If you remember the movie then you know what it will be like. Here are the specs.

Since I gotta pay the rent:

5 bucks a pop.


No BS included. But we need a bunch of you guys who want to learn a few things. I make no promises, it ain't easy.

What you get:

I will spend a day with those who are at a low level in this work. You can climb, you can cut, you can sign a waiver. I'm serious.

If it works out it will be like one of those courses you pay real money for. I am not saying I know every new fangled way of doing it, its more for the novices to get off the ground. You won't die... I hope.

Your questions will be answered but all in all its all on you. This is for guys just getting started and are vague about the stuff you NEED to do and what happens up there.

From dawn to dusk you can come mess around and get your bearings in a controlled envirment. I can't do it for free but for those who wish to get there feet off the ground and have questions that need to be answered I will do this for you.

I will say I am hesistant to do thid and if any one out there thinks its a bad idea PLEASE respond ( you all know me so any BS will only result in more BS and if you ain't got that figured out by now Lord help ya).

You wanna? You gotta.

Now the thing is I have to make good on the money side so there has to be a few of you who sign up. I ma not trying to get rich but I need to be paid for my time. We are going to do real world stuff. I would say nothing more than a guy with a few good years experinace would allready know. I don't do whole lot of fancy smanchy stuff , just the solid basics it takes to SURVIVE.

So that is that. There is no date as of now, lets see who wants to get together and romp. All proceeding will take place on a parcel of land that noone really owns and you have to sign a waiver that says you won't sue me. I am not looking to get over on any avenues, I just want to be able to help the next generation. I know its very hard to get this stuff anywhere else. come here, spend 5 bucks, no BS. The waiver you must sign will only state that you willingly climbed up there and do not hold me responsible if you get hurt or die. Who's in? The hospital is less than 5 miles away, I'll get you there real quick if you need.

That is why I am doing it.
 
Id pay you a few hundred if i was closer.

Ahh, it 8 hours down I 95. Lets all see who wants to come down. Once I picked up these two guys who broke down and drove them from Wilmington DE to Hartford just for the #### of it. You might think I was wasting my time but on the way back I saw a car on the shoulder with flames coming out the bottom. A man, his wife and thier groceries were sitting inside. They didn't know the car was on firre til I pulled over and told them to get the #### out. I drove them home, they gave me a bananna and said thank you, that is when their really cute daughter walked in...

In the immortal words of Kurt Vonnegut Jr. :
Never pass up the opurtunty to travel.

Anyway more of the story:

Back in the late 80's I was headed back from dropping these two SOB's off in Hartford. I was headed south on 95 about 2 am or so ( I don't really recall the exact time but it was late) I saw the car, an old Ford wagon, on the side of the road, flame ( real flame) coming out the bell housing. I pulled over about 50 feet in front of it and got out. I started yelling from that distance but they had no idea. So I threw some rocks at it but they still sat in the car. I could understand why. I was driving a 72 volvo wagon but of course I would be leary of someone yelling and throwing rocks. So I went up to the car, I was scared to cause I thought the thing would blow but I did anyway. I went up and told them about the fire. The guy gets out to look and that was that. I drove them back to thier place and the guy calls AAA. By then the car was toast.

Where are you going to find a parcel of land that no one really owns?
