                rescuefoot Milnor, down in the SE corner. If you’ve seen a Bobcat it was made 8 miles from here. I did live in Drake for a year which was 40 miles from Minot.

                  I’m a banker during the day. I manage a branch, and generally enjoy it. I’m not any good at playing politics, so that has hurt me in the past, but I do enjoy what I do, especially my interactions with small business owners and helping them achieve their dreams.

                            wdaly i was on the local fire dept for 7 years, firefighter 1, 2 and MPO. As well as some other certifications. I miss it, life just got too busy having to have 2 jobs to make ends meet. I made the sacrifice to resign so someone else could give the time it takes for a position like that.

                                      deweymeats PapaSop I know if I had live to do over, I would have become an electrician. I loved doing it, and when I take in account all the years and money invested in my too many degrees, I would have been much better off with a solid trade. College degrees are great, but not the goal for ever one.
