WOW, that would be a great job.

I sent in a resume for a job one time. They told me they would pay me what I was worth..... I thought about it and told them I don't work that cheap

.

Good luck Joe, I sure you will find the right person.

If I was a single man, I'd be all over that. I casually mentioned it to my wife and it would appear south Texas holds no appeal for her.

Would I have to skin roadkill and be nice to Yankees?

Well, if it were not for the part about getting along with people, I could apply. Also, did you mention working with/for Richard?

Andrew · Post by **Andrew** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:42 pm

I'm sure somebody around here is probably qualified for that, not me though.

Good luck with the search.

I was a maintenance and construction superintendent for Honolulu, and I can rough in plumbing, frame a house and do electrical, a jack of all trades, and I love the outdoors. Sounds like a dream job especially since no more family here in Hawaii. Hard part would be convincing wife to move away from her aging parents though she does have 3 brothers here to look after them later on in life. I know whoever gets this job will be in hog heaven. Best wishes to all applicants.

Just out of curiousity, what is the nearest town to your ranch?

Griff · Post by **Griff** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 9:26 pm

Wow! Sounds perfect. For someone else. Wish I was about 15 years younger.

In one year, six months, and 6 days (not that I'm counting) I will be retiring early. Why couldn't it be now?

Cubrock;
The ranch is just 2-3 mile south of Hondo, which is between San Antonio and Uvalde.

Maybe she sees a wealth of conversation subjects coming from such employment?

I can see your boys there now...

What a deal! Heck, I wish I was either younger or older!.. OK, younger. But what a deal! You have to love the folks on this site. Can argue and spit all day long but always doing great things or giving great opportunities for one another!

Scott64A · Post by **Scott64A** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 1:49 pm

Ha ha... I can do all that and more, but I could never convince the wife to move.

I'm adding it to the "O, to be single..." list.

So far:

1:) Be pirates in the Carribbean, (A cousin of mine offered a spot on his 55ft tri-maran and all food and drink included just to be first mate. -Too bad I had a pregnant wife at the time!

2:) Move to Alaska and pan gold.

3:) Move to Hawaii and be a paramedic there. (This would involve being single and an orphan, as family visits would be once in a lifetime,)

4:) Game Ranch Manager for 86er. To plant enough food to eat, so long as I could cull hunt when the meat stores got low.

Say, would a horse be included?

My wife is of the same opinion. Pluss my current employer wont let me go to start a new job at this time. But I did get relly excited for a moment.
86er I hope you find the right man/women for the job.

Oh, if this had only come up 25 yrs ago. I spent many hours in the seat of a tractor working my Granpa's farm, and his small herd of herefords. Then I was trained in the plumbers and pipefitters union after high school. I have always loved the outdoors hunting, fishing and camping. But now at 57 yrs old and looking forward to retirement in a couple of yrs, I wouldn't be a good candidate.
