Not yet. I'm slow-walking that one.

Dude, I've moved all over the country my whole life. The process of being accepted by the tribe is a learned skill and can be really fun and liberating.
That shit our parents told us about how "They don't deserve to be your friend anyhow" is true.

When I had an opening to fill, I would initially interview the applicants then have each member of my group interview the applicants. Then we would have a meeting and discuss which one would make the best contribution to achieving our objectives AND "fit in well" with the group (best team player). Our selection would be sent up to the next higher for a brief interview, then offered the position. Over the years, I found that this procedure worked pretty well. humfrz |

I would bet that most of that group were born and raised in those parts, have barely a HS education, are blue collar workers or laborers, are still working with retirement 10-15 years away, drive an older pickup, are barely getting by paycheck to paycheck and have been buddies most of their lives. Some may be related one way or another. This is what I can imagine those good old boys around the table are thinking and saying as you enter and after you leave. here comes the hot shot from California I hear he paid a handsome sum for that place he bought, some say he paid cash, paid twice as much as it sold for last time, them Californians are driving the house prices up around here so as WE can hardly afford to buy a house ya, you see all those fancy sports cars he drives - what useless vehicles fucking show off pass over some of those bar nuts He says he's retired - and he ain't no older than we are Wonder how he came into all that money - most likely he inherited it Comes in here and sticks some money into those machines and WINS, then buys us all drinks - what a show off I'll bet he has never done a hard, honest days work, in his whole life NOW, if I have the group profiled right, how do you deal with the situation? Over the years I have interacted with people from all over the US, from slack jawed, mouth breathing, inbreds from Arkansas to wealthy, highly educated snobs from the East coast. In the words of my very smart wife, "you aren't going to change them, so, don't even try." My advice is to just be yourself and experience other groups. Soon you will find a group of people that you will feel more comfortable being around. Oh yes, I'd suggest you quit buying them drinks, that just fuels their perception of you. humfrz |

Well, I only drive a dodge truck to the bar. And I've only bought drinks twice, and for the entire bar, not just them. Seems to be what most do when one of the machines pays off. And I wear the same thing I've worn for decades; Carhart t-shirt and jeans. Same as everyone else.
I guess I miss my friends. |

I just read an article about the platform for mayor was keeping Californians from moving in. Boise I think. Its a tough spot. @humfrz is probably right. Maybe there are other outsiders feeling lost. Or even at home. I've also been surprised to finally understand that the places I want to spend my time is because of the people, not the place. Amazing places without the right people to share just not the same,though I definitely need time without people to recharge. Hanging in there. Get out, do things. The friends will happen.

This is a subject that I can not contribute much value to though since when I did move from city to city it was with the Army so new friends were easy to make and you quickly forgot the old ones that you may never see again. I have lived in the same city ever since I left so have not had the huge disruption to my life that moving to another place would cause. You don't have to move far away to miss your friends though. One of my closest friends for over 40 years lives about 2 miles away and in the last two years I have spent more time with Ultra and yourself (and the wives of course) than I have even spoke to him. Changing interests and hobbies have caused us to drift apart just as effectively as if one of us had moved 1,000 miles away. Surprisingly enough both of us are fine with that and value the time we do spend together that much more. If I recall correctly you spent your whole life up to the move living and working within about a 6 block radius so this massive change will take more than a few months to get used to. It will happen and as you have said you met some great people from the car club and the previous owners of the house so just give it time and that will continue to expand. Not sure that a group of guys that are in the dive bar "every time" you go in are worth feeling bad about anyway.

Currently looking at new wheels for next summer and Konig released a new wheels called Hexaform and it caught my attention. It comes in bronze and black. If they sell it in 17x8 +35ish, I might buy it
