A couple of other work options that we chose are the sugar beet harvest, driving trucks for the farmer and Christmas tree sales. Both jobs pay well and are short duration, 2 weeks and 4 weeks, so you don't get bored or burned out. Those 2 jobs pay for 6-7 months of our full time expenses. Edit (Don't mean to understate the work involved, truck driving is 12 hour days, tree sales means loading and tying down 2-300 trees on car roofs.) Greg

Anyone have a opinion on scanners? I am looking at the Home-Patrol 2 scanner for use in campgrounds around the country. This unit seems user friendly by being able to enter the zip code for local frequencies. Has anyone used this scanner? Well, got the scanner a week ago and it really is easy to use, just put in the zip code and began picking up emergency calls from 20 miles a way using the stock antenna indoors. It automatically scans through about 50 frequencies from the local area. I plan to get a outdoor antenna and mount it to the ladder next. Greg
