    Default Noob here....

    Hey everybody, just found the forum and thought I would give a look. Well I started working for USIC a little less than a year ago. Still damage free.... knock on wood. I have kind of become a geek about my job, and its good to finally find a place where I can talk about my job without getting looked at like Im speaking in tongues!

    I have taken to locating pretty well I think. I took on my own area a month and a half after training, and have been doing some major projects as well as all the little single address tickets that come along with the nasty stuff. Not trying to toot my own horn but I even get to show some of our senior locators stuff they didnt know. The cool thing about this job is that as soon as you start thinking you have it all figured out you realize you dont know crap!

    Anyways I am on the USIC east Florida area in the south palm crew. Yes indeed... lots of grounding issues down here!

    I am open to any new info you can show me, and am always willing to answer any questions anybody may have for me.

    ALSO!!!... I am a regular forum user (motorcycle stuff mostly) and am aware that every forum has its dos and donts, and that some comments or questions will get get you flamed to kingdom come! So if there are any in house rules please give me a heads up. (I am sure there is a rules thread and yes I will read it!)

    Well thats about it for now!

    Welcome to the 'vine.

    I'm not sure of all the rules but I think they go drink,drank,drunk or something like that. Actually I don't think there are many rules except no bashing others(well a little bashing might be ok).

    And here I was thinking my picture was the attraction! Welcome Pikey you can find a lot of helpful tips on the site and if you don't find a particular answer, just ask and some will probably be able to help.

    Talking Re: Noob here....

    Introducing: Ashley
    Hometown Hottie From: Boynton Beach, Florida

    Hey Pikey - Welcome to the'Vine! - I LUV all the Treasure Coast scenery! I am envious of your close proximity to the 10 lb plus, trophy-size, large mouth bass fishing hole of "The Big O" - Lake Okeechobee. Dude - I'd be out there every other weekend all year long drowning bait if I lived in your area!

    Glad to have you as a member and please post often!

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    P.S. - Speaking of catching a Florida trophy, I wonder what size worm a person would need to catch Ashley?

    I imagine 6' to 9" would work but I would guess it would take a lot of $$$ to 'mount' her !!!
