Joe Handley Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 My store has been insanely busy today, and the customers have all been patient and understanding of that! Considering I really wasn't sure if we were still going to be here when I was told the store was changing hands back in February, it's very, very good to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back in the 60s and 70s drive in movie screens were at least four or five times larger than that one. Of course they're all gone now. David G.

Tom Geiger Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Sad to say all the drive in theaters in New Jersey are long gone. The land was just too expensive. Movie companies knocked them down and built large multiplex theaters that could show many movies at the same time, all year around. Plus there was enough land left to build a shopping center! Ah, progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a walk in the woods, sit on a hill and watch a movie from across the lot. If it were crowded enough at least one car on that side had the speaker loud enough for me.

Joe Handley Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Finally finished the first rebody of any of my R/C's in a couple years, and it's already been a bit of a show stopper and head scratcher for as simple as it is Here's what it looked like when I bought it back in 2011 And here's what the body is "supposed" to look like. Needless to say, I'm kinda proud of it. Edited August 10, 2014 by Joe Handley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 ^Now THAT'S a transformation! I think your rendition looks way better than the way it's "supposed" to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Everyone: "How big was it?" It wasn't THAT big- about fifteen pieces, but they sounded really good and the singer was excellent.

Tom Geiger Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Another interview. And I found out I'm actually still in the running for the other job I had an interview for. Perhaps something will finally break...besides me? Charlie Larkin Cool! Hopefully one of these will come through for you. Sometimes it will be months between the interview and the offer. Especially over the summer months, decisions just don't get made. Job searches are long and tedious affairs. I just concluded one a few months ago and don't wish it on anyone. It's surely a numbers game, the more irons you have in the fire, the better chances you have. You can't count on any one opportunity or interview, as I've been told there were up to 300 applicants for some positions. And you also don't even know the motivation of the company or reason for the interview. In this era of equal opportunity and transparency, companies have policies that have them go through the entire search process, even if they have a preferred candidate in their pocket. So they will do their internal search, posting the job for their own employees to apply, and then do the external search, posting on their own web site and the job boards. And in some cases, they already have a person who is working in that job on a temporary basis, or someone they wish to promote into that job, but they have to go through the process. Yea, everyone who applies is wasting their time, since they are just being interviewed as a formality to be excluded. It really stinks. In my year and a half of seeking a new role, I averaged an interview a month. I network in my industry and was able to find out what happened to all those positions. Of them a quarter of those went to preferred candidates. HALF of the positions never got filled. Companies change their requirements, sometimes eliminate open positions or change their mind during the process. I even had one company that pretty much brought me in to pick my brain on their process. So that leaves only a quarter of the positions where they were honestly looking for a candidate and I had a fair shot at the position. And no doubt you've heard that most positions are filled through networking. After all my work at finding a fresh opportunity, I wound up being recruited by an old boss. So it's pretty much true! Good luck to ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
