces)

what's your destination right now, friend?

 

[Freerange]

For now i am getting some medical attention for a lower back injury in Oregon but once that is a wrap i am heading south to NV amd then onto southern Ca and Az to skate a few backyard pools and have some fun.

 

[Zbart1108]

Welcome and enjoy, so much info so little time lol.

Being down with this fucked up back is giving me plenty of time for lurking about and reading up. Maybe a diet of vicarious living will help me out un some existential way::?

 

[deleted user]

it certainly will.

let me know if you come through show low, az. I'm in the area as off tomorrow and, for some time, indefinitely.

 

[Freerange]

Will do man, thank you. I wouldn't mind heading out that way and checking out NM finally. I really really love the desert and the SW.

With what the hurricane season just did their is plenty of work if you got a twic card and osha

 

[Freerange]

I am not farmiliar with the twic card but i have other certs from my union.

Most planet work requires TWIC to get hired and into the planet, even for sub contracting companies. It cost about 140$ and it includes a fbi background check and they fingerprint you (creepy, for sure)

 

[Freerange]

Thats very invasive imo but for a good hourly i could gut my pride a bit i reckon.

 

[Phinigma]

In Louisiana currently. You can make easily 20-25 an hour with a twic card around here or in Houston right now especially with the hurricane cleanup. Safe travels.

I don't like that I gave my fingerprints up like I did for a TWIC but no going back now. I wish I wasn't trapped into getting it but I don't think it really matters. If not planet work, their is plenty of construction work in the area there
