Well i am too, but, dang, Dad took it to a whole new level!- and most of it was scattered bits and pieces to unstarted and projects that only Dad knew how he wanted it to play out!!

 

I have all daughters.... and there's no way they'd know how things are laid out in my head either. They have little to no interest in what I'm doing in the garage all the time. Even when it's fixing something that is theirs. They just know it goes in there broke, and "usually" comes back fixed. LOL

 

Make it stop

 

I feel ya, White. WAY too many people are moving to CO and to my area specifically. In the eight years we've lived here, traffic has quadrupled at least. Yes, I know "we're part of the problem" because we moved here, too, but dammit, that's different!

 

With the demonization of coal for energy (and the unconstitutional blocking of loading ports on the west coast) and the reduced production of virgin steel, West Virginia has some huge economical issues.
It is a beautiful state to visit and vacation, but it is so poor.
That is why so many people leaving it.

Texas or Utah are the places I would move to if I ever left the Democratic Peoples Commonwealth of Virginia, so I can understand why others are moving there.
If you want less people moving to Utah you gotta get Matt to stop posting videos of all the great places and nice people there.

Of course, you guys could just be multiplying like bunnies.

 

Yep... I'll be honest with you, I don't care if they come here as long as they adapt to our environment rather than adapting our environment to them. There is a shirt going around that I've seen which reads "Don't California my Utah". Truer words can not be spoken. My next door neighbor moved here from CA because he didn't want to raise his family in that corrupt state. I can't blame a guy for that... and he's not trying to change everything while he's here. I've also got another friend up the street that just moved here from TX in August. Same deal, they just love it here and are actually quite active in the community already.

Most of the jackwagons that want to come in here and change the state have planted root in SLC. I'll just say that you can tell by driving through downtown SLC what's going on.

Our biggest issue, which is the elephant in the corner, is we simply do NOT have enough water to sustain the added population. Period. We have very stupidly been selling water to other states for years now, and it's coming back to bite us. Most of the new jobs are tech jobs... and one day the bottom will fall out.

 

Demonization of coal? Sorry Noob but that's just outright nonsense. From converting coal burners to natural gas to shutting down coal burners outright in favor of building new natural gas burners the simple economics of coal vs. natural gas is what has happened to the coal industry.

"At the beginning of 2016, the national average price of natural gas was consistently below the cost of coal delivered to power plants, reaching a low point of about $16/MWh in March, while coal has averaged between $21/MWh and $23/MWh for the past two years." The local coal burner is being converted to natural gas because it costs $400,000 a day less to burn natural gas.

 

LOL.... this feller is having a rough time with my username. Not sure where the "head" is coming from.

Ask any hippie, or whatever the marxists are calling themselves now, about coal and they will tell you that we need to stop using it even if it means less power.
Virgin steel ain't made from natural gas. Needs coke from coal. Import steel = less coal need. Remelt uses arc furnaces. Need gas or elec for aluminum.
East coast coal exports are way down because most users are in Asia and with so many ports on the left coast closing coal ports it leaves diminish port capacity used up by west coast shippers. Australian coal out of the Sino market has recently helped as export fuel coal cost is high enough to ship from the east coast.

Now imagine that most of the come heres are the stereotypical new yorker, new jersey, or other high tax, big city, everyone here is just a dumbass, that's not how we did it in new york, jackasses like on those housewives or that MTV show with snooky. The most self righteous, bigoted, know it all, slimy worms you could ever meet. NOW A FEW ARE GREAT, most are not.
They run our government now. They seem to want to change it into another sh|thole like the one they escaped.

 

I was wondering if that fella isn't the third version of your friend and he knows exactly what he's doing. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.
