NW WA Meet / BS Thread

He was moving shops and didnt have half of his stuff set up

 

Yeah i still have my white stock front bumper if you need a temp one.

 

Welp this will be my last summer in the PNW for the next few years.. Got accepted to Cal Maritime University just north of San Francisco, transferring down for next fall. Ill be here until late August, ill probably drive back for summers but for the most part ill be down there for the next 2.5-3 years. On the bright side though when you guys see my truck next (in person and after this summer) there will be big changes happening

 

Congrats buddy. That's big news.

 

Thanks man! Ill of course stay on this thread mainly. Hopefully ill have time to come back and camp/wheel in the summer but I know ill be abroad in a port city for 3 weeks at some point, just don't know where or when. I may be able to take my RTT and camping gear down though, depends how big my apartment is

 

That's awesome man! what are you going to be studying there?

 

Thanks Cam! Ill be majoring in maritime business so there are a ton of jobs that I could do. Plus ill probably get my masters degree after that.

NorCal has a bunch of trails up by Lake Tahoe that ill be checking out too so it'll be fun. By talking to guys who have gone to that school they said they pretty much had every weekend off so ill be doing lots of exploring

 

Right on brother. That stuff has always interested me. We'll have to talk about it more on our next camping trip.

 

Yeah for sure. I want to do at least one camping trip up to gallagher before i leave

 

Ha! Have fun in that crap hole. Lemme tell you, you ain't lived til you've lived in Vallejo (if you live through it). I graduated CMA '07 (ME, license track), which, from what I understand, was also the last year of the auto shop club (the new sim building displaced the maintenance guys who then comandeered a portion of the auto shop club building before staging a setup to get the club kicked out). There's not much wheeling around other than the big field over by Target. Used to be that you had time to make one lap before the police showed up. Everything else is a little bit of a drive to get to.

 

Hahaha Oh I know it isn't in a good town... At all.. But I have a friend in San francisco im planning on spending most of my free time with. What did you major in?

 

Nice man! Two of my close buddies went there, the stories those guys tell about that school though…wow.

My friends graduated in '06 both work for Western Towboat, do you work local?

 

Oh god I have to find out now haha Ill PM ya

 

Na its nothing bad, just made my college experience seems like a PG rated movie haha.

 

With just bolt on items

 

Hope you're saving for bridge tolls, you're at least one, maybe two tolls away from the city depending on the route you take. I majored in mechanical engineering but decided to get my marine engineer license to sail since it was only a few extra classes. I had a sailing job lined up four months before graduation, was on my way to the ship two days after they handed me my diploma. Spent the next couple of years either on vacation or delivering grain to east Africa.

I've been local for the past few years but most of my sailing has been blue water on ships. Most recently was a 65k horsepower boat carrying trucks to Alaska. I've decided that I need a break from the Gulf of Alaska, so I'm hopping over to a different ship. If your friends are engineers there's a decent chance I know them. If they're deck it'd be very slim. The way that the courses and training cruises work out you tend to know people in your division, in your class and the classes two years ahead and two years behind.

Umm... yeah... I'm still amazed at some of the crap that we got away with. I've heard that they've really toned things down a bit.

 

The reason I was asking is because I'm going to get my speedometer calibrated and to do that they are going to put it on a Dyno. Ahh a Dyno run, I feel it's like taking your kid on their first day of school. :'(

 

Ordered my 12" king's with resi's to go with the BAMF mount ffdawson's new setup but it'll look like this, gonna be flexin so hard

 

nice man! those are going to be sick
cant wait to get back and order all my stuff!
