Kentucky

I' currently working in Kentucky....a beautiful state with lots of good folks. There isn't one thing about this place that feels wrong to me. I absolutely HATE traveling...but here, I don't think about home a whole lot. The weather is perfect, people smile and say hi to you for no reason, and I haven't been flipped off by another driver since I'v been here. The roads are flawless and smooth, the air smells like lilacs at night...no mosquito overpopulation.

I've never considered moving out of MI. Until now.

WTF are you doing there? It's called southern hospitality btw. It starts once you leave Ohio. :Chef: :tuc:

Working on a machinery install in a factory.

I've been in alot of other southern states, and Kentucky wins hands down. There has got to be at LEAST a 3:1 ratio of pink vs. blue as well.

Example : went out to luch tonight (nightshift) and the waitress asked me my name...I told her, she wrote it down and said "Whad'yall need punkin?"

I placed my order and it was taking to long, so I had to leave without eating and get back to the plant. Well...she sends my order back to the plant with one of my work partners (there was like 12 of us) with a note hand written on the top of the styrafoam box that read "(insert my name here), I'm really sorry about your order, please come back and see me, hugs and kisses" and a little heart drawn on it.

I didn't really consider this flirting, due to the fact that I was covered in dirt and had a doo rag on looking pretty mean. It just got a friendly vibe from the whole thing...the same one I get from the people here.

Lots of other good things have happened, that's just one of them. This place just feels right. More so than any other place I have been.
 
I've been working for my company going on 16 years and I gonna do something tomorrow I've never even considered.

Update my resume, and briefly dicuss this with my real estate agent.

This is crazy.
 
I have pretty much determined that when you leave New England you only meet nice people. Everyone up here is an idiot!

Here is a story about some odd laws that are on the books in the great state of Kentucky:

"No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club." The law was later amended with: "The provisions of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to female horses."

I heard an old law about it being unlawful to detonate a nuclear device within 300 yrds. of any given city limit. Not sure if it was in KY though, but it was a southern state. LOL

See ya'll in the morning. I gotta go deal with the a tidal wave of dirtbags. Have a happy day all.
 
Kentucky Update:

Several people down here are trying to help me...find a job in my field, etc. The cost of living down here is a little cheaper than MI, so the average wage isn't as high, but you know what? I don't think I really care....the way people treat me down here makes a pocket full of dough seem somewhat useless.

I eat lunch every night at a pub near the plant...I met a barmaid named (insert barmaids name here) who offered me a place to stay until I find a house. How cool is that??? She is apperently heir to a farm worth in excess of 4 million bones....matters nothing to me, but how can someone be so friendly to a stranger?

I'll make my own way, don't get me wrong, but I'm just not used to people being so trusting. I don't know what to make of it.

I might be able to help with a job. What all can you do?

PLC programming, Allen Bradley PLC5, Modicon, Uticor, PanelView...just to name a few systems I have experience with.

ROBOTS: Kawasaki, ABB, Fanuc, Nachi.

Industrial control automation from concept to finished product. My current field is automotive, but automation is automation.

Automated manufacturing machinery...pretty much all the same. It's all ones and zeros.

I will look into that as soon as I rest my tired ass....just came off an 18 hour ordeal at the Ford Plant...there was and Amonia spill, Final assembly ran out of parts, and to top it off, one of the robots in the cab framer lost his marbles due to a severed encoder cable. Nice night huh?

Good times.

Thanks for the info bro! As soon as I can think straigh, I'll call and fax them a resume. K your way!!
