makya Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Welcome back Makya! Go get that field datto and post some pictures already!:fu: (or steal that dually 620 back from Mike!) going out there this week. Can't steal it back from Mike, I don't think it's even the same truck any more!!!:eek: Texass? :lol: There has to be a story there. Good to see your still hangin'. It's a very long story, so i'll try to condense it. When we got back from the trip where we took the dually to mike, the remodeling jobs I had lined up had all cancelled sue to the economy. the Info. I was given was that the state of Ca. expects unemployment to hit 18% before it gets better(it was over 12% when we left), I couldn't find work and went broke, so we left and went to Tx. 2eDeYe;204771'']Welcome back or whatevah :D no need to be a hater:fu: I missed seeing pics of your 4x. I liked that truck.:D Do you still have it? Still have the 4x, I'm hoping to get it to Tx around the end of the year. hi, i missed you. welcome back. thanks Hi Perry, Welcome back! I will be debuting the dually in 10 days at the Parker run. Do You know what it now looks like???? Its a "little" different!! Take care, Mike I need to find the recent pictures, Josh will get a kick out of it!:D Welcome Back. :) thanks Payed your debt to society eh? :D Dude, I keep telling you, they'll never catch me!!!

yello620 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 You happen to be in the Dalles area? I might me visiting down there in late October.:D I have never been to that area of the states before. So did you end up finding work in Texas? What do you do for a living? Quote Link to comment
makya Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'm about 1-1/2 hours north of the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The Metroplex is definitely it's own little world compared to the rest of Tx. They have a Medieval Times also:D I haven't gone yet, but will soon. http://www.medievaltimes.com/findcastles/dallas/ I'm doing construction still, Updating/restoring a building constructed in the early 1800's that houses a pharmacy downstairs and has a living quarters upstairs. I'm working for someone else right now, but with the market out here, I should be on my own within about 3 months at the rate projects are lining up. Eventually I'd like to set up my own woodworking/moulding shop, which I think is possible within a few years. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 i heard houses in texas were cheap too, and have seen a few. problem is wages are lower there? Either way. Would be great to work here, pay for a house there, then move there in 10 years when paid off and take it easy :thumbup: (you know, like mexicans do, only we would be keeping the money in the US :rofl:) Quote Link to comment
makya Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 (you know, like mexicans do, only we would be keeping the money in the US :rofl:) It depends on where you live. we're up in N. texas where there isn't a large population so it's cheaper. I'm making about $30/hr as a contractor, and I was making about $15/hr as a carpenter. In the cities, the wages really aren't much different than Ca. It's definitely made me think about commuting the 1-1/2 hours to Dallas. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Get any work done on the 4x4? :D Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I don't know you, but I'm pleased to meet you. I say we need to start ratsun events in this area for the eastern Texas and Louisiana guys. oh and check this out... http://easttexas.craigslist.org/cto/1940194157.html I just bought 2 620s. Wife would never let me spend that much or buy a third. I know you're new to the Texas thing, but I think the rule is after 6 months, you become an official Texan and are required to make fun of California and all lesser states. I'm about 6.5 hours from you so we're not exactly neighbors, but I get excited when I see Datsun fans that aren't on the west coast. Quote Link to comment
