Hows it hanging out there. Not sure if any of you will remember me, its been a while. Me and the wife have been wanting to relocate out there for a long time. We made a trip out there in March to the Portland surrounding areas and loved it but I havent been able to find work. And doing this from another state is a real bitch. So after a couple months with no luck we have decided to just pack up the family and move us out there. Stay in a hotel until I find a house for rent. Then after exploring for several months possibly buy a place. This is the only way I see doing this with the luck I have been having. I know it sounds crazy. What do you all think. Have any of you done something like this before with a wife and two kids. I an going to give my notice in two weeks at work so there no turning back. So I hope you have room for one more gun loving family who will help support the right to keep and bear arms in your state. Oh ya, We arent windsurfers either :) LOL I do have a couple questions that I am sure I asked before but just want to make sure of a couple. 1. How long do you have to be a resident before you can apply for a CHL. Some places it 6 months, some as soon as you move to the state. 2. Is there a certain county I want to stay out of. Meaning a place thats harder to get your CHL. 3. Is washington county still the best place to live for NFA signoffs. 4. I do not have to contact the local police or state when bringing the AR's into the state right. 5. Handguns. I do have to notify or register these right. Sorry for not knowing, but I jusy havent had the internet time to search for the answers. 6. Anyone have and contacts for temp agencies that frind work for computer tech jobs or know anyone who is hiring. 7. I promissed the family I would buy them a dog. It must be a yellow male lab. Does anyone one have a source. Right now it looks like we will be looking in washington county,hillsboro and the surrounding area for a rental. Thanks for you time. The Lynch's |

www.emp.state.or.us/jobs/ This may be your best option. Search through there, find a job you are interested, then contact the nearest Oregon Employment Department. They are in most major cities, as far as I know. After a quick registration, they will give you the name of the employer and who to call to schedule an appointment, Jobs range from temporary, to short term, to careers. Good luck getting up and running in OR. |

Hey man well lots of luck to you on the move. You are taking a risk but IMHO I think the job market is pretty good in OR right now. You should be able to find a house/apt for rent fairly easily. Also on the job front: I once had to get a job in one state while living in another. Inevitably I found that prospective employers just told me to contact them when I got into town. That's probably what you'll find too. So my point is, don't get too worked up if you don't get much love when calling employers while you're still in CA. Just get here and pound the pavement, you'll find something. As for the dog, look for a Lab rescue -- that's where we got our dog from (not a Lab, but there are rescues for all breeds these days). I just Googled "labrador rescue Oregon" and got this link: http://www.oregonlabrescue.org/index.html How's that for service? And/or check out the local pound/shelter. When will we see you at PR?
