    The thunder and lightning was awesome. Not a bad background to working on a friend's truck till 1ish in the morning. Ended up cutting out the bolt for the shock on one of the LCA's. Most stubborn thing in the world.

    Question time though. I'm installing a line lock. The ABS system is making this more difficult than necessary. So my question is, does the fluid in the system move freely through the ABS actuator? The actuator ONLY affects the flow of fluid through it when the ABS system is actively braking, correct? There are brake lines that go in and out of the actuator. I just want to be sure before I install this sucker.

    Hey everyone. Been wanting to move out to the Northwest for awhile and things are finally lining up for the wife and I to make this happen in the next couple months. Just need to tackle the small detail of landing a job 2,500 miles away first.

    Started hitting the job sites this week, but if anyone has any leads on openings for a software guy like myself (C#, Java, SharePoint, SQL, etc) with a company willing to recruit from out of state, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.

    Honestly, if you have experience and know what you are doing, they are hiring. Get on linkedIn. Get on their pages. My student resource people at DeVry are saying they call daily looking for qualified applicants.

    Interesting what 6 years will do. Back in '07 they only went to career fairs to pitch trick questions and consume free cookies.

    Hmm.... Might be a tight fit at Evans Creek but I'd be willing to make that tradeoff as well.

    Seattle ideally, mainly cause of the number of jobs there, but anywhere from Canada to Portland and near the Cascades is the plan at this point.

    If you decide on Seattle, try and live on the east side or north of Seattle. Anywhere round here is good so we'll look forward to having ya in the PNW
    Always nice seeing a fellow TWer out on the road

    Reminds me that I should leave a note to myself: Keep my big round head inside the vehicle at all times

    Of course, I've never used it as leverage against a tree while the truck was moving but I stick it out there more often than I should.

    If you want to live anywhere in the PNW I recommend the cascades since I personally go to the cascades more than anywhere else because of the beauty of the area
