I have a Nesco, similar to this one dehydrator

I haven't used it in a few years, but I recall I had no issues with it.  Seemed to work just fine.  I see they make a 1000 watt one now, that might be the way to go.

Mi Vida Loca :)

Sold Hammerking and started 2 new businesses.  One marketing and consulting and the other sidexside performance parts.  Still teaching.  Love the teaching part, don't care for the clientelle I have.

It's hard to encourage kids to graduate high school so they can get a decent job when no one at home has a job at all and they do just fine.  Very few have any kind of work ethic.

20+ years ago when my kid went to A Street, one day he came home and asked why we had jobs.  :beat

There ya go.

The things we value, like a decent car, healthy food, gym memberships, a bedroom for each of your children . . . they just don't care about any of that because they've never known it.  It's not important for them to obtain it.  Why do you need a boat/quad/sxs/mountain bikes, etc, when you have TV with 500 channels?

Takes lots of both courage and sacrifice... :grouphug  Our school has made significant effort to get the household involved in the kid's education... :good

Oh...Santa didn't bring me a dehydrator... :beat

In most of the country it's different than here in the Southwest.  

I'm thinking (if I'm wrong I'll do something else) that it's going to be a lot easier in Montana.  The 3 districts I'm looking at don't have a high enough number of kids in poverty to make them a "counted" group on the test scores, 100% of them speak English, and, if you know anything about test scores, 800 is the magic number to get the feds off your back, and these districts are all between 820-900.  

Oh, and the average class size is 22.  Here in my district, it's 38.  65 if you are lucky enough to teach P.E.  :rolleyes

I certainly wish you well with the move to Montana... :good

Our school still has not broken through the 700 level... :(  but we are improving 2x% each cycle... :good

Yep, very tough to give quality education/attention when you have these large class sizes... :beat
