I spend an hour driving along the coast to the office, I spend 10 hours doing system management on our software and being the sole purchasing manager for a multi-branch retail building supply company, then I drive an hour home along the coast...

Thanks Loud... Now I feel even more justified about my plans !! ;)

Uh as I recall there are a few places in Vegas that are already like that.
To test this out try to get away with something in any casino and see how long it takes for security to nab your ass.

BTW Sin, how the hell are you going to tap your own water? Last I heard Lake Mead was going down faster than a ten dollar hooker.

I`m currently looking for property in Utah ( although there`s still no guarantee there will be water there in the future either :frown: )

My profession is.... Hell, nevermind... I`m just a professional loser looking for attention.



Actually, other than the obvious (as stated above) I`m a burned out automotive retail/wholesale parts manager with over 20 years at my job, whose looking to get out of this God forsaken city as soon as possible and move to a rural area where I can live off-the-grid, grow my own food, tap my own water, and escape our hopeless society.


Gee.. Did I almost sound a bit cynical for a second there ?

As Frank Zappa said - Sounds like you want to go to Montana soon and be dental floss tycoon?
 
Papers? Papers? You must show your papers!

Scary stuff. Freedom, what freedom! I think more of this goes on than we'd like to know...

Yeah, how's this:

[FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica]All travellers in the U.S. will be required to get government-issued credentials and official clearance before every flight, both within the United States as well as internationally.

This will include water vessels and they're pushing for Private Aircraft compliance as well.

Don't believe it? Here's a link to the proposal on the Department of Homeland Security website:

Ski instructor, dog trainer, singer-song writer... I tend to bore easily and reinvent myself about every 5 years! This week its supplier/distibutor to the circuit board and metal finishing industry (family biz). Last 5 years was running an off-leash dog walking company - 15 employees, 75 dogs a day, five mile hike, home/office pick up and drop off. Crazy Californians work so much that they cant even walk thier own dogs!!!

NYC has been working on and expanding their CCTV system, they hope to have it like london in some time.
 
Auto wholesale and real estate flipping.
 
VP for a telecom company headquartered in Northern VA. Have been in Telecom for 14 years, worked for AT&T and Verizon. Recently got my MBA from Johns Hopkins.

Have 370 people in my group and they are spread all over the U.S. Too much travel.

Thank God telecom is starting to come-back, because it's been brutal the past 6 years.
 
Pretty interesting thread!

I have a PhD in Molecular Biology/Genetics and did various forms of cancer research for about 16 years (including graduate work). Now I stay home with our two young kids and change diapers, wipe noses and use the Cruiser for what it was really built for: trips to the grocery store, preschool and the coffee shop!

By the way, my wife paid for it - she's a dentist. She pays for the coffee too. :) And we do use the Cruiser off road, in the snow, and to haul our boat. But everyone knows those things really push the limits of its capabilities.
 
Computer Storage Sales for a big technology company. 20 years in the industry, 12 on the vendor side in engineering and sales roles. It pays the bills, but there are about a zillion other things I would rather do with my time. Hi ho, hi ho... :grinpimp:
 
Ph.D in electrical engineering from Cornell U specializing in information theory, lived 6 winters in Central NY & loved it (all but the salted roads) despite living in So. CA for 24 yrs. Used to develop image/video coding algorithms/standards for major US and Japanese corporations (the video/imaging used in HDTV, on cell phones, in digital cameras uses these algorithms). Now I'm a missile engineer, lot more fun!

LX is my 4th car in 21 yrs: First car was a '84 toyota SR5 extracab mini 2wd w/ 22re I bought in '86 for $5.7K, drove it 10 yrs and sold it for $2K. Second car was my father's hand-me-down '86 4Runner w/ 22re I received in '00 w/ 93K (been in the family since new, $15K back then). After mods and lots of driving, it has 205K mi, still going strong and is my DD. Third car is a '01 Honda prelude SH (wife's DD), fourth car is the LX weekend/road-trip car (baby's car...I just pay the bills & do the maintenance!)
