Topic: Any One From Montana?

[crawlerdan]

hi yall-

this summer i had a chance to move in an electrical transformer into kalispell montana, in the flathead valley, nw montana

i fell in love with the people, the scenery, the air
i need to move there, asap

i know the winters are cold, but i grew up in tahoe, trukee, the rubicon
how much worse can it be? if at all?

teh second i locate a job there, im gone

anyone have any suggestions

im currently a heavy haul truck driver (noT OTR)

but ive wrenched professionally, managed automotive shops, and welded professionally

Im from great Falls, MT...very center of the state and have spent alot of time in the nw part of the state. Wind energy is really starting to pickup here and are installing lots of windmills around the state. If you can get in with that you could make a good some of money by Montana standards

wonder if i could use that to my advantage
