I've been in Colorado for 10 years and it's time for a change.

Want to move somewhere with rowdy enduro riding, friendly welcoming genuine community, and jobs doing design and fabrication for high end residential custom building. I also ski, but I'd prefer year round biking. Women to date would be good.

I'm from upstate South Carolina, so Brevard/Asheville/Pisgah is an obvious choice. Don't want to live in Colorado anymore. Not interested in new England.

48m. Single no kids. I do 3d design and fabrication for high end residential (CAD modeling, woodworking and metal fab). My main things in life are my two 90 lb dogs and mountain biking. I currently live in a remote ski town of 2000 people in the Rockies. It's beautiful, peaceful, and safe. I have a great job and a nice place to live. However, i've been here for 3 years and I have zero community. Zero. I don't want to die alone with no friends and no partner and that's what's going to happen if I stay here. I've never had problems eating or making friends anywhere else, but it's literally impossible here.
The only family I have (mom, bro, sis, nephews) is in upstate South Carolina. My lifelong friends have scattered across the world and grown apart, so that's not really a consideration. I've been living out west for about 10 years and have just never been able to connect with people out here. FWIW I made the best friends of my whole life in Kansas City, Chicago, and NYC. So I'm looking for a place with community, real friends I can count on, women in my age bracket to date, good mountain biking, and room to run my dogs. Id prob say somewhere around 100k people. Also need a job obviously. I typically work for high end custom home builders designing and building fancy shit like built ins, handrails, custom metal stairs, cabinets, fireplaces, etc. Fwiw I also ski and am ok with winter, but I think I'd maybe prefer to live somewhere with year round biking at this point.

2x2 top and bottom rail, 1.5 square balusters. 2x2 posts. all solid wood. building it in the shop. how would you do the joinery? I don't have a festool domino or that's what I would use. Mortise? dowel pins? it's not a particularly well equipped shop and I don't have a mortising kit. would just have to be chisel and drill press. it's for a client so it's not some personal woodworking project that I can spend a month on making some crazy Japanese joint
