Hi everyone
Marc AKA SmokingDuck
Would like to let the forum members know that his pc has been wasted and that he and his family are ok. He will be leaving for his new job in North Dakota on sunday. He wants everyone to know he has not forgot about you all.

If you talk to him again let him know that we are thinking of him and also let him know that the Rub he sent me is awesome....
Was wondering where he wondered off too. Figured he was busy getting ready for the job and making sure the pups got delivered.
I figured he was busy with the new job. Hope it works out for him.
When you talk to him again please let him know we are pullin' for him, and hoping the new job is the ticket!

Yup, about 12 1/2 hours according to mapquest - my husband & I are doing a little road trip to pick up the puppy. We are driving about 1/2 way Friday night, the rest Saturday morning, going out to dinner with Marc & Tracie on Saturday night and then driving home on Sunday.

Of course it is. Everyplace is pretty far from Indiana.
Give him a big fat hug from us Deb!!! And a little pat on the head to your new pupper!!! :)
That's cool Deb, I was not aware you were getting one of his pups. Have a great time. :)
I hope every thing goes well for him and his family. And also hope that he is able to soon find a job within commuting distance from his home.
Please tell Marc that Jan and I wish him the best of luck in the new job.

Hey all,
I was able to procure a used laptop. Wanted to say thanks to all for all of the well wishes. I still leave for North Dakota on Sunday but now I have to rent a car to get there. Was going to take the train but they cancelled the train due to the flooding of the Red River so now I've got to drive the 17 hours by myself.
I'm optimistic about the job but apprehensive about leaving the family. I will try to check in on here as much as I can but I have a feeling I'm going to be one tired puppy most days. You guys have been such an awesome group to be a part of and I consider myself lucky to call you my friends. Just because I won't be on as much won't mean I won't be here in spirit.
My best to all and the best I can say is that I'm back joining you as an employed man!
Marc
Nice to see you post again Smoking Duck. Sure hope you can continue to check in once in a while.
Take Care my friend.
Hey SD
I hope the job works out well and your time passes quickly while away.
Hope to continue to see ya kicking around the forum! ;)
Where abouts in ND are you going to be?
Mike
Hey Mike,
I'll be staying in a little town called Overly (aren't most towns in ND classified as "little"?). I think I'll primarily be working in Rolla and Rollete. I won't be far from the Canadian border at all. Do you make it down to North Dakota at all? There's a great lake (Devil's Lake) that is renowned for the walleye fishing. Maybe you can make it down sometime and we can hook up and go fishing.
Marc
Once past Chicago, are you taking I-80 or I-90? If taking 80, hop off at Avoca IA on Highway 59, head North about 45 miles and stop on in. I'll give you directions back to I-29 to head North to ND.

Guess it's time to print out the directions :D I think it's 80.
Thanks Tiny, I wish we could but we are going to be really tight for time so we won't be able to do it this trip. If we end out that way again I'll make sure to plan for it.

Will do :) Good thing it's a hug for Marc because I don't think I could reach the top of his head ;D ....
I'll post pics on Monday. Going off to pack the camera now...........
Marc,
Best of luck with the new job. Wishing you all the best for you and your family.

I don't usually get down to ND very often but we have been wanting to get to Estevan SK for a number of years. It's about halfway between Overly, ND and Moose Jaw, SK, about 2.5 hours from Overly. Estevan is just past the Canada/USA border. There is 2 reservoirs there Boundary and Rafferty. Boundary has large mouth bass and is the furthest north body of water that they survive in North America. It's also the only body of water in Saskatchewan with Large Mouth Bass. Both reservoirs also have Walleye & Pike. If we ever get our act together and go this summer I'll let you know for sure.
Mike
Good to hear from you Marc. Glad things are working out for you. Stop on in on your way by but I believe your heading north on 90.
Nice to hear from you Marc, FL is not on the way from IN to ND, so don't stop by.
:P
Good luck with your new job.
Good luck Marc. I know being away from home isn't much fun but it sure helps with the bills. I just hope you're home more often than I get there. My new schedule is brutal. Anyhow take care of yourself and keep in touch. ;)
