I've been keeping an eye open for ya since we talked a while back. Did you check out craigslist Denver/springs/Boulder? And it is pretty expensive in these areas, but the wages should be better too. And I'm just waiting for our buddy to hit me with an excited text, and I'll be talking to him about ya. Shit is tough sometimes, I feel like I'm moving at a snails pace, lol.

Yeah I've been looking through areas of interest on craiglist watching for that one special deal on a place, or the right job. I've been checking CO, Michigan, even looked at a few things in Oregan. Expensive is an understatement for most of those areas lol. I'm gonna keep looking though. Thanks for keeping me in mind bud!

Ya I would bet most legal areas aren't cheap. Have you looked into what it takes to get badged in a legal state? I really don't know because I've never tried. You might want to make sure you don't have to be already living in said state to get a badge.

Oh yeah there are hoops to jump through. Last time I looked I believe CO required 1 year of residence to get a badge. Even if I can't get a badge to work in for in the industry right away, I would be able to get a med card, and grow my own more legally.

Oh ok, I thought you were looking for more specific work. I'll keep watching for you amigo. If your thoughts get too bogged down trying to get it figured out, just dip into the bag of pe.

So here's the big announcement!

I was recently offered a job just outside Eugene Oregon! An old friend is expanding his Organic edible mushroom/hemp farm and has asked me to come work for him. My wife and I have wanted to move west for years as many of you know, and it was never the right time, so this opportunity seemed like a perfect chance to make our dreams come true. We will have an onsite glass shop as well so I'll be able to get back to melting once we are settled and have some spare time. As time gets closer I should have more details. Right now we are in a scramble to sell as much as we can to cut down on what we have to move :). Time to downsize! I shut my garden back down last week and gave my genetics to a couple of friends. I've got another buddy that is gonna use my old equipment. I went ahead and gifted it to him since its all old, and paid for. Trying to pay a little karma forward!

Mycology has fascinated me for years, and I'm truly looking forward to expanding my knowledge on the subject. Its also going to be amazing being someplace with big trees and hills and nature again. Its gonna be an awesome adventure. I can't wait to share some of it with you guys. It really feels like exactly what we are supposed to be doing.

Oregon is beautiful. Nice calm weather, and it's really green. I grew up in WA, which is really similar. Oregon is actually one of the states I would choose to live in, and was one of the options I gave my wife. But we decided on CO since it's closer to the rest of her family. I think you will like it. I'm excited for ya.

Thanks a lot man, we are really excited too!

I'm not sure exactly what our housing is gonna be like to get started, but I expect to have a personal grow back up and running as soon as possible. It's going to be really nice not having the usual impending concern with growing in an illegal state.

I know, I'm so thankful that I can grow legally. I always dreamed it would become legal when I was younger, and figured it would someday, but it happened sooner than I expected. Hooray! I just should have started a little sooner, since it's been legal for me to grow for the last 10 years with my Med card. But I'm really happy for you man. Good seafood on the West Coast too, I miss that.

You're going to love the freedom that comes with that man. Grow your plants and enjoy life.

Well guys it’s been a super crazy last month trying to figure this move all out! We are now in Oregon our new home!! We have lots of details to work out still but it’s all coming together. We spent the last week on the road across America and had an awesome road trip adventure to get here.

thundercat if you were to sell glass online I would definately buy a bowl from you!

maybe the first step is figuring out the best spot to fine tune your ability as a custom glass blower at a studio where you can crank thing out and outsource more sales as your own business.
Maybe it just takes meeting the right people to help set it up?

I've seen a few pics of your work here and there and your very talented man you are probably selling glass alot cheaper than you have to

Thanks guys!! We are so excited to be here! I went today and met with @Dr.D81 for the first time in person :). He is who I’ll be working for and I can’t wait! The property is awesome. The project is gonna be a lot of hard work, but a lot of fun to I think.

I am definitely going to be selling glass more openly on here now that I live in a legal state!! I’m really excited to not have to hide anymore! This new move we made is to Eugene Oregon which happens to be a hub for glass blowers in the US. By tax time I should be set back up and melting again and I would love to make custom pieces for everyone!
