Wyoming B.S. Thread

Purple Haze coolant looks like chocolate milk. Not sure how/when that would of happened.

 

Awww shit that sucks.

Now what? weren't you going to sell that one?

 

Fix it I suppose. You done head gaskets on the 3.4 before?

 

nooooo!

 

I haven't no. None of mine have blown...yet.

Shitty man. I did my supra's HG. PITA! And you have to try and clean everything as much as possible. Like full flush and cleaning the oil..sucks. Probably the worst part really. You'll want to replace the radiator too if its super bad chocolate milk.

Also did your parts truck have good spindles on it? I think my driver front wheel bearing is going out on Igor. Not totally sure yet...but i think thats whats happening. Either that or my tire is wore like dog shit already.

 

I'm going to use them on the 4 door when I convert it to 4 wheel drive.

Think I'm just going to park it for now. Too cold to mechanic at the moment.

 

Oh right duh

Yea no shit. Freaking freeze your fingers to the block

 

Wow, not a good day to Taco's...

 

why what happened?

 

Man, I am driving myself crazy with jobs. All I do is read up on the federal hiring system and constantly look for positions. I can't focus on anything else. I literally stay up till 10 pm because new positions are posted for the following day at that time and some only allow for 25 applicants. I applied for a few more very promising positions tonight.

I dug deeper into the qualifications for the Boise fish biologist position and sent an email to the HR rep who deemed me "unqualified" citing a small excerpt showing that I am actually qualified and asked for a re-evaluation. Unfortunately, there are so many rules, mistakes like this happen often. Good news is there is a very promising position in portland. I would be working at the Bonneville dam...loved going there to see the fish climb the ladders as a kid and it played a role in me going to school for me major. It would be a crazy act of life if I ended up there for my first job out of college...

 

#obsessed haha

It'll pay off im sure.

The worst case scenario is you don't get called back at all..which isn't going to happen anyways. So really the best, and kinda bad, case scenario is you get 30 call backs and have to choose haha

 

I would hope for a 50% chance of making it to the interview and 25% getting offered a position. It'll pay off, just going to be a rough semester if I have a hard time focusing on the task at hand. Still hoping to see a good wyoming position open up but everyone I have talked to has said it probably won't happen any time soon.

 

@shipps wtf tyler doesn't like the soft topper? Also you have a place to wrench at or just a snow basher wrencher? haha

 

Fuck one day on the job in Jackson at the resort and I absolutely love everyone I work with and love the culture and how laid back and "ski bum" this side of life is. So happy and pumped for this next round of adventures. I don't deserve how good everything's been for the last 10 months but it ain't stopping yet!

 

I think he's wanting to build a bed rack instead.

We usually wrench up at his place, he's got a garage and a tool box to make any mechanic drool. If you need a spot to work on something I know he'd be happy to let you use it.

 

Ahhh gotcha. Saw it on CL last night haha

Sweet! I think im going to need to swap wheel bearings out. Going to need to find a machine shop in town too with a 50t press.

 

The email worked! I am now in the running for the fish biologist position in Boise and cottonwood Idaho! Stoked!

 

never hurts to ask.

same thing happened to Devin today except about an audition haha They said she missed the deadline even though they didn't have one posted and she went off the only instructions she had. They are letting her audition now haha

 

Good! Just got a call from the cottonwood field office. Looks like I just barely made it to the first round of interviews.

 

Lets here about your truck. Not ur jobs
