    Yeah, this is graduation round 2 so I can't put off the working world any longer.

    From what I've heard so far I should really enjoy work. Lots of opportunities to advance and travel but, at the end of the day, its still work.

    If it's work that you can enjoy, then you're doing better than a lot of folks out there in the work force. I've got to make a change... I used to love my job, but there's little appeal to it nowadays.

    Hopefully that's the case! I hated what I was doing before I started my masters. I always knew I was going to go back but that expedited the process

    Smart man. I wish I was smart enough to go back to school! That may change in the near future, who knows.

    I was only out for 8 months before going back and it seemed like an eternity, I couldn't imagine doing it if I had been out of "school" mode for too long

    Therein lies my problem... I've been out for 7 years. Not too long to give up just yet, though.

    If only that was the case.

    Going to at least try and get the waterport mounted up along with maybe wiring in the National Luna Battery Monitor.

    I'll be there in spirit! I've gotta wash the 4Runner and tackle the paint cancer on my front bumper. At some point sliders and wheels need to be repainted

    I'm down to lend a hand Sunday while I'm in town @Zac of all trades may need some beer buddies too. Mini mod day? My projects are waiting on more parts or welder time, so I've got nothing on my rig that needs done just yet but what I do have is a cooler and some beer.

    I'm down, all are welcome. My garage will only fit one truck at a time and my drive is too steep so only one truck on jacks. But I've got lots of tools, O'Reilly's and AutoZone are right nearby and I know a few things.

    Came home to the center console tray phone dock that @T MAC makes and I'm super impressed. I agree with @Naveronski that it's awesome. If you don't already have a dock and have the best gen you should just go ahead and order one.

    I have an 18v impact that i will bring.
    Dude, any free time should go to mods. I feel like i am always doing something to my truck. Either messing with old mods or putting in new ones.... Last couple weeks have been messing with the sound system. I have a channel go out on my amp so i have to take it out and be without tunes for a couple weeks till i get my amp back from Arc Audio.

    I also need to get into my DSP and do some tuning on the EQ. I feel like my 6x9s need a bit more bass to them, also my 4khz range is really low and i need to try to get that up.
    Bring the beer! And an extra set of hands is always nice.

    Do you have the tools to change the fluid in my front and rear diffs? I got a maintenance report on my truck and i didnt see that they ever changed the fluids in the trans or diffs and i am pushing 78,700 miles on my truck now. If you do then i will buy the stuff to do that also. And i need to do my rear diff breather mod still. I have everything to do it, i just havent gotten to that mod yet. But i figure i should do it if im changing the fluid.
